Another 250,000 requests to the LVFS at 4AM this morning, ~27 parallel "security scans" from the same IP with routes containing phpMyAdmin, servicedesk, tomcat, wp-content, cgi-bin etc.

I've reported it to #GCP, and if I again get no response from them I'll just block the entire AS396982 range which is hilariously 21M domains and 14M IPv4 addresses.

The problem with #unplugtrump is, it is impossible to fully live without. A lot of websites are hosted by #cloudflare or #AWS or #azure or #GCP.
I can buy from somewhere else, I can use another email service (but is this hosted on an European server?), but just surfing the internet, even only German sites, is mostly using big tech. Daimler, Bahn, Allianz and many others have migrated their IT to one of the top three cloud providers.
