MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net · 92 pts · 256d (3 replies)

Torrents are for illegal stuff.

...oh, wait

My 800TB of uploads for “Linux isos” beg to differ

holy shit your ratio must be insane

Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de · 1 pts · 235d

Funny thing is, i specifically have the client limited to 100kb/s, it's amazing what you can get by just letting it run in the background at all times.

I'm looking through those and holy shit these images look like they're taken straight out of a horror game

taiyang@lemmy.world · 47 pts · 255d (2 replies)

Looks like investigative photos cast a very creepy "using a high powered flashlight to investigate a crime scene" vibe. Horror games with flashlights kinda got the vibe right, it seems.

merc@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 255d

Yeah, I think it's all in the lighting. For a crime scene, you probably just want to get really bright light on everything the camera sees. That ends up making the shadows seem very harsh, and every other light source weak. There's probably some primal fear that if your eyes are adjusted to the light, you're vulnerable to creatures who are hiding in the shadows with their eyes adjusted to the dark.

Dasus@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 255d

Looks like a place that would be bitch to loot in Cyberpunk. (There's no flashlight and it can be quite dark.)

The Gorilla Head in the Toilet is pretty fucken weird/creepy too

Stamau123@lemmy.world · 16 pts · 256d

Who the fuck was the interior decorator? A murder clown?

iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works · 18 pts · 256d (3 replies)

What? Those are some pretty benign photos. Even the painting is hard to judge without knowing anything about who the other person is.

Lumelore@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 49 pts · 256d (2 replies)

I don't think she is referring to what the pictures are of, but rather that the ambiance of the pictures invoke horror. Like the harsh lighting and camera angles make it seem like it could be from a horror game or movie. While they are just pictures of a house, they still feel strange.

starkzarn@infosec.pub · 21 pts · 256d (1 reply)

Sort of liminal space vibes

Lumelore@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 7 pts · 256d

Basically yeah

gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works · 29 pts · 255d (5 replies)

For example:

🤔

birdwing@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 10 pts · 255d

Then consider the files not released yet. Where are the data of the offenders?

VeganCheesecake@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 8 pts · 255d (3 replies)

Some of the redactions elsewhere seem insensible, but I feel like Masseuses might be victims too, and that just seems like a list of names?

gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 252d (1 reply)

One of them is basically guaranteed to be Virginia Giuffre. The fact that she does not even appear is an implicit broadcast that the DoJ is not being impartial on this, and is overtly biasing their handling at a very, very official level.

For those that had any semblance of doubt at this point, I mean, obviously.

VeganCheesecake@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 252d

That's possible. And yes, I think there's no doubt pretty much all parts of the administration are as far from impartial as they can get.

Dasus@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 255d

It's a euphemism for "underage prostitutes". (Not that it makes them any less victims.)

In the flight logs of 1993 Donald Trump is mentioned twice.

Krauerking@lemy.lol · 10 pts · 255d

Yeah this has felt redacted

If I download this am I on a list

There are worse ways to get an FBI buddy.

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 255d (4 replies)

I got one by losing internal organs and in the process somehow pissing off a priest who was connected to a senator and decided to take a little petty vengeance.

regdog@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 255d (3 replies)

I hate it when that happens

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 255d (2 replies)

right? you'd have thought i'd have learned my lesson the first time, but then i pissed off the son of a senator connected to a priest and got a second fbi guy. we should really go to lunch sometime and compare notes on each other.

Aeao@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 255d (1 reply)

If you had a nickel for everytime… you’d have ten cents which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it happened twice

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 254d

Yeah. I like to think I'm special that I've got two fbi guys, but let's be honest I'm probably just aware of two, we've all got at least a team (of LLMs, hereafter LLaMas because those dipshits can't name anything for beancornen

I should download it because I know I am on at least a few lists.

I'm curious; are you guys seeing this currently?

I've viewed this link half a dozen times in the last two hours and never once saw the rate limiting page, from Canada. I wonder if it's regional.

kamenlady@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 256d

Same from Germany, no waiting line.

Honestly, I'll commend them on good website design. Back when Obamacare first launched, government web sites were especially bad at handling high load. A website that knows it is under high load and knows how to queue requests to keep working is actually admirable, especially for the government. I guess DOGE didn't fully fuck over DOJ.

Social security website is inaccessible after like 6pm EST. They shutdown websites overnight. Wts is that about.

Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de · 1 pts · 235d

punishing working people

unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de · 1 pts · 256d (15 replies)

Wait pages like this are nonsense. If the server has capacity to show you this it could just show you the content you are looking for. Its obvious artificial rate limiting.

baguettefish@discuss.tchncs.de · 73 pts · 256d (3 replies)

not really; that page is much simpler to process and upload than an entire pedophile archive

sharing anything over the internet takes resources, in this case a lot of them, and with government infrastructure they're sometimes far behind the modern day trends on purpose, for stability/reliability reasons.

coffee_tacos@mander.xyz · 26 pts · 256d (1 reply)

There is also usually a load balancer in front of the actual application servers, so the page is probably being served by that instead

user224@lemmy.sdf.org · 3 pts · 256d

VPS with reverse proxy in front of a Raspberry Pi type shit.

Cloaca@mtgzone.com · 24 pts · 256d

Also caching is a factor here. Search results in particular can be a nightmare since variations in spelling or query string parameters having a difference of a single character makes it different than what others previously searched.

Krauerking@lemy.lol · 18 pts · 256d

The other interesting thing is you only have 10 minutes when you get in to grab your stuff and go

grte@lemmy.ca · 16 pts · 256d (3 replies)

Interestingly, if someone links you to one of the files directly, there is no wait or redirect to the wait page.

unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de · 13 pts · 256d (2 replies)

Which means they have no actual issue with content delivery, else they would limit that too.

TragicNotCute@lemmy.world · 18 pts · 256d (1 reply)

I think you might be overlooking human error in configuration.

Rhaedas@fedia.io · 23 pts · 256d

On a government site? Inconceivable.

Forester@pawb.social · 15 pts · 256d

Not nessissarially true, very likely the wait page is rendered from cached memory and does not require a ssd read to print whereas any actual files would. It is true that the web server does have to have capacity to show you this, but I'm pretty sure the limitation will be on the SSD side. (Read and write operations). Source 5 years webserver admin.

You clearly have never worked on tech at real scale.

Dasus@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 255d (2 replies)

"On tech"? This is bureaucracy, not technology.

What is a load balancer?

Dasus@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 251d

What does "purposefully slow" mean?

piccolo@sh.itjust.works · 10 pts · 255d

The servers that serve the content are very often different servers from serving the web site.
