That followed on from a 10Gbps network level DDoS attack last week. Very nice of Hetzner to just mitigate it for me without any grief.

Had to harden the defences for Hostr a bit today after a botnet triggered my authentication failure monitoring. 6,500 blocked IPs later and it relented.

Where was Santa while those other reindeer were bullying Rudolph? I don't believe he was unaware it was happening, and only intervened when Rudolph's nose became suddenly useful. What a prick.

Oh man, PUBG snow map now on the test servers https://steamcommunity.com/games/578080/announcements/detail/1698317802625484487

A slot has opened up in my friend's Gloomhaven group and I am so happy!

Is there any kind of bridge that I can run for keeping up on some people's tweets via Mastodon? Maybe a self-hosted Mastodon with bots for each user I want to follow, or something like that?

I did not play any RDR2 today. I miss my horse.

I'm 100% on board with the pacing of RDR2, it leans in to slower modes of transport instead of trying to compensate for it. So far it feels like a really chill experience.

Played some PUBG after a few days away with ridiculous hours at work. Seems to have paid dividends in chicken dinners though. New record of 4 back to back to back to back wins.

I have a weird bucket list. I don't have a band that I have to see, but I _have_ to see James Mickens give a talk. Here's his take on AI and ML https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajGX7odA87k

Is there a gender neutral term for wise old engineers? Like greybeard, except inclusive of folks who can't grow beards?
