Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Nice big old port scan. Brand new server too. Just a few days old so there is nothing to find. Don't worry I contacted AWS. Stay safe out there.

Meh. I know everyone is giving OP the piss, but I used to fret about this type of stuff long time ago. LOL That became a job. Then I learned a little more and realized I wasn't being targeted specifically by some hooded specter in a dimly lit basement emphatically announcing 'I'm in!', but that these were bots. Sophisticated bots tho, I'll give them that.

My general attitude is similar to yours. Let OP figure out that the reporting and blocking is basically just creating more noise that has to gets filtered out and bot supply is basically infinite.

"It's a learning experience."

Yeah with Amazon's sheer size this has definitely been done before, curious what limits op is going to hit. My guess is they have a quota for submissions, and they'll be banned from submitting tickets.
