I was kind of wondering if his email about it was a form of humblebrag.

Iām not sure Iād call it that. He has received a lot of grief from criminal factions over the years due to his reporting. Heās been swatted. Heās had drugs sent to his house and the police called.
It was the largest DDoS that anyone has recorded, and itās kind of amazing people would burn a perfectly good bot net for that sort of petty revenge. Akamai actually did a good job keeping the site up during the attack as well. They spent enough money on it that they did say they couldnāt host him under their past arrangement, as they were doing it pro bono. 3 days later and the site is back online. Looks like itās Google hosting it now?

I admit Iām not at my most charitable this weekend, having had an emergency power outage for 11 hours on Friday and then a planned power outage (which they informed us of by emailing us at 6:10am on a Saturdayā¦seriously?) the following morning for a few hours to replace the temporary equipment fix with a permanent solution. How that affects this situation is that I was not delving into the vast majority of my emails that day, merely scanning the line or two visible on my phone to see what really couldnāt wait and had to take up precious battery use. What I saw was the sensational opener that the DDoS attack on him was the ālargest in historyā. Obviously, now that Iām back in modern civilization again I can see that he means the largest in his HOSTās history:
But according to Akamai, it was nearly double the size of the largest attack theyād seen previously, and was among the biggest assaults the Internet has ever witnessed.
I appreciate all the work he does. Even though I barely understand the info he provides, I have been on his email list for years. I know when someone is so brilliant at what they do that I should pay attention because even understanding a mere 5% of what they say is a valuable education. It just hit me wrong in the moment, thatās all. There are a lot of egos among those who understand and manipulate the internet, and I was uncharitably thinking: oh, sure, YOUāRE so important, in comparison to the major industries that have been hit these past few years.
Basically, that was just me being grumpy!
(I even sniped at a very good friend, who was doing me the great favor of buying food for takeout AND picking up my kid after she got back from an away game so that we could eat and recharge at their home.)

And Mr. Robot seems to be gaining some traction. Iām only recedntly viewing and 2/3s of the way through S1 and just read through some of the reddit AMA with the āfsociety crewā and now I know about the Mr. Robot ARG which sounds like it came about in S2. Anyone looked into that? Iād like to dabble but since I am fairly far behind I donāt want to run into too many spoilersā¦but how can you avoid spoilers with the overwhelming urge to know all the theories that are out there, threads begging to be readā¦

semi spoiler Mr. Robot
Yes it is quite violent, the score is like Stranger Things - just guttural.
Sopranos, meets Hackers, meets Fight Club + fact checked realism
[joshua] How about a nice viewing of The Get Down instead? [/joshua]
