I am not European, so I am jealous you have #GDPR. #EU, don't screw that up by diluting such strong laws. Stand by it and stand up for it.

New, from me: Cloudflare Scrubs Aisuru Botnet from Top Domains List

For the past week, domains associated with the massive Aisuru botnet have repeatedly usurped Amazon, Apple, Google and Microsoft in Cloudflare’s public ranking of the most frequently requested websites. Cloudflare responded by redacting Aisuru domain names from their top websites list. The chief executive at Cloudflare says Aisuru’s overlords are using the botnet to boost their malicious domain rankings, while simultaneously attacking the company’s domain name system (DNS) service.

Mastodon is living proof you can be funny/snarky/clever without doing it at anyone's expense.

You can even have rational conversations with people who have a different opinion than you do. What total madness.
