All of our Win sites experienced a 50 minute downtime due to an issue with the system that routes traffic to our frontend servers.
This was not a DDoS, nor was it a traffic issue.
TheDonald.xyz, TheDonald.one, and TheDonald.space will be activated only in the very unlikely scenario that the main domain is completely dropped (which would mean it's never coming back), not for issues like this one.
Thanks for the update. We were all frantically pressing F5 while wondering WTF!?
mine is melted a little, going to have to change the mapping soon!
Sir Yes Sir! Keyboard is now in order!
Thought that was a popcorn button. Like, man, this guy leet!
I was on pocketnet.app and 4chan meanwhile but they don't have the same energy as this place.
4chan is a bunch of retards in a dark room yelling at each other to try and get the lights back on.
Everyone is happy to tell everyone else that they're retarded for not turning the lights on but no one actually hits the switch because they're too busy furiously masturbating in the dark.
stop imagining other peoples masturbating habits in elaborate scenarios
Fuck off fag
You probably meant, "newfag"
I prefer the old fag analogy... sea of piss.
Pissing into a sea of piss?
😂
Incidentally, while .win was down ... IsItDown said that it was Up, and the problem seemed to lay with Clownflare 'checking browsers' and then throwing 503 errors.
...just to pass along an anecdote.
For some reason I thought the CIA was involved but that is just a "conspiracy theory"............when would they get involved in American citizens private liberties and freedoms and ability to express ideas and just shut it down...awww shit
I didn't even know there was down time. I've been in and out so much, gone all day yesterday up at the ranch. Wow.
I also got a message from CloudFlare saying it was checking browsers.
It also said OAN was up when it was not.
Probably the resource nameserver is līve, but the content pages internally request to another server that was unresponsive.
(So the check says "we can see it", but it won't transfer content)
Which, in 2020, seems like a ?sloppy¿ (that's not the word) topology .. but I've never been DDOSed by Chyna, either, so maybe that setup is preventative of things that are typically even worse.
thx
I become confused and lost and just wander the halls of my work with my hands on my neck when TDW goes down. People ask me if I'm ok, and I try to answer that I'm fine but the tears give it away. The tears... give it all away...
I know right? We were supposed to be cheesemakers; we didn’t ask for this post-nazi apocalypse.
WE MADE FUCKING CHEESE!
Fuck, now I'm a soldier thrown into some Hitler remake. God it's awful.
Wow... this guy hit me in the feels. His story is one I've heard before though.
That’s funny! My brother and I were just talking about this last night. Sometimes the M is there and sometimes it isn’t. Couldn’t figure it out.
I've got to push a button to make an "M" most of us only do that when we are officially being mods. In this comment section I was just having fun with everyone, not sharing information or acting in a mod capacity. You should not see the m without mod information.
Wow! Neat. Thanks for the response. One of life’s many mysteries is solved for me. You guys rock! Thanks for all you do to make this site run smoothly.
Do you make cheese?
Was hoping Biden got arrested in a pre dawn raid.
We all manually DDOS (F5) the site waiting for it to come back up.
Yeah, we were. I had just finished emailing my PA state reps about designating Trump electors when I lost contact with TD. I did suspect DDOS, but I'm glad I was wrong.
You are my brother from another mother! <3 :D
Twins! But ones birthmark is just a tad higher than the others.
LOL Hilarious! Fergie Sr would be proud of his boy! :P
Don't let it happen again. I was seconds away from activating the militia.
I know the feeling, I was starting to plan a loaded trip.
I was halfway out the door on my way to activate Mecha-GEOTUS.
Rushmore.
I started loading mags and getting my kit squared. Sheesh. Talk about high alert... lolz
Your mags should already be loaded!
I just got some new ones from a friend a few days ago. Moar is betta. ;-)
Yes! Best post of the day!
Longest 50 minutes of my life.
I've never sat on the toilet that long in my life.
When your feet go numb you know you been scrolling on TD to long and the boss is probably looking for ya
Well my poo ended 15 minutes ago and I should probably get off the pot....ehh I think I can do another page on TD instead.
Tell me about it. I took my lunch at that time today. I felt like that mark Ruffalo meme where he's fat and staring at the pool.
Not questioning, but I got the DDOS protection screen from Cloudflare. Weird. Probably nothing.
That was enabled manually while trying to figure out where the issue was.
Gotcha!
Based mods.
Been thinking about a status page including some fun statistics like StackExchange's.
Yes, please. I was close to tears. sadpepe.jpg
That would be fantastic!
The guy running our Twitter sleeps 23.5 hours a day
My kind of guy!
He's the best boss i can ask for.
Lol
Edit: while I lol'd, if you ever need someone available 16 hours a day to post twatter updates, I'd be happy to volunteer.
Go for it. Mods all use the same password. "Hunter2" just don't tell anyone.
All i see is *******
Funniest thread ive seen all day <3
Ha ha it's very true. Doggos is on 23.5 hours a day 7 days a week.
What the heck is up with your personal downvote brigade?
I HATE THE FBI AND I TAKE IT OUT ON HIM
I like to call it the u/pray_for_kekistan fanclub
Is there a rivalry at play?!
Let's be honest, you'd be banned in a day.
Nah, we're all looking for where doggos chewed up the cord
is tdwin on parler? might sign up if that ensures updates when the site is down
Multiple backups. Doggos knows how to MAGA
My first reaction was to check those sites lol
My first reaction was, where did I put those sites?! Followed by crap?!
best mods
I almost had a heart attack, my little pede heart can't take this
NO BRAKES!
You rock man, great work - thanks :)
Thank you for your hard work keeping this site up admins!
According to Dominion thats 11,543 times
Ah, 11,443 Biden minutes, and 100 "human error" minutes unaccounted for :)
Thanks, I left my apartment for the first time in a month to get groceries and it was down when I got home, I overcooked my steak while restarting and fiddling with connections, even though my steak is leather I'm so happy you're back that I'm sharing it with my dog.
Get your shit together I just had to spend time with my liberal family!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Not really mods are GODS)

If it looks like a DDOS, don't just hit F5 that makes it worse, I waited a while first and then hit it 38 seconds later.
Just like you, I waited a few seconds and hit F5 38 times, but nothing happened:(
So should i unload the 7 mags or leave them loaded?
Leave them loaded till after Jan 20 at least.
December 16th.
The vote in the house will be on the 14th.
The rioting begins on the 15th.
The unloading of magazines begins on the 16th.
I stand corrected. I suppose in this case is "unloading" vs "emptying".
I am still holding out hope that Trump will be able to spare us from this. That somewhere, GEOTUS will be able to keep Americans from turning on each other.
But the reality is, that 73 million Americans know that this election was rigged, and will be unwilling to live under an overtly compromised and illegitimate regime.
I don't think Biden understands that Trump is the only thing standing between him and us.
I’m an idiot - I envisioned a weapon that somehow held seven magazines at once and thought “now that would be damn handy.”
Thank you for the laugh fren.

Mirrored site would be nice.
Sounds like a Biden vote count.
Good to know!
I'm not too smart but, what's the system CALLED that routes traffic to front end servers?
The machine that goes ping, of course.
They lease it back from the company they sold it to, you see, and that way it comes out of the monthly budget and not the capital accounts.
edge router or load balancer. depends on the setup
Good to be back :)))))
That was a stressful 20-30 min that felt like 20-30 years.
You're a f'n hero Doggos. Love you for doing all of this brother.
I was like, "Woah Nelly! What big thing just happened?? Who got arrested??"
n good company--OANN was down, too.
Again, I'd recommending getting thedonald.rocks also, because the name, well, rocks!
(Yes, dot-rocks is a real TLD you can get domains under... I know because I have a few!)
I’ll add: TheDonald.isaLion
Should make a thebiden.lose
Whew...holyfucknuts, Batman! Nearly made kakka in my underoos!
i thought my ISP was blocking TheDonald
Thanks was getting worried every time i hit refresh and it gave me error messages
Thanks, my F5 key is broken
3rd circuit PA Dismissed the trump campaign's suit, and they are now filing with supreme court, which means Alito. This needs to be talked about because I want to know moar.
Thanks for the clarification!
Do we have a back channel? One site I used to visit had a "bunker" for when the main site went down.
We also need a canary.
When TD.win goes down I typically start standing at my open garage door looking up and down the street - more often, smoking.
I don't know if it's stress or instinctual situational awareness.. I'm honestly not going to be surprised to see a bright light in the distance and NO news about a major city on the east coast evaporating.
I'd suggest IRC but that reveals your IP address.
(Looks like Tor might be an option).
Please take the time to read this and bookmark https://pastebin.com/CRCL13tN we can never be stopped!
Sorry for the dumbass question but other than gavinmcinnes, what are the "other" WIN sites?
Thanks for the update. #MAGA
Thanks for the update. You all do an amazing job.
I wasn't in panic mode, but was concerned. I did check the backup Domains (as everyone should have bookmarked)
Sometime we need to help run a test; pretty sure we got more bugs in the system, exactly at that chokepoint.
Also, as the traffic continues to climb, need some restructuring.
