This is for my personal business prelaunch. I'm particularly interested in the "illegitimate" traffic. I have a suite of telemetry infrastructure to analyze incoming traffic and want to see what it produces before I don't have the option to "turn off the traffic" because I'm not the one causing it.

I can outsource things like ddos protection to my cdn provider, but that would still be just kinda hoping I didn't have any attackable surface I didn't think of prelaunch.

 

I want to rent a botnet and point it at my own website + service stack so that I can better understand how they work and protect myself against it.

I'm looking for things like automated web scraping, targeted ddos, llm generated fake comments and stuff like that. Basically, I want to test my services against my stuff before I launch.

I don't believe this is illegal as I'm targeting myself for education.

Does it work with glasses?

 

I purchased a system76 Thelio Mira Elite With a AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT. I kinda regret not going with Nvidia at this point but it is what it is. I primarily use it as a developer workstation, but want to play games on it as well so I can be rid of my windows box.

I didn't expect it to be able to play the latest and greatest games but I did expect it to be able to play older titles reasonably well. Games launch from steam and seem to work, but I'm getting between 0 and 10 fps on the title screen of Kerbal Space Program. Other games are similarly functional but poorly performing.

Where do I start? How can I ensure my GPU is being leveraged? Is this as good as it gets?
