Re:Purelymail – cheap, no-nonsense email on Friday July 02, 2021 @06:09AM (#27709735)
Pretty close! They accept the mail returning a "250 OK"ish code, but they delay it for days (or even months) not respecting the SMTP protocol. I actually recevied the emails on Outlook after many many days I have sent them :/

Gmail seems good, I never had issues with Gmail.

How did the doctor know her vitamin levels were low? I once asked a doctor if the vitamins in our body can be measured, and he said it can't be done, is not something you can measure.

At least someone can review the code, but is this enough to trust them? I am talking about the people who really worries about their files on cloud storage services.
Re:Tell HN: MacOS turns off the fans when Siri is listening on Tuesday September 13, 2016 @10:35AM (#12488588)
Good point, otherwise the hardware might damage with constant usage of Siri, or is this the actual plan of Apple?
Re:Ask HN: How do you handle DDoS attacks? on Sunday August 28, 2016 @01:03PM (#12377279)
There are many services for HTTP protection, but when you have a custom protocol for a RT service like a game, you are kind of screwed. It's even worst if your game is UDP based.

I used to get attacked huge a load of corrupt UDP packets for a few seconds and that used to hang the main server, wich in 1 or 2 minutes disconnected all my players.

Solution: separate your UDP services from your TCP services in separate applications and servers, also use different type of protection services for each.

The attack still hanged the UDP services, so I started thinking about making a plugin for snort to analyse the traffic and only allow legit protocol packets. I haven't done any of this last idea because the attackers stopped since they noticed that no one was being disconnected.

BTW, for TCP and HTTP I just used any tiny service that protects me from SYN Flood, like Voxility resellers.
