To whomever has launched a denial of service attack on Codeberg, an independent source code hosting cooperative, congratulations, you win at being a most exemplary douchebag (or douchebags, as the case may be).

kc,

@aral looks like whoever it was went after sourcehut first and codeberg might just be a casualty of crossfire or just something more nasty https://outage.sr.ht/

I'm re-watching COLOSSUS THE FORBIN PROJECT ( 1970)

https://archive.org/details/colossus-the-forbin-project-1970

and can't refrain from transposing it to present days...

Could the senseless DDOS attack against sr.ht be some LLM testing defense infrastructure of IT FOSS companies ? Crazy, I know (current LLM genearations are "script kiddie" level, but will it eventually be skilled enough)

Good film though.

I tend to agree with "jordemort" 's comment over there on id=38966035: "In a way, SourceHut and Codeberg getting this kind of attention is an encouraging sign that these alternative forges are starting to gain traction."

Yes, that's the positive angle :D

@aral This confuses me as well. Is it some sort of ransom attack?

@ZacBelado Ransom attacks only make sense when organisations have money :)
