The video begins with two men in a dimly lit room, one in a beige trench coat and the other in a light blue suit, engaged in a tense conversation. The man in the trench coat appears distressed, while the man in the suit leans forward, suggesting a confrontational interaction. The scene transitions to the man in the suit walking away down a corridor lined with shelves, indicating a shift in focus or a change in the situation. The corridor is dimly lit, with a green exit sign visible in the distance, adding to the somber atmosphere.
As the man in the suit continues down the corridor, the man in the trench coat follows, maintaining the tension. The corridor is flanked by shelves filled with files, emphasizing the institutional setting. The man in the suit reaches a door at the end of the corridor, opens it, and steps through, leaving the man in the trench coat behind. The scene then shifts to a different room where the man in the trench coat is on the floor, seemingly in distress, while another man in a dark suit kneels beside him, possibly offering assistance. A woman in a light-colored dress and another man in a light blue suit enter the room, observing the situation. The video concludes with the group standing around the man on the floor, suggesting a moment of concern or intervention.

Grief hangs heavy over Gaza as the death toll continues to rise and devastation mounts.
In just 24 hours, 39 Palestinians were killed and 317 more were injured.
One of the martyrs was retrieved from beneath the rubble, just one among many still trapped under collapsed buildings and scattered in the streets, unreachable by overwhelmed ambulance and civil defense crews due to the ongoing shelling.

Question: if not only ActivityPub, but also the other ones like dispora are part of the Fediverse, because Friendica supports the Proto and therefore drags it into the fedi, shouldn't BlueSky also be a part of the Fediverse with wafrn combining the two?
Or are the specific requirements for a Proto to become part of the Fedi, like for example being PUSH based?

Cloudflare mitiga un attacco da 7,3 terabit al secondo. Immagina 9350 film in HD scaricati in 45 secondi
A metà maggio 2025, Cloudflare ha bloccato il più grande attacco DDoS mai registrato: ben 7,3 terabit al secondo (Tbps). Questo evento segue di poco la pubblicazione del report sulle minacce DDoS per il primo trimestre del 2025 avvenuta il 27 aprile 2025, in cui era stato evidenziato attacchi che raggiungevano i 6,5 Tbps e 4,8 miliardi di pacchetti al secondo (pps).
37,4 terabyte non sono una cifra sbalorditiva per le dimensioni odierne, ma scaricarne 37,4 terabyte in soli 45 secondi lo è.
Equivale a inondare la rete con oltre 9.350 film in HD o a guardare in streaming 7.480 ore di video ad alta definizione senza interruzioni (quasi un anno di maratona di visione di serie TV consecutive) in soli 45 secondi.
Se si trattasse di musica, scaricheresti circa 9,35 milioni di brani in meno di un minuto, abbastanza per tenere impegnato un ascoltatore per 57 anni di fila. Immagina di scattare 12,5 milioni di foto ad alta risoluzione con il tuo smartphone senza mai esaurire lo spazio di archiviazione: anche se ne scattassi una al giorno, staresti lì a cliccare per 4.000 anni, ma in 45 secondi.
L’attacco ha preso di mira un cliente di Cloudflare, un provider di hosting, che utilizza Magic Transit per difendere la propria rete IP. I provider di hosting e le infrastrutture Internet critiche sono sempre più spesso bersaglio di attacchi DDoS, come riportato nell’ultimo rapporto sulle minacce DDoS
L’immagine sottostante mostra una campagna di attacchi condotta tra gennaio e febbraio 2025, che ha sferrato oltre 13,5 milioni di attacchi DDoS contro l’infrastruttura di Cloudflare e i provider di hosting protetti da Cloudflare.
L’attacco ha colpito a tappeto una media di 21.925 porte di destinazione di un singolo indirizzo IP, con un picco di 34.517 porte di destinazione al secondo. L’attacco ha avuto origine anche da una distribuzione simile di porte sorgente.
L’attacco da 7,3 Tbps è stato un attacco DDoS multivettore. Circa il 99,996% del traffico dell’attacco è stato classificato come flood UDP. Tuttavia, il restante 0,004%, pari a 1,3 GB del traffico dell’attacco, è stato identificato come attacchi di riflessione QOTD, attacco di riflessione Echo, attacco di riflessione NTP, attacco di flood UDP Mirai, flood Portmap e attacchi di amplificazione RIP

Reminder:
In an autocratic regime, the absolute worst thing you can do to them isn't to fight them but to humiliate them. Autocratic regimes are only afraid of people fighting them if they think they'll lose and, by and large, they rarely think they'll lose.
But they know they can always be humiliated.
