Maybe, it could be caused by the DDoS. I think most of the servers are on a networked file system, and although those should be resilient against network problems, it’s possible that some nasty combination of circumstances caused problems.
I have no idea whether this is really the cause or how likely this is. This is all just hypothetical.
RAID protects you against the failure of a particular disk, but there are other issues which it does not protect against. I was told the problem was file system corruption, which means it’s a problem higher up than RAID.
Free hosting runs a mix of different hardware, configurations and OS versions. There are physical machines and VMs, and systems running CentOS 6, AlmaLinux 8, and maybe CentOS 7 too.
I guess it would be more convenient to manage if everything was homogeneous, but the times I remember where servers were migrated, this often resulted in a lot of problems and downtime for websites too. So going the “if it ain’t broken, don’t fix it” route has it’s merits.
Also, from what I can tell, these IPs are fairly new.
One of the problems with it is the unpatched vulnerabilities. Certains applications such as php stop providing security patches after a specific version reaches its EOL, hence keeping it untouched because it works isn’t a good reason.
Even new hardwares let alone old ones have their own share of problems, one of the most recent problems is the not-so-newly discovered vulnerability in most of the Intel CPUs which is patched by a specific firmware update (+loss of performance)
I am so confused.
I can’t connect to ftpupload.net using Filezilla or my localhost project because the connection times out.
I assumed it was a server issue until I tried a web ftp client like https://webftp.dreamhost.com/ and it was all working out fine?
Edit: Appears to be a problem with either my computer’s firewall or my ISP.
Oh god I hate the IE dev console! And it actually really bothers me the roundabout way that you have launch the dev console when using IE mode in Edge.
That’s why I just launch the app itself (works in 11 and 10 trust me I’ve tested it):
Just put it in a .vbs file and double click to run and u have an IE window! Or you could do the same thing in C# but I see no reason to do it that way.
GitHub got worse! " GitHub users are now required to enable two-factor authentication as an additional security measure. Your activity on GitHub includes you in this requirement. You will need to enable two-factor authentication on your account before October 05, 2023, or be restricted from account actions."
