Working on my dashboards and saw a little 50-60 rps "DoS" across 3 IPs. L4 and L7 rate limiting working well and crowdsec quickly detected and blocked the IPs causing trouble. One of the worst offending IPs. https://app.crowdsec.net/cti/91.224.92.138

In summary, the rug pulls will continue until more people realize this. View quoted note →

I guess one of the points I like to share often is this. Don't be short sighted on what capital it takes to build and run modern tech. It's unsustainable and has been for a very long period of time. It's almost ALL unsustainable. They literally cannot afford to offer products at the prices they are. You've heard the phrase "go build it yourself". Try it and tell me how any modern tech model is financial sustainable. It isn't. That's just the reality imo. What that means is that just about any product offered by big tech literally cannot afford to actually benefit you in altruistic ways by default. There is way too much dept (of all forms, not just financial) for them not to extract money from you every way they can to pay off what they owe. I think the finance world would call this a bubble... But the difference is, we have to live in it, many don't have a choice. You're not crazy, it's not sustainable, they literally cannot afford to care about you, even if they wanted to. So don't expect them to is what I'm saying.

lol. I seem to have lost or corrupted a single table in my personal nvault database that stores my preferences. This is annoying but I'm far too behind to fix it or look into it

As I'm seeing more projects release "hand-rolled" encryption and key operations. I know I need to step up noscrypt advertising. If you're building an application (client, server, desktop, etc) that targets x86_64 I maintain a library that will do your nip44 encryption and basic key operations for you :) It's called noscrypt - Noscrypt gives you consistent abstractions for nostr encryption algorithms. - Your choice of highly tested backend libraries such as mbedTLS, openSSL or BCrypt API on Windows - Advanced validation and error feedback - Low level API gives you full control over memory - Low level API will never take control of your process with allocations, aborts, forks, or threading - It has automatic fallbacks for options and platform limitations (relies on monocypher for some fallbacks) - Offers a static or shared library - Includes versioned and hand verified copies of dependencies so you don't need internet access to build once you have the package - CI tested on Windows and Linux x86_64 platforms. (more tests coming soon) - Doesn't rely solely on GitHub or public infra It also includes a C# library for .net devs :) More bindings may be coming soon. https://www.vaughnnugent.com/resources/software/modules/noscrypt
