“Graphene is perfect in every way and everyone should use it”

We need a YouTube alternative badly

Maybe time for the OTF to diversify its funding. Hard to do but probably worth it.

DDoS as a service would not really apply to a residential IP though. I suppose you could try hitting a IP with lots of UDP traffic but chances are it wouldn’t impact the connection as it would be dropped upstream. I don’t know anyone with a slow enough connection to test this on so I don’t really know.

That’s exactly my point. Just your IP doesn’t mean a lot. Chances are your post history is much more revealing.

Typically the data would get dropped by a router up the chain. Modern routers are pretty robust and can handle situations like that. Also I think it is becoming more and more common to have fiber although the roll out is slow.

If someone here has a slow connection they should test ddosing themselves to see what happens.

Honestly I would be very interested to know what you are talking about. If you are referencing the past or very old hardware I get it but for modern stuff that’s just not the case.

You as a user can not just DDoS someone. Modern connections a way faster and modern network hardware with drop packets that are taking up to much bandwidth. You are also behind a firewall and probaby a NAT which will drop random incoming packets.

The modern internet is full of bots scanning. If that doesn’t destroy your connection chances are some random internet person can’t either.

It boils down to the ISP. Also there is no way of knowing when a IP changes. At the end of the day there a much better ways of tracking.

Someone can learn what city you are in

That’s fair

However, a state actor probably has more effective means. It is really speculation at this point. It would be nice if someone did a full investigation.

It doesn’t provide much information since your IP address is probably not static. It rotates and thanks to NAT it is probably shared.

IP addresses are fairly worthless

Ahhh! chomp chomp chomp

I would use Calyx over Graphene OS any day

I would be mindful of the security aspects. It isn’t bad but the connection is unencrypted and vulnerable to man in the middle attacks.
