Cant throttle the backup server? or run it on another network?
Wed Aug 20 2025 08:50:43 UTC from darknetuserI love it when the automated backup script performs the regular full backup schedule for a node and the node is so big it takes 50+ hours. Maxing up the GB Ethernet, mind you.

Nah, backups already have their own NIC & network. The issue is I/O for the production applications get a bit slow during backups. The good news is that full backups are scheduled around these dates precisely because nobody is using the production application heh
Had a few free minutes earlier this evening.. Looks like place was flooded again? :(
( i'm still around. still busy )
Yeah ... same kind of lowlifes, too. The good news is that I've fixed the problem. The bad news is that the code that fixes the problem won't be here for quite some time yet. We'll play whack-a-mole until then.
Between scam, spam, attacks, online is getting to become difficult.
Wont miss it when i go 'hard' dark in the not so distant future. Once i get my finances/healthcare sorted, and most of my paid PTO gone, i'm done with work. ( we get a lump sum on retirement for unused time, but only goes so far. so gotta burn most of it ) Next step will be moving back out to 'nowhere'.
( and ya im around more lately than expected.. )
No spammers, no scammers, under the radar of big tech. It's the corner pub where the locals gather.
Yes, but email is still there, gotta watch for the occasional bill and such. And my connection is getting hammered like no tomorrow these days. Flood/attack is one of the early reasons i shut my public sites off. Now its all behind Nginx with a login.. Bad thing is since its all behind the proxy, a few times my apps have blocked the proxy due to the failed login attempts.. i'm not doing 'ip pass thru' for safety.
Oh and did i mention the paper mail scam here of late? "hurry call us before your warranty runs out" with truly fake contacts.. Not even the normal legit, but annoying, 'hey, hurry buy our stuff' spam, but instead clearly fake, mirroring scam emails.
Tho i will admit sometimes they are funny like the recent flood of "free Predator generator at Tractor Supply" with a botched logo. Come on, at least do research... Tho i have a friend who had no clue it wasn't real when i commented on the comedy.. scary stuff . His excuse " i have never been to a harbor freight or Tractor Supply so it looked legit to me ". I'm sure someday he gets scammed and loses everything.

The ones that I find truly pathetic are the ones from contracting companies that make a bad attempt at looking like the contractor physically went to your house and scribbled some things on a yellow lined pad before dropping it in your mailbox. Sure, I'll bet you were here. You looked at my house and wrote some notes and then drew circles around some important points. And yet the postal address on the other side is machine-printed and addressed "to our neighbor at". Riiiiiight.
I have had a couple where they did print the correct address and name too, along with the printed handwriting of course. Had one that had a picture of my house on the envelope.
Sure, neither is hard in this day and age as its all public record, but i will give them credit for doing the homework.

I really think if you are not using the "forwarder-for" headers you at least need to disable login locking in your applications and have a log parser check the logs of the services to ban the ips periodically. At minimum.
The app it was effecting the most, i dont have a way to change it ( which i agree, is dumb ) and i dont believe i can enable forwarding like that with my proxy, short of installing the full thing and not the simple version i have. If i was running a business off it, its worth it, but just for me.. no, so another reason not to futz with it.
But its not often, and it does reset soon after, so as long as the flood drops its not end of world, just annoying. Plus i'm home now 99% of the time.. so its not as a big of a deal. ( for that app at least )

Eww. They are a waste of tax dollars and space.
