If I had to guess I’d say someone on LET got my IP again. Let the DDOS attacks roll, again. Bastards made me die in call of duty while I switched the firewalla to the backup internet. #firstworldproblems

I temporarily pointed my router hostname to Evolution Host that is impossible to DDoS.
My residential connection has been fine since then.

I'm confused, how did they get your router host name or did you make that public?

Ahem "certificate transparency" ahem.

gosh that SUCKS

Why would anybody ever embed youtube video into their signature?

On broadband, many people get the same IPv4 assigned for the life of the modem and depending how the replacement is provisioned, it may take the same IP after replacement.

Indeed. I've lived in this house for 15 years and had exactly 5 different IP addresses. Every time it's changed has been because I've changed ISP.

Mass deployment
Well its good either way I guess but I have a fear that they are gonna use up a lot of IPv6 addresses

:facepalm:

Will take 5 minutes to setup: https://github.com/willnorris/imageproxy
Put CloudFlare infront of it, page rules for CloudFlare to edge-cache everything, means you can get away with a tiny amount of traffic.
Also with flexible SSL you can just use port 80 for the imageproxy and still serve https, who cares what happens between CloudFlare and the origin server anyways.

Put that on a 10$ Virmach VPS that works 90% of the year and since CloudFlare edge-caches everything people won't even notice when the server fails.

Use only ram cache and zram with zstd to annoy Virmach a little and to not care about disk space running out.

Would also advise to edit the systemctl script: https://github.com/willnorris/imageproxy/blob/main/etc/imageproxy.service

Add your external address and port 80, change the user to root because you don't care if an imageproxy server gets hacked, and change to Restart=on-fail

If you don't understand the instructions use the docker image, on most Virmach VPS zstd will now be a requirement to not run out of ram, in my experience docker works fine on a 512MB Virmach VPS with 2GB zram, on usual setups you will run out of ram, because compression happens too fast with such a ratio, but on Virmach it's fine, since compression is not that fast, so I'd advise Virmach for the best price/performance ratio.

This will annoy Virmach a little more, since you now run on 100% cpu most of the time, but that's probably fine, they usually only care about I/O.

Now go into Vanilla and change whatever you have to change to automatically put the imageproxy url in front of the actual url, like: https://imageproxy.lowendtalk.com/[URL]

If you are using Cloudflare, you should build image proxy on the edge with Workers.
It's unnecessary to have an origin server.

Take note that you will be charged for every single request, even if it's cached.

That is quite honestly an unfair statement. Their ryzen servers haven't been looking good, but they were previously renting colocrossing servers which at least had decent uptime. There's many other hosts around here like racknerd who are primarily using colocrossing and you don't see people complaining about uptime.

In fact, even including the statistics of their ryzen servers, they said they had an average of 99.5% uptime across all servers last month.

They still advertise 100% uptime guarantee on the front page
