Why are you talking to me?

Because Twitter isn't talking to anyone.

Well, I can't fault your logic.

Why would anyone hurt that little blue bird?

perhaps the aliens find the little blue bird annoying.

In case you feel like editing your HOSTS file to connect to Github without waiting for this to be resolved:
192.30.253.113 github.com
151.101.32.133 assets-cdn.github.com

That makes me wonder if that odd thing I saw earlier with CP have to do with this DDoS?
Maybe I was routed through those IPs at that time or something or the cdn.codeproject.com is hosted out there where things were attacked?
I dunno, but interesting.
Isn't this Internet thing supposed be able to be hit by a nuke and survive? Like cockroaches, right?

Ah, a true githubber

Apparently OpenDNS was weathering the storm due to the caching technology they use, it would have been easier probably just to switch your router DNS settings to use OpenDNS addresses for a short term fix, rather than a site-by-site case specific fix in the host tables.
Maybe something to remember for next time...........because there will be a next time.

This [^] is why hardware companies should not try and do the software themselves.
Everyone's so keen to wire up their microwave and close their garage door while in the next state.
No one's bothering with a decent padlock.

Text messages always look better on my fridge's 3x2" display.

Right. Plus, those companies have defaulted to WiFi technologies which ends up connecting devices unnecessarily (in many cases) to the Internet. Why didn't they just use _local_ connections like bluetooth enabled type of devices instead?
Some might see my idea as limited, but I have no need to monitor my refrigerator from 50 miles away. I just don't.
And, I like the responsibility of having to know my thermostat is set before I leave the house. Just sayin'.

Most of the companies are blaming the password. Soon we will have iPasses, and still have the same problems, just with a big added bill.

A huge difference would be made by, for example, "You cannot use your fridge's IoT functions until you have changed the factory-set username and password" messages.
Yes, usernames and passwords are a PITA, but you can stick them to the fridge door with a fridge magnet -- let's see hackers get at that programmatically.
"We want to make installation easy for our customers" can only go so far.

You're not English, so I'll just say that you should google "English Sun tabloid", and not read very much about it (because it's not worth wasting your time on).

1. Wow. Someone found a piece of metal with markings on it in some mud. They then misidentified it twice, and then said that half of it had suddenly "turned to dust" from corrosion. Can we spell "bullsh1t", Children?
2. Funny how none of the dinosaur models look like actual dinosaurs, isn't it? Kinda puts paid to the idea that they're models of dinosaurs, though, doesn't it? It's Art, Man!
3. It's a hoax. Everyone knows it -- except the inhabitants of the village, who refuse to know it.
4. Um, yeah. The page itself admits that it's nothing.
5. It's a bird, for God's sake. Go whittle a few birds for yourself. I'll bet the first 10 will look like space shuttles, and the next 10 will look like what we'll be using instead of space shuttles in 50 years' time.
6. "When an analysis of the bore hole was conducted, it was determined that it had been made with modern day equipment".
When statements like that are made, you just call bullsh1t and walk away, because bullsh1t is what it is.
7. Another one that the page itself explains.
8. "The hairstyle and the beard match up closely with the style of Roman statue".
Seriously? So no-one in the entire country was allowed to carve anything different? They had to carve busts of their friends to look like every other carving? If anyone had a different haircut, they weren't allowed to carve it?
Sorry, but I see absolutely bugger-all to do with aliens. I'm not even going to bother visiting the other page.

I was raised and schooled in the UK so, pretty much, I am. I even have a British accent.

You should if you want a chuckle.
Besides, it's much easier to shout Aliens and the Paranormal than to seek out a proper explanation and much more fun.
