Is this how we find out that Truth Social was running even harder on hopes and dreams than 4chan was?

Lol. Lmao, even

The best hacking. Everyone knows it. Everyone says it.

I'm still at a loss for words thinking that any real human people joined truth social. We really failed as a species...

Equally upsetting. The site is truthsocial.com not truth.social

Someone should buy truth.social and make it redirect to something trump's base hates.

Mailing someone more letters than they're capable of replying to is not equivalent to, nor a component of, gaining access to the inside of their home.

I mean, I know JK Rowling sucks, and it's been a long time since the first Harry Potter movie came out, but it was definitely a component and precursor to Hagrid beating the shit out of that door.

To be fair, they had moved to an unsecure location that was a much softer target by that point. Can a DDOS force someone to move their services over to the equivalent of a century old, weather-beaten lighthouse in the middle of England?

Disabling network security and edge devices to change the properties of ingress can absolutely be a component of an attack plan.

Just like overwhelming a postal sorting center could prevent a parcel containing updated documentation from reaching the receiver needing that information.
