Funeral for the next couple days, streams delayed

Today I spent most of my day at a viewing for my uncle, a Navy Veteran who served in the Vietnam War & was exposed to agent orange when used in chemical warfare during this war.  He passed away one week ago, only moments after being removed from life-support (stating he had had enough of the pain & was ready to go), after becoming paralyzed when he broke his spine in a fall at his home 3.5 months ago.
He will be buried at Camp Williams cemetery tomorrow & I will be going there to attend as well.  Needless to say this is going to put a hold on streams until everything is finalized, however I am expecting to do another stream either Tuesday night or Wednesday before the Fortnite daily reset.  Family comes first, not like I'm actually making any income off of my channel anyways (outside of one very supportive individual who has been contributing over Patreon for the last year), so there's no reason I should miss his burial for something that doesn't even get me closer to paying my bills, I will be honoring his death not only as family, but also as a Veteran that served our country in the Vietnam War & putting my Twitch channel out of mind until after I get back home later in the day.  If I should need more time to mourn this death in the family before doing another stream, I will post an update here; those that are receiving email updates on my channel will always get a notification when a new stream starts, it's the best way to tell when a stream is starting seeing as I have no set schedule on when streams will be done.

4/7/2019 DDoS attack

Yet another DDoS attack, again expected to be organized by Twitch user iBreezyy.  Details as to what started this vendetta is listed in the provided link, it's retaliation to the publication of his poor behaviour in Fortnite (Save the World) back on 2/19/2018.  Tonight's DDoS attack was fairly minor until I shut down Fortnite, however it became a full disconnect by the end of the stream afterwards (forgetting to actually kill the stream after shutting down the game):

4/3/2019 DDoS attack

Yet another stream ended prematurely due to DDoS attacks, the only good thing about this one is it didn't start effecting the stream in a mission, but rather when I was about to start a new one.  Considering I'm expecting a home visit from my disability case manager in the afternoon anyways, I just decided to call it quits for the night & go to bed to hopefully be able to catch up on sleep before she gets here.

I am currently monitoring my router's incoming IP logs to see if I spot an IP address from the state that Twitch user iBreezyy lives in, considering it's expected he's behind the organization of these attacks, continuing attacks since the original Fortnite griefing situation on 2/19/2018, then the follow-up Twitch attack on 3/19/2018 that made it apparent he had a vendetta over his bad behavior being made public (he's already received 2 temp bans out of my reports on this channel, none of his bogus reports have had any effect against mine, however it is know that it's happening based on the recorded evidence from his channel on 3/22/2018).
