Some minor dev announcements:
The GeoIP block has been reduced on the .moe domain. I've removed all the little Euronigger networks from it and also unblocked Germany there after verifying that absolutely none of our upstream stuff runs through their territory. Our hosts routinely tell Germany to suck deez nuts over GDPR demands, so they're not afraid of eurocucks so we'll see how it goes. For the moment Germanons are welcome back.
I think Chrome users are hitting the "Slow Down Asshole" throttle error a lot more than other users because of Chrome's obnoxiously aggressive pre-fetching routine. Basically every time you request one thing on the site, Chrome also fires off requests for every single thing nearby, or linked in, the thing you requested. Did you open a thread that had some post in it with a >>> crosslink? Well it requested that thread too, in the background, and also all of both threads thumbnails and js, etc. Firefox does this too but has its own rate limiter so as not to be rude about it, and this means it won't trip the throttle unless you're the one clicking all over. Chrome just fucking #yolo shotguns a million requests everywhere, which is pretty much the same thing as a DoS attack which is why the throttle trips. Mobile Chrome is even worse about this. There is no solution. Welcome to Die.
Actually if you see a lot of 429 errors just look up how to turn off pre-fetching in your browser.
