Your website should have a theme and Topic, Follow that, what graphics go with your theme and topic, if it's a personal website it should be about you or the person it covers, if it's geographic cover photos, activates that geographic, if a product website, add graphics/animation appropriate to the product. Deciding those should be the first thing.

Usually there is a person, that could probably be replaced with a old Fischer price recorder loaded with a pre-recorded sequence of bad idea(s), running such an outfit, but yeah there usually one person behind everything...

Doubt it's a single chargeback that did that, though it's probably what got there attention to your account. Probably something else (A bad infosec tool copy/modification to search for something like SS# patterns). Even from a security point of view I would see your email and add points for suspected fraud. What do you think and employer would think to if they saw an email like that (Minor drug reference @ omg.lol)? There is a lot of tools in infosec if they see it they would be against term of services (Some that you would not think of either)... Then further I would look for social media history too following, an incident on appeal (That's not just a recursive rejection) and see responses from you getting defensive as seen in the beginning of this thread. It's not professional behavior simply put.

Honestly, I feel this on a spiritual level — or, well, an infernal one.

My native language is PHP, which, as everyone knows, is the demonically fluent tongue of the Ninth Circle. Down there, variables appear from the void, arrays shift shape without warning, and error messages read like ancient curses. Beautiful stuff.

Recently I tried picking up Rust, which people kept hyping as some kind of angelic, higher-order language… but after using it, I’m convinced it’s just the void teaching itself self-esteem. Every compiler message sounds like: “I’m perfect. You’re the problem.”

So yeah — working in a non-native language is tough. But if I can survive switching between demon-speak and cosmic-void-whispering, you’ll be fine too.

I get rid of my bot attempts.. by doing this:

1. Make all port not respond (Stealth in the firewall), unless they are public like http..

2. Change the SSH port # (over 8192 also)..

3. Setup port knocking watchdog so they have to knock first in a specific order on three ports before being allow to connect to real port.

4. Setup fail2ban. Including if someone pings the knocking ports (in the incorrect order) or real ssh (Without knocking first) then after a couple of times, add their ip to fail2ban list for 48hours..

You get rid of 99.98% of the lookers instantly, by just doing step 2...

This assume you have control over the server, there are several script online that help you provision something like that with ansible.. (Most of them helper related to configuring fail2ban.

A type of yes man/fall man often destined for a jail sentence, when a company has or is going to commit something they know is not in a legal and actually likely to result in criminal investigation they hire this kind of person "Just before" the act. This person is also allowed to acknowledge things but not fix them, because reaching product shipment is more important. Their job description can be basically summed up by getting a chimpanzee to learn how to say yes, and find and fling feces everywhere, when there given the command to clean this mess up.

Test if humans can detect the difference between a bot/ai amongst a set of humans and the bot/ai (I don't even thing the bot has to be AI to take the test).. If more humans detect one of the humans as a bot and don't id the bot at all, it considered a good success. This is from my understanding of the test. I think there has been historically multiple inconsistent procedures.. That's really not what I worry about though what I worry about is the bots/AI that purposely fail to the test to hide their intelligence.

https://lobste.rs/about#invitations

Basically you get an invite from someone else there, you can still be in chats and read the news with out it... Which is good enough for me, so sorry can't send you an invite. So the easiest way would be to join a chat, make some friends then ask for invite, they have like a chain tree that also takes people invite quality into account, so the person that give you an invite need to trust you a bit.

My first thought is people in position that look pretty and actually don't contribute any meaningful work... (Marketing Exec, Management, recruiters, sometime customer retention specialist (The one that are not in a call center pool, for special accounts))..

It is simply the superior product, who wants the other locked-in, locked down, horrible designed, overpriced, product that basically has to bought each year while features are taken away from it and it's price seems to increase yearly in a logarithmic manner...

I wonder if any of them have the original source, or could even compile a list of all the "Business Rules" needed to create a new version of their software, with all the need one off. Even then the "It works" mentality might not allow the risk of missing a "One off business rule", if they don't have a copy of there original source anymore... I mean maybe there a still using copies of a compiled program, that they don't know what's fully in it.. </I-Hope_NOt>.. Imagine if the same is true for pharmacy, big chemical manufacturer, then imagine finding a decent cobol programmer now a days to help smooth the conversion.. </TooMuchImaginationHopefully></StuffOfNightmares>

It means you think your post are being made public but there not either being posted at all or only to your closest friends who have not submitted complaints about your account recently. For other purpose the website/app seems to work perfectly and does not mention you being flagged, sometimes it's hard to tell, and even include fake view counts, so your not suspicious.
