    Honestly, I’ll commend them on good website design. Back when Obamacare first launched, government web sites were especially bad at handling high load. A website that knows it is under high load and knows how to queue requests to keep working is actually admirable, especially for the government. I guess DOGE didn’t fully fuck over DOJ.

      Looks like investigative photos cast a very creepy “using a high powered flashlight to investigate a crime scene” vibe. Horror games with flashlights kinda got the vibe right, it seems.

        Yeah, I think it’s all in the lighting. For a crime scene, you probably just want to get really bright light on everything the camera sees. That ends up making the shadows seem very harsh, and every other light source weak. There’s probably some primal fear that if your eyes are adjusted to the light, you’re vulnerable to creatures who are hiding in the shadows with their eyes adjusted to the dark.

      What? Those are some pretty benign photos. Even the painting is hard to judge without knowing anything about who the other person is.

        I got one by losing internal organs and in the process somehow pissing off a priest who was connected to a senator and decided to take a little petty vengeance.

            right? you’d have thought i’d have learned my lesson the first time, but then i pissed off the son of a senator connected to a priest and got a second fbi guy. we should really go to lunch sometime and compare notes on each other.

                Yeah. I like to think I’m special that I’ve got two fbi guys, but let’s be honest I’m probably just aware of two, we’ve all got at least a team (of LLMs, hereafter LLaMas because those dipshits can’t name anything for beancornen

      If so, the list would be long enough that it’d be basically irrelevant to your life. Unless we get a frfr hell-world ofc. Short of that you should probably be fine tho

    I’m curious; are you guys seeing this currently?

    I’ve viewed this link half a dozen times in the last two hours and never once saw the rate limiting page, from Canada. I wonder if it’s regional.

      usian here, i was on this page for maybe 20 seconds and then i could browse to my heart’s content. the “hug of death” is well-known, people putting on tinfoil hats about what is clearly an anti-hug-of-death measure is completely uncalled for imo.

    Wait pages like this are nonsense. If the server has capacity to show you this it could just show you the content you are looking for. Its obvious artificial rate limiting.

      not really; that page is much simpler to process and upload than an entire pedophile archive

      sharing anything over the internet takes resources, in this case a lot of them, and with government infrastructure they’re sometimes far behind the modern day trends on purpose, for stability/reliability reasons.

        There is also usually a load balancer in front of the actual application servers, so the page is probably being served by that instead

        Also caching is a factor here. Search results in particular can be a nightmare since variations in spelling or query string parameters having a difference of a single character makes it different than what others previously searched.

      Not nessissarially true, very likely the wait page is rendered from cached memory and does not require a ssd read to print whereas any actual files would. It is true that the web server does have to have capacity to show you this, but I’m pretty sure the limitation will be on the SSD side. (Read and write operations). Source 5 years webserver admin.

      Interestingly, if someone links you to one of the files directly, there is no wait or redirect to the wait page.
