So the Linode<\/a> DDoS attack – seems like this xmas has been a terrible time for sys admins, along with what happened to Steam<\/a> and A Small Orange (100+ hours down<\/a>).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A whole lot of work during the most drunken holiday of the year, not fun. And yes it affected me too, work wise everything is hosted on Linode<\/a> – and this site is also hosted on Linode. So I got spammed with SMS alerts from Dec 26th – Dec 28th (thankfully not on xmas day itself). The above image is actually my own screenshot I sent to the team to update everyone on the situation on boxing day.<\/p>\n
