Re:OpenSubtitles is not open anymore on Thursday November 16, 2023 @10:28AM (#38290721)
I have been using Addic7ed [0] in cases where I need subtitles. Any new shows/series get their subtitles uploaded extremely fast, and as I understand translations also happen there (when already not available from a streaming service).

On the other hand I was using VLSub, a VLC addon, which downloads subtitles automagically. But now I see it used opensubtitles :(

Re:Tell HN: Cloudflare and Scaleway have a peering issue on Tuesday December 06, 2022 @08:31AM (#33879353)
Thanks for the suggestion, that sounds like a workaround too.
Re:Tell HN: Cloudflare and Scaleway have a peering issue on Tuesday December 06, 2022 @06:13AM (#33878095)
Issue is solved. The context for anyone interested from one of Scaleway Engineers [1]:

> To give some context, there are a lot of possible path between Cloudflare and Scaleway : France IX in Paris, NL IX in Paris and in Amsterdam, AMS IX in Amsterdam, and the transit in both region (Cogent, Lumen, Arelion). Cloudflare is announcing some prefixes only on some of these links.

> We were trying to find the root cause since Monday morning, but as we did not have any errors visible on our side, it was pretty hard to identify the faulty path.

Another fun fact from Scaleway CTO is that Cloudflare started answering ... just ~30 minutes ago. [2]

Hopefully not because of this submission, some more updates started flowing on the Scaleway side [1], but nothing solving the issue.

The are some workarounds (from Marco@ [2])

> moving workload out of scaleway to other datacenters and keeping all cloudflare CDN and features working perfectly (seems to be affecting exclusively scaleway/online.net)

> disabling all cloudflare features (DNS only) (some people can’t do it as cloudflare could be integral part of webapps flow and servings)

But applying those can't be done in all cases (i.e. disables Cloudflare WAF, CDN, etc.).

from the self-post dept.

For close to ~35 hours, Scaleway have this status update [1] with no meaningful change. Issues is some requests coming from Cloudflare to origins in the Scaleway PAR region, are either timing out (520s, or taking very long to finish. Outgoing traffic looks affected too.This affects even Scaleway own website/docs and control panel.We have opened a ticket, to which the answer was - we can't give...

Ask HN: Recommended services/teams doing pen testing

Posted by zhan_eg on Thursday November 10, 2022 @01:44PM
from the ask-hn dept.

For a product we have build, we want to go through a penetration test (not just an automatic vulnerability scan).Would like to get some kind of certificate for that as it may be needed in the future. I have went through (listed below) similar questions on HN, there are some options proposed, but as people change, maybe there will be something better this time.If someone wants to recommend in...

Tell HN: Mailgun has an unreported outage in EU

Posted by zhan_eg on Friday October 07, 2022 @05:27AM
from the self-post dept.

For the last 10 hours, the EU endpoint that Mailgun is providing is timing out - smtp.eu.mailgun.org [1]There is nothing mentioned on their status page [2] , nor it seems it is a local issue, as it is not accessible from anywhere [3].And their ticketing system doesn't let me file an issue in the right category for some reason.[1]...
