For those wanting to know more about the recent DDoS attacks, yes, it looks like it was the Russian government trying to shut down the dissidents again.

As I said last time, while it's frustrating not to have access, LJ is a lot more than a social network platform. From the article:

"LiveJournal isn’t just a social network. It’s also a platform for organizing civic action. Dozens of network projects and groups mobilize people to solve specific problems — from defending the rights of political prisoners to saving endangered historic architecture in Moscow."

So while I know many are considering the move over to Dreamwidth and other such sites, supporting LJ is a way we can help support those who use it for more than a writing/roleplaying/social venue.


Also, as a FYI, LJ is giving paid users effected by the outage two weeks of paid time as compensation.

c'est pas une nouveauté. depuis 2005, 95% des attaques DDoS viennent de Russie et sont téléguidées par le gouvernement russe. qui est une dictature même si nos dirigeants ne veulent pas le reconnaitre.

quant à bouger sur DW, apparemment c'est pas une très bonne idée car leur service client est déplorable (selon plusieurs users ici et là bas).

et malheureusement contre des attaques DDoS, on ne peut rien faire. sauf avoir des serveurs de la taille de ceux de Google ^^;

J'ai pas l'intention de bouger, DW sert juste de back up. Au cas où!
