Doesn't really matter. It's moved to a Russian Github clone, so YMMV: https://gitflic.ru/user/magnolia1234

Yep it's on their Twitter account, and linked in multiple places on their GitHub repos....

It moved to a Russian equivalent of GitHub or Gitlab (because of where its hosted, YMMV): https://gitflic.ru/project/magnolia1234/bpc_uploads

Yes, same here. Forgot about the fact I forked the iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-chrome at some point. Reading the notice, it looks like they are going after all forks and derivatives…

I agree. Though there is a counterpoint that a Russian host isn't going to respect a DMCA request. On the flipside it's a Russian replacement for Github that is based on Gogs, Gite…

Yes, but it may be taken down via DMCA soon. See this DMCA request: https://github.com/github/dmca/blob/master/2024/08/2024-08-0... It mentions bpc_updates in the takedown request.…

Here's the actual DMCA notice: https://github.com/github/dmca/blob/master/2024/08/2024-08-0...

If anyone is wondering another discussion was completely deleted from that repo earlier: https://archive.ph/cBcTD

So hypothetically the CIA benefited from an anonymous decentralized non-internet based chat app? I guess that's two things (protest movements and a intelligence agency) can agree o…

You do know In-q-tel has invested in things that people use in the day to day, including Google Earth (originally created by Keyhole). DARPA kick-started the semi-autonomous vehicl…

No, as I and others have commented, this wasn't changed by the current Postmaster DeJoy (not ignoring all the other wonderful stuff he's changed). They've been using the dot com do…

I'm honestly not a fan of what Louis DeJoy has done to USPS, but I'm pretty sure they've used the dot com domain for as long as I can remember, way before DeJoy became Postmaster G…

Okay, for some reason they took down that one but the original (but not maintained) fork is gone. Fascinating...

Here in the Washington DC area, our metro still has two series of rolling stock that date back to 1982 and 1987 (2k and 3k series). At the earliest they won't start retiring them i…

Yeah, on further reflection, I recall my parents having a 286 with a hard drive. Still don't get why they couldn't find a 5.25" floppy. Then again both types of floppy drives are s…

I have this feeling that they meant 1988 instead of 1998 ....but I could be wrong? Edit: Even the news article hints at 5 inch floppy disks...which makes 1998 make absolutely no se…

Disappointing to hear. That was one of the distinctive features Gandi had. Otherwise other domain registrars are better alternatives based on price...

This certainly looks promising, though the only thing I can see its missing that Postman does is allowing the use of domain specific certificate authentication and the use of a use…

Honestly the biggest issue with any crypto, at least in the United States, is for taxation purposes, it's treated like buying or selling a stock vs an actual currency. We need some…

And I really really want Ethereum to succeed so other cryptocurrencies move to non PoW systems. Good to hear we are getting close to it rolling out....

Exactly. On top of that and the high transaction fees, it's more complicated to do a Patreon like service with Crypto than just work with the imperfect financial systems we have no…
