#112Giving up for today. I think I reached a SMTP email limit and that's causing failures elsewhere related to TCP connections. I'll look into it tomorrow. Thank you for all the feedback! There were 5000+ successful logins! I think I need a better SMTP email provider and a way to make sure a failure doesn't crash everything else.
Decided to disable email in code and try again. Not too optimistic but we'll see. Signups will fail, logins might still work if everything is cached.
Root cause of the issues: Trying to connect to an SMTP service to send OTP's that began to block me after "suspicious activity".

#113Looks like there is some sort of DOS attack =(
Turned out to be my email service blocking me for "suspicious activity". Error logs weren't helpful for some reason. I didn't realize my server would crash if it couldn't do an initial connection to the email server.

#114This is great. It reminds me of something that was released circa 2000-2005, when there were more experimental fun things online.

Pro tip: have 2-3 providers and make sure you can quickly switch between them
And that's why many indie projects fail before they start because people think they have to do something like this and build for scale before launch day :P

Wouldn't communism be "our"?
no, it should be the State's pickaxe, that the central committee might entrust to you so that you work your part in the 5-year plan
groan There's no helping you people. Communism is a society without a state, classes, or money. There's no such thing as a "Communist government".

Serious question: How is that different from anarchy?
