Yet another DNS attack.
I wish I knew someone who could fix this, but everyone wants a year long
maintenance contract.$1200 or more for a year.
I can’t afford that.
Damn.
Sounds like you are being hit by a different version of ransom ware,
cause I can’t think of a single reason why anyone would waste their
time except to get you to sign a contract.
I wish I had a suggestion for you,
but you are much better at computers than I,
and you would probably roll your eyes if I did. LOL
On the IBM 360 I had much more fun in Assembler.
Instead of TestMask against a single bit,
the COBOL folk would use 3 BYTES for a binary flag,
spelling out “YES” or “NO “! Not only wasting memory,
but string operations took sooo many more clock cycles :{
Many years ago, a good friend of mine was involved in a project for the UK MOD,
cleaning up and adding features to the HR and payroll system and database.
It was written in COBOL, but they couldn’t re-write it into something more modern,
because it was accessed by various departments,
who all had custom modules in whatever systems they were using to interface with it,
and no-one had the budget (or the political will) to tear it all down and start again.
The teams were focused on things like making option lists easier to maintain
(the originals were hard-coded in strings, or it might have been arrays),
and things like tax changes easier to implement.
Somewhere early in the project, one of the teams came up with a Visual Development
Environment, which made the whole thing much easier and more manageable – yes,
Visual COBOL, in the late 80’s, before Visual Studio,
but after Visual Basic from Microsoft!
COBOL was my first programming language. I liked it because
it gave you so many characters to name variables, sub-routines
and any other kind of label. If you named things carefully it could
be quite self-documenting. Using the “perform” command I was
naturally writing top-down structured programs almost from day 1.
I would get the logic flow working and THEN figure out how to do
things. BASIC bugged me because I COULDN’T document my code.
I also coded in assembler (Z80 and Motorola 6800 family) and
Pascal. In BASIC I wrote a program to convert between decimal,
hexadecimal and binary. I was also learning SASL (google it) when
Burroughs shut down the research facility where I was working.
The Burroughs facility was the best job I ever had and also was
the only place I felt intellectually under-endowed!
There were people there in whom I stood truly in awe.
So, the old phone does not keep a charge very well?
It might die before Etienne can get you into too much more trouble.
If it uses a proprietary charger, you may get even luckier
and she will not have one in her office junk drawer. :}
Mr Stanley, would you try and figure out why a comment I wrote
failed to publish? I’m guessing I either used a forbidden word or
it was too many characters.
I did a Google search for DNS attacks.
When the page came up I went to the
people ask section. The fourth one down
was how to stop them. It was quite informative.
I didn’t copy and paste because I didn’t know
how much I can write here.
I couldn’t get through last night and tonight
was slow as well. Good luck.
That’s one of the oldest site attacks out there, it’s a simple
number of code lines that only do one thing: flood the
target with thousands of connections at once. It’s easy to
stop if you can trace the source, but they have gotten
better at spoofing the actual address.
Ah, she’s going to torment his mama into giving up,
or flying out the the UK looking for him, which could
get her arrested and deported if she lets her “karen”
out to play…
Heh, I figured as much, they’ll be better off with a
Empire craft. I love the mention of the “wolves” being
unleashed, nothing shuts down game players like
insurance companies than a good, well educated
lawyer in your corner.
Especially when the lawyers are Imperial Navy JAG officers accompanied
by a platoon of Marines arriving on a Wolf Pack of Navy warships (4 destroyers,
12 frigates and a replenishment ship).
What a choice...

I build computers, I don’t know shit about websites.
I haven’t written programs since Fortran.
You would have hated cobal (or however it was spelled)
COBOL was condemned by its very name :}

I like this T, I wish i could get one.
