My computer is under attack…
I don’t know exactly why, but my computer is currently under attack.
And my internet got ‘turned off’ this morning for reasons that are not at all clear how that happened, and I don’t know how long it’s going to take to figure all this stuff out.
Just so you know, if nothing is going up here at the moment.
God knows what He’s doing.
Apparently, there are a lot of ‘badddd people in Brussels who don’t like what I’m writing.
Or something.
it wasn’t just you, some other sites were also down. cloudflare had issues with what i assumed was a ddos, maybe a botnet. we have had a cyber war with russia, and a NATO general tried to calm things down regarding remote attacks on critical infrastructure. people froze in ukrainian cities, now russian energy is in trouble.
not sure what in this is appropriate, if any.
i’ve seen and heard things that convince me that a lot of the good done by chabad shluchim is done quietly, and as much as that freaks out people who self-identify as non-jewish, it’s probably for the best.
the baal shem tov had a job to clean up the evil going on in europe in his time.
clearly rebbe nachman ztz”l took part of this job, the lev basar.
and the rebbe m’lubawicz ztz”l did a lot of good also, i was learning things possibly incorrectly from a source about whom was raised serious concerns, and the maamer basi lgani helped me deprogram some of that.
there are things that we don’t know, can’t write about, or both. one of those things is that bodies of jewish casualties in ukraine need to be buried, not burned. chabad is involved with that. people have literally haunted the living as a ghost on at least one incident, because of not burying people properly.
their shluchim take seriously the job to reach out to the furthest lands, black holes, and deepest oceans.
there’s a lot i don’t know, but i’ve learned that there’s good and unrealized potential good in every community and every person.
thank you for editing comments earlier, hope things are well.
Many sites were down due to the Cloudfare outage. It was their fault and not due to a cyber attack. They have a system to mitigate security threats. Basically, that system works off a list of potential security threats. Some error caused that list to grow too large with redundancies and consequently everything using that list were overwhelmed with processing the list and caused website requests to fail.
In a sense, their security system got too paranoid and froze up.
There’s a lesson there.
