I did create an unintentional DDoS-kinda thing and Discourse returned a 429 after some time for “too many requests from this IP”. Turns it was a Firefox (on a bootable USB running Ubuntu) bug causing my page to refresh every 0.5 seconds.
Well it’s a bit better than ubuntu running on a full disk with 180gb worth of files in lost+found that I need to delete.
I’m in a kind of similar situation, Windows got corrupted and I need to wipe the whole disk.
Tried running Ubuntu on VMBox but had no luck.
