All authority sites. All producing original content.

In the name of ‘democracy’, ‘free speech’ and ‘human rights’.

Toni Morrison proclaimed that hate speech was equivalent to physical assault in seriousness back in 1993.

That’s a fairly controversial viewpoint. Against the person, it could be argued as true, but against the state?

Is hate against the state, hate?

Google has been working with the ADL to ‘remove hate-speech’ websites from the web. The only problem is, they’re removing sites which are publishing facts that the MSM don’t want to deal with. …

Russian hackers target Google and Reddit

With browser hacks sending thousands of Russian visitors to UK and US sites.

Take a look at this screen shot of my analytics dashboard for December

This is a display of the ‘Location’ statistics for December for this site provided from Google analytics.

Country codes

As you can see result number 2 is clearly a hack.

It reads – Secret.ɢoogle.com You are invited! Enter only with this ticket URL. Copy it. Vote for Trump!

This is not a country code. It appeared in November in the run-up to the elections. …

Google attacked my website! – Google Cloud Services DoS attack

March 20, 2015 Michael Tyler Comments 1 comment

And it wasn’t the first time.

The second day in a row, michaeltyler.co.uk has been hit by a Denial of Service attack eminating from ‘Google Cloud Services‘.

Each time, in the early hours of the morning, I’m visited by the ‘Google Cloud Service‘ bot, which subsequently visits ever page on my site in quick succession.

It’s called an

Asymmetric attack

(In this this type of attack, Application Layer receives high-workload requests that consume server resources such as RAM.)

This places an unnaturally high demand on the servers CPU, slowing the server down, and if left, possibly blowing it up. To stop this happening, when the CPU gets warm, it automatically designates the source and shuts it down, putting the offending site on error.

Each time, I’ve been able to trace the source of the problem to Google Cloud Services.

Google Cloud Services caching sites for their owners, but it’s closing my site down, maliciously!

Tracking code

Usually when you sign on to some sort of BOT activity on your site, you’re asked to put a verification code on there, to confirm that it’s actually you requesting the traffic, not some rogue element wishing to take your website down.

You as the owner, actively sign-on to have your site crawled. …

Youtube HaCk3d

Surprise.

Went to go on youtube this afternoon, check for outlandish videos to pass the time. The site had been hacked.

(It’s nice to know they are running Plesk, which is what they use on my web server).

Muslimist

No doubt, my first thoughts turn to the Muslimists and the media furor surrounding their little movement.

Also, Kim Jong Un, who’s always in an angry state.

Maybe someone hit the wrong button. But it’s strange, the ‘favicon’ is still showing in the top right corner of the tab.

Mainstream

It’s only 6 o’clock in the morning here, (as you can see from the clock at the bottom right hand side of the screen), whether the mainstream will report on this remains to be seen.

Whatever the case, I can’t get on the site and have to find something else to entertain my sick mentality.

China Mobile data usage limits

July 29, 2013 Michael Tyler Comments 1 comment

So.

Have this smartphone –

Have been trying different packages, having visited the store and bought the one recommended at point of sale.
On discussing this with someone that spoke English, the package had far to many talk minutes of which I used about 2 within the first month.

It also had too much bandwidth.

I swopped it down to a lower package with 400mb and some free text messages and no free minutes for calls etc.

There’s no way of telling what exactly what you’re going to get, unless your mandarin is good, or you’ve got someone you trust, (with a lot of patience), along with you.

Samsung data usage — Samsung Data usage screen

As a guideline, you shouldn’t be paying more than 108RMB. And the package you need will probably be like mine with some free texts and bandwidth for around 68RMB.

Shop around though. It’s probably better to go to a shop which isn’t the one that you buy your phone from. China Netcom have 3G if you want to get the better connectivity involved in that.

Otherwise, China mobile, visit one of their main shops. They’ll have the full range of packages.

Hence no posts today, cos my phone has been out of sorts today. 🙁 awww.
