I feel like | this would be the first thing that would kill the site, if it | weren't for the fact you're on HTTP, the browser is talking | HTTP/1.1, so it only does 6 concurrent requests per domain. | clayloam wrote: | I wanted to see if the server could handle being slammed with | requests like that :) but yeah collapsing it into one request | would be a lot better. I'll probably do that soon | jart wrote: | In case anyone's wondering, I wrote the web server clayloam | is using. It's called redbean. It started off as just my | own hobby project last year, here on Hacker News, but it | grew into something more and lots of people loved it enough | to help. So it's very exciting to see it being used in | production to handle hundreds of http messages per second. | https://redbean.dev | jart wrote: | If you want to monitor how well the server holds up to the | hug of death, check out its http://ipv4.games/statusz page. | For example, you could poll that and calculate (or chart) how | many messages per second it's handling. | cmeacham98 wrote: | Cool idea, but please get an HTTPS cert - they're free! | clayloam wrote: | I was planning on getting that set up, but people discovered it | faster than anticipated :) I'll do it soon | zamadatix wrote: | https://youtu.be/bT8CRi9k4bo | playingalong wrote: | So some of them are public cloud, e.g. 3/8.

Other option is to use some open proxy servers. | | What other options do people have? | chrismarlow9 wrote: | Looks like you can direct link to claim | | http://ipv4.games/claim?name=whatever | | I expect you could do an img tag or iframe, buy cheap ad | traffic, and win. Tor is an option but last time I looked the | exit node count is in the thousands. You could probably use any | feed submitter or preview functions (Google docs insert URL, | Facebook insert URL, etc). | playingalong wrote: | Crowdsourcing - i.e. phishing-like posting of the URL in some | social media? | PaoloBarbolini wrote: | This is harder than i thought | PaoloBarbolini wrote: | Tonight I discovered I could create 128 m2.micros from my AWS | account no questions asked. Very very worrying. Much happier with | Hetzner with an initial limit of 25. ___________________________________________________________________ (page generated 2022-09-10 23:00 UTC)
