not sure why this is downvoted. they modified their captcha so that visitors contributed to a ddos against a blog, on top of a handful of other threats, tampering of archived data, etc.

they are not great people.

As a personal vendetta against Jani Patokallio (a Finnish cybersecurity blogger) who was trying to unmask the person who ran the site - which goes back to 2023.

I don't really care about that though, because trying to dox someone and get them killed isn't a good or moral thing to do. You could easily just not do that. You have to really go out of your way to try and hunt someone down, and at any point you could just not do it. For the targeted person to want revenge is just an inevitability.

Did you make an archive site we can use instead?

Why do you need archive if you can disable JS for most website?

i can certainly spin one up, use your site visits to DDoS people i dont like, and secretly edit the archived content if you want? apparently that will win me an army of hn defenders.

so fucking strange that people are playing defense for that. even forgetting the DDoS part, people don't care that they are editing archived content? wild.

Can you tell me the address of the site and I'll tell all my friends to use it instead of archive.today?
