If you were a former Google Reader user, you might like Feedbin. I've been with them for the last year or however long and have been fairly happy.
How does this solve the problem of another DDoS against some other RSS reader? Are you going to suggest that if Feedbin gets attacked next, to hop to the next product?
I was just wondering why I couldn't hop on Feedly. I feel sort of bad that this is what makes me finally self host my RSS reader, since it's totally out of their control, but I've been planning on jumping ship for a while, it's just been low priority for me. Goread has been tempting me though, so I guess I'll check it out.

There will always be people who want to get some easy money and have the brains for that. Instead of playing the cat and mouse game we better take care that our networks are protected from, at least, small to mid-range DDoS attacks. The alternative is potential oppression from the governments - "you fear the bad guys, OK, then we will take some more freedoms from you and improve our surveillance to catch them".
There's no reason you can't punish criminals like this and still have a free, democratic, and open society.

Any suggestions on the best RSS reader to self-host?
For example, I use it with the feedly theme (https://github.com/levito/tt-rss-feedly-theme) and af_feedmod to get a full text feed for various sites (https://github.com/m42e/ttrss_plugin-af_feedmod).
I wonder why they're not using Cloudflare.
Cloud flare is a protection racket. Some people don't use them on principle. They are the vendor selling chastity belts to stop rape. It is in their best economic interest that these attacks continue. It's sad that to run a service now the expectation is to shovel money to another service to absorb UDP packets.

I quite liked this article about the issue. http://krebsonsecurity.com/2014/02/the-new-normal-200-400-gb... > The shocking thing about these DDoS-for-hire services is that — as I’ve reported in several previous stories — a majority of them are run by young kids who apparently can think of no better way to prove how cool and “leet” they are than by wantonly knocking Web sites offline and by launching hugely disruptive…
From Wiki "For the time being there are no good technical means to counteract misuse of NTP servers" Sigh
enabling source filtering in all networks will essentially kill off these UDP amplification attacks, because the attacker wouldn't be able to spoof your address as the source address.

Maybe it has to do with its free-ness, as people worry about them shutting doors like Google Reader, but if you're looking for a free solution then I'd definitely recommend it.
