I stand by my comment calling you a mercenary years ago
Francisco
well, no, because that would imply a 3rd party paying me for it - In this case i was simply cornered and considering i ran an ISP solely for crime it made really no difference if i get the owner of JustHost 10 years jail for supporting a Russian insurgency in Ukraine or just give up.
I gave up under other legal pressure anyway - you don't win against the Turkish gov - but in crime its Eye for Eye, and at least you have to send a FUCK U message.
Statute of limitations slowly expires on most of this things, so i can finally write them down
that thread ended up being much more interesting than I expected haha
war is the result of ignorance.
if you have two sides with army enough to stand a fight, no matter who wins, if a war starts both already lost more than any other agreement they could arrange.
but that is an ideal perspective and we know how the world doesn't use to follow ideal ways.
@William is quite right. Back in the days, if an attack was done, ISPs would fight back. There were collaborations between ISPs for moments when such hate would come up. There were even hackers with many compromised machines, ready to initiate an attack from multiple sources, with just a command given on IRC, when someone requested.
Now the world is much calmer. Many no longer know how to fight. It's nice though, because they take their anger and frustrations into video games, and unload there. But on the other hand, evil things can happen (like what happens in this case) and providers go into panic mode, because the law, and big corporations, will not protect a small fish under attack (unless he pays really well).
Uptime of my VPS at Alexhost during April.
I get to around 98%. For 99cent/Mo pretty happy.
I'll do some colo with them next month also, we'll see.
Alexhost seems to be ok now. at least I have noticed things working again.
I ran a benchmark on that vps just to see what would come out, never really ran benchmark before...
I guess you guys know better than me...
and btw, I was wrong about the war... war is inevitable... war is just another name for conflict between humans...
the only thing we can do is try to get the best out of it and minimize the damages
@William was right
Do they have 100mbit or gbit connection ? ive seen people poted gbit speed despite website saying 100mbit connection
Stable but still going via Moscow.
Were you really able to frame the owner of JustHost resulting in 10 years of jail for "supporting Russian Insurgency"?
Please tell this story. People should never mess with you.
I'm a fan of AlexHost (Moldova) as well. If a couple people wanted to chip-in to hire you @William to "resolve" their issue with the terrorist, how much do you charge just to try?
@Offshore_Solutions - Be careful what you wish for, @William is...
HAHA! I'm a believer
No, thats the maximum penalty, obviously he got nothing (i also deliberately do not state the Domain, there is much JustHost in Eastern europe), but at least caused enough stress to settle issues.
I live in a town where they film tons of shows and movies. If I ever run into a producer willing to hear some of my movie ideas, I'm pitching him a version of John Wick that goes after a group that did ransomware on hospitals. I think Quentin Tarantino could do it really well in the style of Inglourious Basterds.
Not much interesting unless it is causing myself issues, the risk:reward calculation does not really work out well.
But in a general sense on the ultimate end - for 7 digits i get him designated a terrorist and taken care of
Thank you 😊
I'd watch that. Personally, I'd prefer it in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels format.
Guy Ritchie film, right? I don't speak that "English". Would need subtitles.
Ransomware criminals deserve Jigsaw, not Guy Ritchie/Quentin Tarantino.
