LoyceV's notification bot (7 days retroactive)

[LoyceV]

I would like to be notified, in the same link, when someone mentions bitcoindata.science

This has been on my TODO for years:

TODO:
-custom aliases

I've added it. Try this:

Preference: show notification for other keywords:
alias:nickname (only letters and numbers, you can add more than one alias, use a new line for each)

It took me a while to fix this, so it's still experimental. Adding the feature was easy, but triggering it at the right moment (to reduce server load) didn't really fit my current setup. Let me know if anything fails.

It's not working yet. Feel free to add an alias already, I'll test it later.
I tested it again, and it looks okay. Try it, and keep me posted

I think I got it now

I will try.

Is this correct?

Hey, great tool! I've only been using it for a couple of days and already I'm finding great value from it. Nice work (as always) Loyce  

Well, I'll have to disappoint you: for the first time since I created it, it was really down:

It looks like there's a DDOS going on, which started yesterday. I started DROPping ports, but I forgot to exclude Bitcointalk (it was quite late), so I broke my scraper.
For 7 hours and 2 minutes, I didn't download any posts between posts 62480523 and 62481467. That's 944 missing posts, which also mean my notifications failed for those.

I hope to keep it working from now on, but the DDOS is ongoing.

The tool is working as of this post but yes, there are some struggles to properly connect consistently.

At the moment, I can't reach the server at all anymore. We're working on it.

I wonder what motive someone would have to attack your tools? They only really benefit the community and don't really pose a downside to anyone. Unless this is the case with some other tools on the server?

I'm the only one using the server's IP address. Why can't they just leave fake negative feedback, and complain on the Reputation board, like normal internet trolls?

Have you tried adopting litespeed over/in conjunction with apache? It's a good, cheap solution to filter most bad traffic without going to the extent of adopting an expensive/intrusive method like cloudflare.

The attack was on port 443, so this won't matter.

What about running a Tor server? I've got the following address you could have :

What about running a Tor server? I've got the following address you could have :

None of that works as long as the current server is unreachable
The plan is to work some AWS magic and be back online after that. I was unprepared to setup a second scraper to prevent losing posts, so posts archive is going to be less complete. I still see LoyceBot online once in a while, it may still be able to scrape some posts.

Update: It works again. I missed about 5000 posts in total

Not bad

Is LoyceV a collective? Good to hear you have some helping hands.

Haha! Sophisticated (for the worse) trolls.

Litespeed should still be able to filter out bad traffic, or rate limit traffic. I could be wrong but I have seen it used to mitigate both basic and advanced attacks before. It just depends on configuration.

Nice to hear!
Is there no possibility to build a function that could "rescan" from a set date, e.g from first attack til now?

It's not a secret the server is sponsored, that's where the help came from.

I don't want to challenge any trolls, but the current solution should suffice. I'm amazed at the tricks AWS can pull

Not really: I'd have to check all recent topics for activity, which would be more work than it's worth.

I believe the bot is down ?

Not updating since July 8 (or my forum friends all forgot about me  )

Let's test: it should work again, theymos whitelisted my scraper from Cloudflare's hickups.

It works, but updates are every 6 minutes. You were a tad too fast.

Will quote to test your notification.  

It also doesn't work for me, even though I started getting notifications on Telegram

Let me try this

Although it doesn't work for me either

Ninjastic's whitelist worked before mine. You should see this again (in a few minutes).

I noticed some missing topic titles in my own notifications. I think this was caused by the last month's DDOS downtime. I'm currently scraping all missing titles (and many of those don't exist anymore because the topic was deleted). This will take about 3-4 days to complete.

Consider this a bump

I think you scraping the older topics, maybe only for a certain period, and If someone changed the title, your bot still displays the older version.
For example, on my notification page shows a scraped post from the Sinbad mixer campaign, where is the title "[OPEN] SINBAD MIXER Signature Campaign. Up-to $75/w | Payment escrowed:" That title was changed by the manager (Royse777) on December 5, '22. After that date, the thread title was changed POST
Since the subject was changed to the OP post, your bot had to take the title from some posts within that period. I would conclude that there is a problem with topics after that period.
