Genuinely curious: Do you run this on single tenant hardware that you own ?

Back in 2001/2002 my personal website was “slashdotted” several times…
… which I learned about after the fact by seeing myself on slashdot.
It was not noticeable as it occurred and my services were not impacted.
So perhaps you need a p3-500 with 64 megabytes of ram and Apache 1.x and an old copy of cgi-lib.pl ?
I include myself in that.
I hope people find value in the things I have built and I assume that my literal skin in the game, in the form of my children and eventual grandchildren, will allow others to identify aligned interests ...
... but don't let your guard down just because that one guy did some nice things.
However, an even more fundamental philosophy behind any work that we do is "defense in depth" which means that even after building the fault-tolerant, anti-fragile system, we also spend time and resources qualifying the inputs ...
... and then spend time and resources monitoring the outputs (error rates, failures, correlation, etc.).
Any one of those pieces is, theoretically, sufficient. Layering the pieces in a defense in depth strategy is what gives us the highly confident posture we enjoy.
We don't.
"At rsync.net we have trusted suppliers with verified supply chains and a long history of providing reliable service."
...
"However, from time to time, it is expedient to purchase parts from Amazon - something we do with care and suspicion."
... and that care and suspicion takes the form of physical and logical inspections and extended part burn-in.
As you can see, this QC process caught these mis-labeled parts.
A lot of abuse came to light during the launch and initial mining of the (ridiculous) Chiacoin[1] during which Chia miners would burn through SSDs to within a hair of their usable life, reset their SMART stats, and sell them as new on Amazon or ebay.
As can be seen in my above comment, larger distributors like "Maestro Technologies" have their stock polluted with parts like this and I find it very unlikely that they are not aware of the status of these parts they are selling as new.
Further - and most concerning - is the pollution of the supply chain with refurbished/recertified stock being sold and marketed as "new".
One example:

I strongly advise buyers to stick with trusted suppliers, avoid Amazon/ebay channels, and carefully vet your incoming stock with SMART tools to ensure you receive what you think you are ... especially for SSD parts.
I'd be interested in an "HN for financial folks" but the very modest ability to handle auth/login is a minimum requirement for me ...
Just email us …
To clarify ... it is not capped. You may scale the lifetime payment option to any size you like in 100 GB increments.
You may also upgrade it later in life, most likely for less money/TB ...
This means that our (the provider) and your (the user) interests are perfectly aligned: we want you to use more storage and we will make it easy for you to do so. Your needs, and usage, will grow and you will make further payments to us over time - just on a longer, more drawn out schedule.
Do you have a regular, intensive, exercise routine with a good mix of aerobic and resistance training?
Don’t buy the fancy high flow air filter if you’re not even doing oil changes…
What name do we give “the guy who says it’s fine to tear down Chestertons fence” ?
It works everywhere.
What ID would we provide?
Would we pick some random employee to attach to the account?
What relevance does this have to the notion of “piercing the corporate veil” if a business account is tied to someone’s drivers license?
I place the blame for this situation squarely on the careless and thoughtless user population who have blindly provided their phone numbers and now ID scans to any old random, fly by night, start up who request them.
This is nice to know but in future versions of Firefox that single config switch (browser.ml.enable) will both change names and split into multiple sub-switches, most likely appearing in different pages of about:config.
These sub-switches will then not remain consistent.
Bank on it.
I mounted a 20MB external Apple hard drive:

... on my MSDOS system, in 1994, by attaching it to my sound card.
The Pro Audio Spectrum 16, weirdly, had a SCSI connector on it.
I will watch that inbox personally - please do be in touch as soon as possible.
Please also accept my condolences and best wishes - I've known Greg since the earliest HOPE conventions.
Further, unless things have changed I believe you will also lose your gallbladder as a result of donating a liver lobe.
Many of these femtocells, historically, could be trivially altered or updated to participate as literal peers on SS7.
I haven't looked into this for many years but there was a time when operating a certain femtocell granted the owner an enormous amount of leverage on the global telecom network ...
As described in this post:

... it is distressingly common for Amazon sellers to resell used and/or refurbished drives as brand new.
We generally source drives in much larger quantities from specific suppliers we have relationships with.
However, once in a while we are forced to look at what can be quickly or easily sourced from Amazon and it is only with the utmost caution that we do so.
As can be seen in the link above, sometimes our proofing process reveals bad actors.
What will stop the market is the sudden realization (among retirees and near-retirees) that all of this AI bubble talk is relevant to their interests because their equity index exposure is actually 1/3 mag7 exposure.
They will, correctly, decide it is time to reduce equity exposure (possibly to zero, depending on age and situation).
This is, potentially, a recipe for a very abrupt and disorderly rush for the exit.
Our PCI compliance page is an easter egg:

No certification required. Code compliant. Idiot-proof.
The 20A is not being "enforced" in any way and your outlet can receive, and pass on, any arbitrary current ... until something melts, that is.
You could achieve your goal by wiring in a fuse, or circuit breaker in that circuit and could probably nicely (and safely) package it up in a plastic junction box, etc.
No, it doesn't necessarily mean surveillance ... or, at least, not automated surveillance.
Your wishes (which I share) can be fulfilled with human bodies (possibly police) on the street deterring these bad actions.
I suspect almost all of that data still exists - it just isn’t readily available.
In the desperate end-game of this most recent round of “it’s shit, but what if we collected enough of it?” every last bit of human generated content will be resurrected.
I suspect the second ingredient is US boomers right on the edge of retirement or otherwise shifting to fixed income… And a normal correction causes all of them to divest simultaneously from equities.
There is a potential for a stampede out of US equities.
There is a liquid market of TQQQ puts.
