Hmm… odd. More a personal grudge kind of action IMO. A dos attack serves no purpose politically as far as I can see.
For the cyber-illiteratati such as myself:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denial-of-service_attack
A DoS attack can be perpetrated in a number of ways. The five basic types of attack are:
>>Consumption of computational resources, such as bandwidth, disk space, or processor time.
Vote:>>Disruption of configuration information, such as routing information.
>>Disruption of state information, such as unsolicited resetting of TCP sessions.
>>Disruption of physical network components.
>>Obstructing the communication media between the intended users and the victim so that they can no longer communicate adequately.

New thread….
Last night there were two polls – TV one and TV 3. This morning NZ Herald published.
Vote:The results are Nats up, Labour up (whisker), Act up, Maori up, Peters down and up (to 4.9).
The Herald poll has always given Peters more than any other. The TV 3 poll last evening showed him down. Given slightly different timing (a day or so) and slightly different numbers (Herald is smallest at 700 odd) it is the average that is important, though one cannot disregard trends.
What these seem to show is that tea pot is giving Peters some life but not damaging Nats

The mobile version of the site was still available, I’d guess that front end is hosted on Mobify’s servers? Comments weren’t available even through mobile, I guess they’re all hosted on the main server and the mobile front end pulls them from there. The main site is hosted by Inspire? If so then I’m guessing they had disruption for other customers as well – so whoever DOS attacked Kiwiblog also probably disrupted service for many others as well.

Whilst I’m sure that DPF has his finger on the pulse and knows the cause for the outage, perhaps there was another reason???
Maybe the spit and crap from someone who spouts relentlessly has finally dribbled onto the keyboard/ short circuited a processor in the laptop and the resulting power spike has shot down the internet connection to totally bugger the server. But for that to occur, someone would have to average ~28 comments per day (or ~850 per month)!
Nah… Surely not?

We get quite significant spikes on odd occasions at the standard – usually spambots or spiders gone wrong. Mostly they get caught in the iptables rules and cause no significant issues. Unfortunately those rules have to be quite loose because of the google bots and other spiders – which look a lot like a DOS sometimes. A process checks the logs and highlights anything that I might need to look at. I usually just cut off whole IP ranges from talking to parts of the system.
We haven’t had any issues in the last week apart from traffic increases. I cut off relations with Nepal four weeks ago (distributed spam comments). Some sections of rackspace in the UK two weeks ago. And some local IP who was repeatably trying to read the entire site too damn fast last week.
DDOS attacks are what I tend to worry about. That one from Nepal was doing some nasty things to the loading on the US server.
I see that the overlapping Localist Ad problem is here as well. I just disabled our sections where it was displaying because it was destroying layout

RN: Only if you define a lefty gang as “people that I disagree with”. I think that Tev has managed to argue with almost everyone in comments at one time of another from several different angles. Including me and all the moderators. The long and turgid discussions on tensile strengths under heat still haunt my moderation dreams. Just as the word “retrospective” does whenever I see the name “burt”. Moderators have to read a lot of material of dubious interest to them.
But I do find many of the right commentators to be most notable for their distinctive flocking behaviors and inability to think outside of their narrow frames of thought bequeathed by their families (they even baa together when I get a mob through if one of their leaders is in trouble). So I suspect that a lefty is a person you disagree with is probably exactly the definition that you really use.

Anyway, Labour won’t be getting my vote for two main reasons – a return to more powerful unionism will not help NZ, and they are riddled with senior MP’s that I find nasty and vitriolic. They seem to think they are born to rule and NZ made a big mistake not voting for them. You’d think they’d wise up and change their attitude, but no sign of that happening.

Vote:November 18th, 2011 at 5:03 pm
RightNow,
I appreciate your candour and this attempt at a halfway decent conversation. So I’ll honour that with some info about where I come from.
I arrived in this beautiful country only six years ago with my Kiwi husband of 25 years. I don’t have a history with either National or Labour and if I could vote would cast my vote for neither.
I was given the opportunity to study international finance and the main politicians of this country and what I found out about John Key worried me greatly and all I do is share that info you can take it and do with it what you want but I think this is info every Kiwi has to read before making a choice. That’s all.
I think most National voters are decent hard working people and so are most other folk in this country but I think that most of them are woefully under informed by a mainstream media which whether you think of yourself as right or left does not give people the information they need to make informed decisions.

It really comes down to this: who do I think will do the least long term damage to NZ? National have taken a very middle of the road approach (you’ll see them often referred to as Labour Lite) and have (in my opinion) done a reasonable job of handling a global economic downturn and the CHCH earthquakes.
Vote:I don’t see any great talent in Labour that could do any better. The Greens are idealists with no practical experience and no sign of the discipline/expertise required to manage a national economy.
I don’t necessarily like John Key, and I don’t necessarily trust him, but I don’t believe he wants anyone to be worse off. It doesn’t matter what he said in 1995, it doesn’t matter what he said over the cup of tea. It doesn’t matter that he said he wouldn’t raise GST – he also decided to cancel a tranche of tax cuts due to the economic situation, and I think he was right to do that.
November 18th, 2011 at 5:38 pm
Anyway, I had a look at your link. As I understand it you’re blaming John Key’s position with Merrill Lynch in 1997 for the subprime crisis. Hmm, do you also think Bush engineered 9/11?
Me, I blame the US Democrats for starting the sub-prime catastrophe, first by legislating loans for bad risks (because poor people will be empowered by having big mortgages) and then by blocking regulation of Fanny and Freddie. Certainly the banks capitalised on this situation, and they’re every bit the vultures they’re said to be. There should have been no bailout of the banks (and our finance company guarantee in NZ shouldn’t have had to cover the interest on top of the deposits, but that’s a side issue) – a free market approach would have let them fail – but in the US the government (Republican or Democrat) is loathe to let the status quo fail.

In real life you never quite made it did ya? you work for people that you think arent as smart as you. lifes tough. so, you have an online presence. you start out here as a patronising fuck, but most of us let it slide. then you start to get even more high and mighty and people start to give you a bit of stick. this incenses you as your cyber life is starting to reflect your real life. unfortunately you dont have the social tools to say “yea sorry guys, just being a dick.. but heres what i think etc”. oh no, you think the solution is to become even more of a douche bag and then start getting upset. now, youre forever known as a weak as piss, socially inept bitch boy on kiwiblog and your cyber life is just like your real life. and ya know what makes it cool? i know for a fact that you work for a dude just like me
hell, ive had employees just like you. i bet it just grates you. hell, i bet youre the sort of guy that strippers are scared of.
in summary, you have half a brain, but no social skills. youre a loser.

For all you KB chaps and chapess’s wot appreciate a bit of real kulture and with regard to the latest polls I have penned the following little ditty entitled. “The Running on EmEmPee” song.
In view of CER to be sung to the tune of “Waltzing Matilda”.
Once a jolly PM camped in the Beehive
Under the veil of personality
And he sang as he watched and waited while poor Goofy failed
You’ll never beat one as wonderful as me.
One such as me, One such as me
You’ll never beat one as electable as me
And he sang as he watched and waited while poor Goofy failed
You’ll never beat one as rich as me.
Down came a Banksy to drink from the people’s trough
Up jumped the PM to take him for tea
And he sang as watched and waited while poor Goofy failed
You’ll never get more votes than me
One such as me, One such as me
You’ll never equal one such as me
And he sang as he watched and waited while poor Goofy failed
You’ll never ever get the numbers on me
Up rode old Dunne mounted on Ohariu
Up rode his barbers one, two, three.
What will you give me to keep my majority?
Then I’ll come a dancing PM with thee.
Dancing with me, dancing with me
They’ll all come a dancing with nice Johnny Key
And he sang as he watched and waited till poor Goofy failed
Lets all go a dancing with nice Johnny Key
Up jumped the Maoris after a freebee
What will you give us Hone Key?
I’ll give you the foreshore and the seabed
If you’ll all come a dancing along with me
Dancing with Hone, dancing with Hone
Who’ll come a dancing with nice Hone Key
And he sang as he watched and waited while poor Goofy failed
Never more you’ll get the Maoris off of me!
And the ghost of poor Rod may be heard from the Beehive
Why don’t you Greenies go waltzing with Key?
You will get much more progress on your itinerary
If you all go a waltzing with nice Greenie Key
Waltzing with Hone Key, waltzing with Greenie Key
Who’ll go a waltzing with Johnny Key this year
The election it is in the bag. We remember the dreadful Hag
Johnny Key will waltz the election this year
A wizened little brown man said I really hate to dance
To anybody’s music, other than mine
If I get enough percentage of the stupid peoples vote
The melody you’ll dance to will be a tune of mine
Waltzing with Winston waltzing with Winston
Vote:We’ll all go a waltzing with Winston again
And the death of MMP will be read out on election night
If we all go a waltzing with Winston again

RN,
Here is as promised my answer. First let me start by saying that I agree totally with you and that it was under Clinton that the Glass Steagall act was repealed and that this enabled investment banks and commercial banks to merge opening the door to the disaster we are facing now. In fact Clinton himself talks about this in this link: http://publiccreditorbust.blog.com/2011/11/18/former-us-president-bill-clinton-information-confirms-john-key-new-zealand-prime-minister-played-a-large-part-in-the-global-financial-crisis/
This was the result however of some $200 lobbying and was the event all the bankers were waiting for in order to be able to start the looting in earnest. The law was de facto repealed in 1997 and de jura in 1998.
Here is the full history: over the last thirty years or so of what happened in the banking world: http://www.engdahl.oilgeopolitics.net/Financial_Tsunami/financial_tsunami.html
What I am saying is that John Key lied about his involvement with what to this date is the biggest attack on a single currency with Andrew Krieger, about his involvement with the collapse of the Thai bath and the LTCM hedgefund after the collapse of which he had to fire most of his colleagues earning him the nickname of the Smiling Assassin and how he is still Lying about transrail shares, meeting with bigwigs and other assorted secrecy issues. That is a pattern I don’t like in a PM.
At the moment in Europe in rapid succession entire countries are being taken over by unelected bankers. They who have caused all the problems are now supposed to sort the problems out mush to the disgust of their peoples. Here we vote our one in.
I don’t know who perpetrated 911 but I do know that not even 19 angry young Arab men with box cutters can break the laws of Physics. Did you know that a third building collapsed on 911? Not hit by planes but through simple office fires?

Elycee,
I have no affiliation with Iain other than that his info is corroborated by my research. I do not get paid or endorsed by any political party and have no affiliation with anyone other then myself and my research. I have no sympathy for labour or National and your aggression is unjustified and tedious and does not add to an adult exchange of information.
Vote:November 19th, 2011 at 10:10 am
Niggly,
A Troll is someone who adds nothing to any discussion and whose only response to any real discussion is to tell people to Fuck off. That seems to be what you are doing. I have to give it to Farrar that although I do not share his opinions gives free speech its due so if it is all the same to you I will stay here and if you are prepared to engage in a healthy exchange of ideas I’ll engage other wise I’ll just ignore your silly tantrums. Have a nice day!

“A Troll is someone who adds nothing to any discussion and whose only response to any real discussion is to tell people to Fuck off.”
In “Internet parlance”, a troll is usually considered someone who comes onto a forum and makes deliberately inflammatory or contrary comments designed to get a strong reaction from others.

travellerev – as soon as you stop plagiarising unsubstantiated conspiracy material from a Labour source and claiming it as ‘fact’, I’ll stop pointing it out as crap.
Easy. Ball is in your court.

Jesus, You’re dim,
I have only found his blog two days ago through one of my facebook friends and contacted him and asked permission to link to his stuff and to give him permission to link to my stuff.
You will see that I have had this blog four five years or so and that I have done my own research for many, many years.
If it’s OK with you I have I think explained myself enough and will consider this exchange with you finished. If on the other hand you would attempt to exchange about the facts in the many other links I have given above I will consider engaging with you again. Have a nice day.

I apologise for diverting the thread as it is not my habit to hijack threads and I had planned to engage in the thread concerning the tape issue as it would have fitted there better and it was only after the blog had gone off line that I noticed I had planted my links on the wrong thread. Anyway some gentlemen were happy to engage so I didn’t pay it no mind. Also I think if it had upset the moderator he would have pointed the error of my ways out. Wouldn’t you think so? To be honest I think your dissing me is really just another type of trolling. Have a nice day!!
