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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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

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.)

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.

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

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

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