Privating all my posts in this thread so Xkeeper and his cohorts don't get any ideas.

Even though XKeeper tried to ban WaybackMachine from making new archives, that doesn't change the fact that I can still access existing pages through it, pretty much anything before the anti-KF IP bans, really.

Has anyone made the new TCRF clone yet? I can potentially bring one up soon, before August, if nobody has done this already.

Downloading the file right now and beginning to unpack it.

Okay, but just start out slow with what you have--the last thing anyone wants is for the new site to flounder due to burnout from overreach.

This private information is unavailable to guests due to policies enforced by third-parties.

Just a heads up, and I'm not trying to backseat here, but the mods generally don't like it when people do this and they'll edit your posts to remove the Private tags (they've done it to me before, and in this thread too).

I would definitely get clearance from a mod before trying this, seeing as the general theme of the Farms is, you know, open documentation.

You should still do this. The more the better at least starting out.

Plus, the chances of Xkeeper having a lurking account are obviously non-zero, you'll have to either stick to your guns to a zealous level or NOT be a vindicative cunt.

With my posts, I never gave a shit if he reads 'em. I think it's funnier if he rages at them instead anyways. Which he clearly has, given the first post I made warranted him to instate the referer link ban. No sense in hiding it, as if this dumbass is looking for trouble he'll do anything to find it.

It's you, isn't it?

Our war against them may be a bigger deal than I initially thought if that's truly the case.

Trannies are the jews of the internet. I mean, they both hate showering.


Except we can save money on the the electricity bills when they cook themselves lul

The 100MB HTML file is the only major leak we got, right?
I scrolled through the thread, might've missed when someone separated into it into separate files for individual articles (as well as uploaded images, audio, and other attachments). I'll begin unpacking this simple HTML file if there hasn't been a more majestic leak already.

Kiwi & Cow and Bear Ass dropped dumps of the link attachments and most images below in here and Alex's own thread.

The text dump is great, but having a look through it earlier its image file references are to the File:<filename> page, which is an added middleman page. It doesn't refer to the actual file location on the server.

I went to the liberty of crawling through another way and got the links to all the images posted to TCRF from July 2023 (i.e. where the old dumps stop) to this afternoon. There's about 159,000 of them.

The beatings archiving efforts will continue until morale improves.

Let me know if it works, it's my frst time doing this.

And to Xkeeper:

Would it be of any value to put out a general call for potential archivers (autists preferred, of course) to sort this data out?

 

[Halbschwanz]

My contact plans to make the site a functional mirror of TCRF at a given point in time before accepting contributions, simply on the basis of having everything working before throwing new things at it.

Make sure DDoS protection is up and running ASAP. I would not put it past these people to immediately start trying to destroy the new archive for infringing on their greasy fiefdom.

...oh don't you dare bring the late Clive Sinclair into this

Sir Clive totally would have chopped his cock off if his hairline hadn't retreated to his ass crack.

 

[The Decimator]

I’ve been blocked from the site now, even though I haven’t accessed it via the Farms.

 

[kona2kona]

That's the funny part. It's technically impossible to get banned from clicking a link to there from this site now too, since the link referer ban was instated. So maybe something else happened. But who knows.

 

[Migraine Box]

It's either your VPN or you loaded too many files from an article too quickly (i.e., opened too many images in a new tab too fast). That traffic filtering is courteous of xkeeper's anti-scraping/archiving paranoia.

 

[Danann]

What even this "DDoS" attack is at this point other than a coping mechanism IDK?

He claims it's a bunch of mostly Chinese IPs trying to grab every file from the website (scraping) to fuel LLM/AI content, which is why he's been blocking archivers for months. How much you believe him after all this is your call.

Nah, I highly doubt it. Probably just super paranoid....
Also bonus blueskeet I spotted from his account.

I mean whoever said it is right. After all we saw, it certainly is treating it like his personal site and not a source people go to often.
