As part of the devs farewell message on their site, they have included malicious code to make each visitor sends 2,000 requests to the dbzer0 servers in an attempt to DDOS and take the instance offline.
dubvee.org is down
Gotta say, I’ve enjoyed this whole drama. This seems like the end of the story arc. It’s been fun guys. Better than beans.
Agreed. I usually don’t care about online drama at all, but at least this has been… amusing.
The memes have been fresh!
You deserve more credit. Thanks for bringing it to everyone’s attention!
Yeah, also this makes me really happy that we’re on the fediverse. Turns out some part of the system is run by a strange control freak? Swiftly replace the part and everyone moves along.
Well said.
I dunno, this opens the author up to a lot of consequences other people might choose to pursue.
What a loser. Tiny whiny loser.
Fabulous reaction time from db0 & team!
So who is this loser, I mean it’s a tiny whiny bit illegal what he did it seems…
What a sad individual.
I mean it, I’m not being sarcastic. I genuinely feel sorry for them. The fact they feel they had to do this, probably knowing they’d get caught.
It’s a classic cry for help. This dev is not in a good place. Perhaps they have found themselves isolated.
Of course that often happens when you act like a tiny dicked loser.
why body shame
I’d gather that he is a massive control freak. Hard to feel sorry for him right now really but I agree it must be a sad life.
Wow lmao. This is crazy levels of petty
What the actual fuck? This idiot may have his braindead opinions and do to his OSS project whatever he wants (so sag I wasn’t on the list), but that is just such a fucked up thing to do.
This whole thing reminds me of the guy (Angled/LMAO) 3 years ago that was all butthurt after he got busted trying to take all the good sublemmy names, and responded by posting a bunch of disgusting stuff with alts and DOSing lemmy.world.
Idk what this tesseract is and at this point I’m too afraid to ask
Thanks mate
I wonder if you could actually track him down and prosecute him for it…
The domain seems to be registered to SquareSpace so his details are hidden from public view but there is a SquareSpace abuse email and US phone number.
I suspect in the first instance if db0 complained to them the site would be shutdown and SquareSpace would then have to comply with any legal action.
INAL but I strongly suspect that the DDOS would constitute a crime in the US where the domain is registered.
Yup. Anyone knowingly assisting would also be implicated. Afaik, the precedent was set about 20 years ago with the whole LOIC/anonymous ddos.
Nah he’s hosted on inmotion. I already bipped 'em
The domain is registered to SquareSpace: https://who.is/whois/dubvee.org
The IP associated with the domain points to Inmotion: https://who.is/whois-ip/ip-address/107.161.30.39
Looks like both are true, hopefully Inmotion will take appropriate action based on your report. Worthwhile reporting to SquareSpace too so he can’t just rehost an attack elsewhere.
Registrar and hosting are different things.
Registrar is who you bought and manage the domain name you use on your site through. Hosting is where it lives.
Most domain name registrars do not give a single shit what you do with a domain name, unless they’re somehow on the hook. Hosting on the other hand…
I understand how it works.
All I’m saying is the registrar should also be notified otherwise the site can be moved to another hosting platform.
If the registrar can be convinced to take action, at least the domain can’t be used for future attacks.
“Tesseract dev found to have world’s smallest and most rancid penis.”
Im sure some shitlibs will still defend this
