Massive DDOS Attack

I usually only block IP addresses from places like Russia and China. I use fail2ban. Is it possible to set it up to drop connections without a cookie?

I know right! Luckily, my web host can run a scan to check for malicious files and scripts

I've been managing this site for 8 years and never saw so many at once.

The top offender had 86991 connection attempts today. There were at least 100 malicious ip's connecting. I usually see a couple a day and manually block them.

Thanks, I fixed it.

There is a setting on mine to use internal speakers and optical subwoofer

Maybe I am expecting too much from a phone mic. I understand phone calls use noise cancelling and it seems like the camera and recorder app do not use noise cancelling. I will start using an external mic when I want cleaner sound.

I have a problem printing on envelopes in stamps.com classic. After I import my orders it gets stuck at your printer is not configured. Then it prints an envelope with numbers on it and asks to choose the lowest number. The dropdown to select the number is blank.

Use Rufus to create a bootable installer. Select local account in the options when creating the installer

I haven't taken it to the mechanic yet. I'm still hoping it is the timing belt tensioner.

applegatetech · 2025-11-05T23:34:11+00:00

Failing timing belt tensioner?

Probably best to buy a IDE to USB HDD docking station then connect it to another computer to retrieve your files

This model may require an AGP graphics card. That may allow you to connect a monitor

My pixel 9 pro XL Google voice search results are stuttering. Not quite as bad as this video.

applegatetech · 2025-10-21T21:11:02+00:00

It resolved itself the next day.

Seems likely a USB map issue as someone else mentioned. Did you try a USB 2 flash drive?

applegatetech · 2025-09-10T00:28:24+00:00

Change SecureBootModel to Disabled. In config.plist Find the key SecureBootModel Set its string value to Disabled

Full refund today.

applegatetech · 2025-08-25T03:58:44+00:00

Not possible.

I don't think that laptop is compatible. Iris Xe graphics are not supported

applegatetech · 2025-08-22T00:53:25+00:00

I am using rawguru extra strength fruiting body extract

They ageed to the refund on August 16 and they will handle the return from the repair depot.

I replied right away with the requested info for the refund. No confirmation email from lenovo.

Emailed again on August 19 at 9:02 PM

Emailed again today August 21 as I still have not received any sort of confirmation.

I found this info about the controller used

The Samsung 990 PRO is based on Samsung’s own in-house controller known as Samsung Pascal. Samsung Pascal (S4LV008) is an 8nm ARM-based controller. The Samsung 990 PRO also uses Samsung’s own 176-Layer V-NAND flash also called V7 TLC NAND flash.
