DDoS still major problem? Protection? Tell your experience
Well, I use the most common software, to be honest. I use iptables in combination with fail2ban and additionally I configured my nginx to also check the regex of requests. iptables has stable rules for what to let in and what not to. Though it took me about a month of try and error to get it to...- Merrok

DDoS still major problem? Protection? Tell your experience
Actually @LazyBear is right. Most DDoS Attacks you won't even notice. And that OVH has a great protection might be true, but so do 95% of other hosting services. People here swear on it for some reason that no one was actually ever able to explain to me. But whenever I brought up a different...- Merrok

Somebody is hacking my database
Close port 3306. I don't get why so many people have it open. Remove phpmyadmin. Noone needs phpmyadmin, it's not really that useful if you wanna run a productive system. -
AAC Znote AAC: Linux Ubuntu changelog.cache
I mean, it's just a shot in the dark and I don't know shit about Znote, but changelog.cache.php is owned by root. The read flag might be set for all users but the execute one isn't. Do sudo chown www-data:www-data /var/www/html/engine/cache/changelog.cache.php and sudo chmod +x... -
Cloudflare and SSL question
Basically all Hosting Services offer a pretty strong DDoS protection already that is enough for any OT by far. So no need to use Cloudflare for that. As for the SSL Cert, here is a simple tutorial on how to do it without Cloudflare... -
Complaint Problems with a new moderator
Ignoring every complaint stating "people always complain" isn't the right way to go as well though. If it's just a one case situation, okay. Still should be evaluated, but ok. But if it happens more frequently, it should really be looked into. Otherwise, it will seem like the staff doesn't care... -
Blockchain and the future
If you trust someone or some company is completely safe and awesome and perfect and... stuff... just because someone else, especially a bank, says so, you must be really naive. Partners with influence and money improve chances for success, not guarantee it. Being skeptic and not blindly...- Merrok

Support OTLand (financially) idea
I saw both intentions to be honest. Just didn't go into the one of him wanting to donate using it, which would be wrong as well anyways, just didn't care about that :P But even in the case that he didn't wanna use it at all for his profits, only that argument was obsolete. He would still be the...- Merrok

Support OTLand (financially) idea
How is this is a scam? Something free becomes not free anymore because of the work it causes? It's a logical step and I'm surprised it didn't happen earlier. As I said before, people have the opinion "I want everything for free in the Internet but I wanna earn money with it" Plus you were...- Merrok

Programmer Professional programing services - C/C++/C#/Python/PHP/Lua
I wouldn't say that exactly. Yes, it would be way better if he directly supported anyone he uses code of, but he is within is rights. By your logic, anyone who used nginx, apache, mariadb, mysql and so on without giving them public credit or supporting them financially would be a scum. You don't... -
Programmer Professional programing services - C/C++/C#/Python/PHP/Lua
Well, it has an MIT License. Meaning he is actually allowed to sell but has to do it under the MIT license again. -
Programmer Professional programing services - C/C++/C#/Python/PHP/Lua
@iNux Why? It's always good to support developers who spend much of their personal time programming for the benefit of others. I'm sure most of you use an AdBlock, but how many of you have actually donated the developer? "I wanna earn money on the internet but at the same time not pay for... -
PUA.Game Server
PUA stands for Potentially Unwanted Application. Seems like it was simply detected that there was an unidentified game server. Though I cannot tell you if it's safe since you didn't give a link. But I do assume it is safe, because no other Anti-Virus has found anything, and Ikarus only says it's... -
Blockchain and the future
Sorry should have been more specific. Generally it is not :P And ye I know that website, I've seen this image before. Though it is their website, so you never know how much they adjusted. The thing is that technology can be passed by new technology very very quick. And people are constantly...- Merrok

Blockchain and the future
True, but blockchain has existed for over 10 years and it is still almost only used for jokes and not serious applications. Not counting cryptocurrency which you can see declining in interest as well. Blockchain is NOT a more efficient solution though. The funny thing is that for most things the...- Merrok

Blockchain and the future
Blockchain isn't something for a person. It is a data structure. That doesn't change with the opinion of a person. It's mathematics. Not some opinion. 2+2 doesn't change just because you believe it's 5. A new data structure will not make whole companies disappear. There is a lot more needed to...- Merrok

Blockchain and the future
Thats a horrible idea. It would mean that any client acts as a server as well and thereby the modification of data is much easier. There is a reason for client-server architecture. Look at what happened to GTA Online with their Peer-to-Peer architecture. It's a mess. You can harly temper with...- Merrok

Big German Youtuber wants to start an own client!
You think alot of people will play it because you do? Pewdiepie used to play tibia alot too and while i still can't stand him or his content, it still didn't do anything for the tibia community or its growth that he advertised his love for the game. Actually completely wrong. You obviously...- Merrok

750.000 Subs isn't alot and also doesn't earn you alot of money. It might be alot for your standards though. I don't know. Well going on. You don't seem to have any idea how much work this can be and you also seem to have no exact idea of what you want. There are no details, quite the opposite...- Merrok

Hexera-hexana-Masiyah
I know it's an old topic but it's being talked about over and over again. Legal actions are possible, but CipSoft hasn't done that before as far as I know. It makes no sense for them to go after the biggest OT Servers and then make them shut up. Going after the biggest is what you do to make an...- Merrok
