I hate the Internet and the people who own it

Anyone that changed their hosts file should probably remove the lines they added, in order to make future outages easier to diagnose. It's real easy to change a setting and forget all about it and then end up pulling your hair out trying to troubleshoot it in the future. When changing something like that, it's a good idea to make notes in a text file with the date and what you changed in case you need to fix something later down the line.
I did. But this is still good info to know.
And here I am like a pleb, making a copy of my original file and naming it hosts.sneed so that I could quickly go back to the original once the DNS issue was resolved.

Or much easier, just leave them in the hosts file and comment out the new lines by adding "#" like this:
Code:
#45.88.200.206 sneed.today
#45.88.200.206 uploads.sneed.today
#45.88.200.206 no-cookie.sneed.today
Any lines starting with # are ignored, and it's easy to reactivate them by simply removing the # if you need them again.
 
We are still getting DDoS'd? Clearnet mirror craps out occasionally, but comes back up after waiting a few minutes. Tor works fine all the time.

The clearnet mirror is gone. It was announced on Telegram that Terrahost pulled it due to upstream pressure.

I wonder what the large development is? Or is this a thickly-veiled hint that dear feeder is breaking out the deep-dish pizza?
 
welp the fresh air was nice while it lasted. back to the tor mines for now i suppose. i will say however the fact that an isp has any say in what is and is not hosted is pretty dumb. but since thats the case i am sure every single isp that complains about us would have no issues blocking youtube and twitter seeing as you can find plenty of examples of people doing the same stuff we do on here on both sites.
 
It was to be expected we'd be mildly inconvenienced again we all knew it was a matter of time before the mirror went down. The only thing that pisses me off is the consistant faggotry of ISP's and how quickly they alway cuck to the whining of a bunch of AGP freaks than nobody really likes, and even after the recent change in climate and very public display that people are beyond sick of thrir shit at this point.
Literally all they have to do is say "get a court order" the site is legal and they have no obligation to bow to theae freaks but they still do without fail.
All it will take is one of them to grow a spine and tell the troons there are only four lights and their illusion of influence will evaporate.
 
I don't think I've EVER heard of ISPs going out of their way to shut down an individual site.
Until the troons started going after the farms, it was essentially unheard of. Consumer ISPs might block traffic to a site, either by blocking DNS or by directly blocking its IP, and state actors force a host to remove content, but the upstream ISPs wouldn't get involved beyond maybe implementing DNS blocks. A couple of the big ISPs did de-peer from Null's own ISP and upstream, but even then they didn't actively pressure the host itself. This active content moderation across their networks is terrifying to anyone with any amount of sense.

Just for comparison, all of the Tier 1 ISPs that are trying to crush KF still have peering agreements with the chinks and also still allow cloudflare-hosted child pornography to transit their networks. They can't be considered rational actors. The internet is pretty much fucked.
