No questions asked locksmiths are the best (if you’re no thief)

True. That’s not something you want. Could use that downtime for extensive maintenance to roll out a more robust system (they are probably even working on that already in the background). For the end user it doesn’t really make a difference if down because of DDOS or because of maintenance I thought.

Go offline a couple of days until they are losing interest in DDOS’ing? Would that work?

If it’s just the ntfy app that sends these alerts it should be easy enough to send the developers of that app a feature request to implement a sleep mode which can be scheduled to mute the notifications.

To be honest, I don’t often give compliments to others. Firstly, I don’t like being complimented myself. Secondly, I’ve often gotten an “Okay, you’re funny” or something similar in response (even for the simplest compliments with no hidden suggestive thoughts), which didn’t feel like other persons liked being complimented.

I don’t understand why YouTube doesn’t use the stupid blob video format (I don’t know the technical details, maybe it’s about drm protection) already. It almost makes it impossible to view a video in something other than the player it came with and I don’t like that.
