Nah, just that there is a tiny glimmer of light visible in the dark cave of Kiwi Farms. Maybe it's sunlight, maybe it's some horrible bioluminescent cave monster that will try to eat everyone, but it's way to early to tell.

no why do people keep saying that? i have nothing. we've gotten one upstream and they can cancel at any time basically.

"I called some people"
"well well well I guess everything's taken care of"

like no I have no transit access, I am DDoS mitigated at the charity of others, and big companies are turning away $5000/mo contracts I can't even afford.

2 (t)reasons: Brickface is unusually smart for a detractor, and absolutely nobody sane wants a clearnet site dedicated to archiving everyone's dirty Internet laundry to exist which means nobody who could defend this place has in his interest to do so. Sad truth is if someone bullied Matthew Prince to drop an ISIS or CP site then this someone'd be pig food the next day.

This is also an issue. While it is difficult beyond belief to mitigate DDoS against scum who you don't even know who they are, they're often funded by people with something to lose. Utterly destroying those people, if you can even call them people, may be the only final solution.

any service that is able to properly protect this place and not be overwhelmed would in theory instantly have massive proof that what they offer not only works but it works when dealing with the level of attacks a place like this deals with on the daily. something which IIRC even cloudflare struggled with to a degree.

"We keep the evil Nazi doxxing site alive, and people REALLY want to them dead"

... is quite a tagline. I'll give you that.

getting a "Failed to submit solution. Please try again." error consistently on clearnet. tor works fine. ddos related or technical difficulties?

I am implementing a new security measure. There is some undeclared bot swarm harvesting page data from the site very passively. It's not a DDoS attack.

Ditto . On Android, with Chrome, tried it on two different devices, with two different VPNs, changing connections frequently.
Tartarus seems borked
Tor is fine

What do you think it's for? Gathering every single user's posts to then feed into an LLM and profile them based on that?

I will consult my crystal ball. It says it's for crack and gamba.

I think webscraping is a very valid and legitimate concern to have, I believe I read it on A&N or in the decade-plus old privacy 101 thread but there are AI powered tools that can identify similar writing styles to link two different posts on two different websites together. It's worrying that we're past the age where you could count on being too boring to attract the attention of an obsessed autist like that when it can now be outsourced to a machine that does it in minutes to hours.

I guess you wouldn't like my suggestion of adding an MCP server to the site so that AI clients can more easily interact with it then.

Stylometry is dead simple, and the papers about using "AI"/LLMs for it tend to be very poor science and overhyped.
But e. g. there used to be a tool that could reliably point out sockpuppets on HN just based on very classic/entry-level stylometry. Their false positive rates should ensure it stays out of things like court cases though.

Call Matty Prince, he might be willing to take you back after all these years
 
Is it possible to get Terry A. Davis Compiler, his Holy C language in order to speak to god?

IF A.I. is infested as of current, then the original LLM of Terry might work, because is it much more efficient, can Crunklord connect his version of TempleOS towards your server?

It sounds insane, but this might work.

Maybe I'll have to take a look into TempleOS myself, I need to decipher what god has left me behind.

Lucky for all of us, TempleOS is non-networked. There are heretical networked versions but Terry's Commodore64 didn't have networking and so neither shall TempleOS. Terry's Oracle is based on random number generation fetching a word from the dictionary, so it's no LLM and Terry himself says interpreting the messages can be difficult so even he wasn't seeing the message clearly.

I don't see how any of this is related to DDoS attacks though.
