 “I aint' got no DDoS. You ain't got no DDoS. We ain't got no DDoS. Where the
                              hell's the DDoS?”

It's October 1^st, and my server is still up and running [1]. No DDoS
(Distributed Denial of Service) is happening as far as I can see. It appears
that the “threat” was indeed, a joke. Not only did I not pay the danegeld,
but I didn't have to move my site to Cloudflare [2].

And that Bitcoin address I was mailed? Still no funds in it [3] (I decided to
make the Bitcoin address known—no reason to hide it), which makes me feel
better about the whole thing.
