I had a cheeseburger for dinner. It was….. okay.
DDoS attacks are illegal, but what is the legal amount of times a person can call a website? I'm sure enough people doing just a few calls per second couldn't get a person into too much trouble. Has the law even defined the difference?
The legal difference would be intent; are you trying to access the website, or are you trying to bog it down? Proving intent can of course be difficult, but OTOH I don't know how much longer American courts are going to care about silly things like proof

No, don't ever organize like this. We are on the left. We are smart and we are righteous. We do not plan and coordinate and work together in this behavior. This would be sneaky and take social skills and foresight. No we need to gather in downtown Chicago with signs and megaphones. Protest in the streets. Only protest. We're not animals like trumpets who do this stuff and get away with it and never let up. They don't know the power of chaining themselves to a fence. They don't get the rush and mighty feeling when the crowd boos you and tells you to go home and throws things at you. No they don't understand. They don't understand we do it for them.

Should plant a timed zip bomb on the servers that autoruns on reboot

And nothing was lost.
Wonderful! May it stay that way forever.
Now this is the kind of X news I'm okay with reading.
Although I can only imagine what this means for the US since Musk is treating the government like one of his businesses.
And nothing of value was lost.
Reddit was like this, even way before the enshittification.
It happened so often on Reddit, it wasn't even news.
"Something went wrong. Try Mastodon."
But wait, isn’t this some sort of official government communication channel now? Sure there must be uptime agreements and penalties for such a thing, right? Right?!?
Oh no!
Anyway...
