      Friendly reminder that AWS/GCloud/Azure offer $300 of free credits with 1 year expiration, so if you set up a bot that could be 3 years of automated trolling.

        Oh it's already on my raspberry pi, I'll be keeping it up to submit every minute and switching IPs with my VPN until the site dies. I suspect they'll turn off public submissions in hours though, this ain't my first rodeo.

          What we really need to do is get people to setup some kind of background process on their computers that "perform tasks" on behalf of hexbear central command (HCC), where the task vanguard intelligently times the tasks so that Texas receives 1,000 bogus Heartbeat Act reports over the course of a week, but instead of looking like a cronjob it looks like 1,000 residential IPs naturally filled out reports throughout mostly natural daylight hours.
