    One of the gas stations by my house does something similar but actually cool. They show about 2 minutes of sports highlights from the night before (think SportsCenter Top 10 but also with scores) and then some non-political news headlines.

    I actually stand there watching the whole time. They get my business.







  • Hmm, that really doesn’t sound like a traffic pattern that would be confused with a DDoS attack. I would be frustrated as hell too.

    What’s concerning is that our traffic would look very similar. We have a VPN dedicated droplet that allows access to our DO private network where the rest of our resources can be accessed. We also have high throughput periods though not as sustained as yours.


  • That’s really unfortunate. I love Digital Ocean and spend about $800/month with them for work.

    Can you tell me more about the traffic they are mistakenly flagging as a DDOS? I ask because I have regular DB and file backups happening and if we had traffic shutdown on production assets for 3-4 hours, it would be a big fucking deal.






  • Once you learn Django, is it easy to get a simple website to get running?

    You can get a local install of Hello World running in minutes. Same thing for a Docker instance.

    How is its performance?

    It’s performant enough that if you are asking this, it probably doesn’t matter for your use-case.

    I am planning on using templates heavily, is it ok?

    Yes, that’s how you use Django. Since you asked about performance though, one area where Django’s performance can degrade is if you start trying to add too much logic in the views. Follow the Model, View, Control structure and keep logic in the control layer as much as you can.
