All candidates are gonna have their problems, but from what I’ve learnt Newsom hates Republicans with a
passion and is completely ruthless, and after Kamala tried and failed to pander to them and still got her clock cleaned, maybe Democrats need to go full tilt and have their own Liberal strongman/psychopath; guy’s already setting things up to kneecap any effect Trump’s policies could have on California. Running him might end up completely blowing up in their faces, but pandering clearly isn’t the way forward and being Mr/Mrs nice guy ain’t working either.
Wonder if we’re getting something as part of a co-ordinated announcement today? Nos Alive seemed to be teasing an announcement last night so maybe it’s Olivia or someone announcing a few dates at once?
Or perhaps we can expect a small batch at 4pm (Belgium time)?
Yes I guess, and that's certainly one way of looking at it. But lots of tickets were also taken out of rotation by people who were able to game that too, with the back button glitch, allowing people to buy there entire spreadsheet's groups in a couple of minutes...
Again, bad news if you were someone doing this / able to do this, good news for everybody else.
Is that competitor Cloudflare?
This is pretty much what I was trying to describe, though in much much more detail. If you're detected as using a bot, you're probably not getting anywhere near a queue-it page, never mind the front of the queue, because bot detection and human verification for Akamai is done on the edge.
I use a very simple tunnel system from Cloudflare called Zero Trust to protect my servers. When the URLs to my servers are entered, you get nowhere near my physical hardware until you've cleared Cloudflare's security (as it's only me that needs to access them, that is an MFA approach of an emailed code first, with only my address whitelisted, so any other entered will not get a code at all, then once that's cleared, a password and HW key.) I could also enable Cloudflare's bot protection amongst many other things, but I don't feel I need it for my use case, so I only use Zero Trust access control.
Everything I've read about Akamai on their site is suggesting to me that it's a very similar system.
