is newegg.com awol for other (SeaMonkey) users today ?

therube shows up here

odd. i'm getting (bogus message)

Access Denied

You don't have permission to access "newegg.com" on this server.

Reference #18.d569dc17.1716912628.512bae4

let me try clearing cookies...

nope, didn't help...

different Profile & same (bogus message)

therube: blacklisting by akamai

i'm in USA, odd. (FF does [still] work.)

oh, I don't think they exempt the USA

if you want to test, I think reports of that included the wapo and the usps, so if they're still behind akamai you can see if it's more site-specific or if there is some wider block in place

changing UA may help, visiting with another browser might help, but no sure way

akamai would be blocked, by default (NoScript). Allowing it, did not help either.

if your internet connection assigns you a different IP, try reconnecting if possible, changes might then be just that you got some blacklisted address

but with that error format, it's definitely akamai.

UA worked, setting general.useragent.override

i throw in a site specific UA

s/i/i'll/

FF 111.0 fails, but 112.0 works

Firefox/112.0 SeaMonkey works, but if i change it to, Firefox/112.0 SeaMonkey 2.53, it fails

There's always the holy grail of UA strings.

If you try MSIE6, what happens?

& this works, Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:91.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/112.0 SeaMonkey/2

& PaleMoon works with a UA of:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:102.0) Gecko/20100101 Goanna/6.6 Firefox/102.0 PaleMoon/33.0.1

which uses a FF part of 102. in any case, newegg are morons for this.

oh, and I can reproduce

and sadly I regret to inform that IE6 does *not* pass

(the UA, not the browser)

s@UA@& string&

hm, not so easy to test, once I fiddled a bit, it stopped giving me the "access denied"

: "NCSA Mosaic/1.0 (X11;SunOS 4.1.4 sun4m)"

works too but might be just that.

FWIW Newegg fails here from Soviet Venezuela

but I'm used to sites giving me Access Denied errors due to Das Sanctions™...

your loss Newegg, I'll continue shopping at Amazon and enriching Jeff Pesos even more~

love when scripts work.. finally.. postimg.cc/sQZh1Fpn

I am switching to el9 until snowball is sufficiently developed

so no more seamonkey building insanity

i have to do on here

I have to believe a decently functioning LTS kernel combined with centos stream user-space should provide a decent enough base once I .. provide the missing bits vs my fc39 configuration

and when rhel 10 comes around.. I will still have xorg

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhh fuck it.. SeaMonkey is the official Default Internet Client of Fez Enterprising Linux

lol

there now I HAVE to help.

no choice it's the default!

Kela's technical support doesn't know why F5 bans some of the users in IP-level

Also seems that they are not going to fix it

maybe they can engage f5 support

franstam: I don't think they'll do that

ok

no-one cares, no one is in charge of it when something doesn't work

is it cos f5 support sucks?

eh?

They outsourced the webhosting and now it isn't their (Kela's) problem anymore

And I cannot contact F5 directly for something that only concerns Kela's website

lol

hi franstam

No-one knows why it gives me an IP-level ban

are you a malicious hacker?

cause I heard malicious hackers get banned all the time

so what nonsense did they use to treat you like what Sompi

This is the typical shitstorm of modern society where everything is digitalized and then the digitalized service is outsourced to some random company in the USA and no-one knows how anything works anymore

They say that I'm the only one who has this problem (IP ban) but I don't believe that

More likely a typical user doesn't even realize that they are being banned on the IP level, because they lack the necessary skills to troubleshoot it

And they never contact the technical support

Sompi: start a blog that way you can link us and we can spread it around and maybe make a difference.

in other stuff... and completely off-topic as my stuff tends to be.. this is how linux should work.. go get a window manager a file manager some sort of dock in this case the modern windows-like winbar and boom you have a "Computer" postimg.cc/Yj7QkBMd

not 379 kde packages and deps

xfce4 is not yet infiltrated by microsofters

and rusters

he is off justifing xwayland rather than saving xorg or helping with a real x11 fork.. basically.. forget em

linux should be like DOS but with multitasking, memory protection (when the CPU supports it), pipes, sockets, signals and stuff

initrc is the autoexec.bat in linux

you CAN do that

i mean of course you have modern multiprocessing but that's fine.. up to right nowish anyway

Sompi: but sysvinit will do fine for the time being on my from scratch project

i have to stay with systemd on this cause it is redhat based

Sompi: have you had any luck with figuring out if there is an issue on Elisa's side?

that MTU length thing would have been a shot in the dark, and I really didn't see anything else that sounded possibly related so far

Kela's response is a bit broad in that they only mention browser names... when they say part of older devices work too, which *versions* are they aiming at? (I'd perhaps ask them what's their policy on Windows NT 6.1 and NT 5.1 systems, too)

Sompi: but in your case I wonder if it's possible that Elisa is doing something not so good, or if there is some network compatibility issue, or if Elisa is doing something that is OK but somehow triggers filtering at F5

the "weirdest" here might be how it only fails sometimes, have you ever spotted anything that might sound like a pattern that explains that?

I made a packet capture file with wireshark

at first it works fine and makes those client hellos

then the server suddenly stops responding

That's when I try to load the front page

using firefox

Sompi: you know scanning networks is looked down on

and using wireshark scares people

with scary hacker info

only hackers know

you seriously have to baby people when you go past a certain technical level
