This is my final comment. This account has been abandoned. Mike Dilger has lost faith in the Hacker News community. Mike Dilger would rather engage with retorts and argumentation than downvotes which just amount to an anonymous slap in the face, convey large amounts of emotion but zero information, and are frequently used punitively. BAD DESIGN. Goodbye. Since I can't delete my account I will scramble my password.

It's also a shame that I can't read your comments to see if they were worthy of being at the bottom of the page. Bad design indeed.

Lest anyone be confused, this is Epik the web hosting company[1], not Epic Games the videogame company[2], or Epic Systems the healthcare software company[3].

The screenshot from one of the replies to the tweet ( https://twitter.com/pompompur_in/status/1437905607273635847 ) seems to be of qBittorrent. It's open source and cross-platform, just like Deluge. https://www.qbittorrent.org/download.php

Not available on my server unfortunately. Otherwise qBitorrent is the client of choice. I have found magnet links from DdosSecrets here: https://ddosecrets.com/wiki/Epik Edit: Turns out I didn't give enough attention to Transmission as it handled the file. Very impressive. As a side note: this has got me pondering about testing edge cases on open source software. Wonder how much of that actually gets done.

Epik "ended its relationship" with The Daily Stormer because of content hosted on the site and the "entanglement" (meaning PR issues). If you're not ok with that, then I don't think Epik is what you're looking for. If you are ok with it, then you can accept service providers disassociating themselves with "distasteful" clients, it's just a matter of exactly how distasteful they have to be. Source: https://www.npr.org…

If the only ethical way to engage with modern consumer tech is to do a full analysis of the positives and negatives of every aspect of it (which is a position I think has some merit), then the only reasonable conclusion is to simply avoid all of it, because it's all corrupted, at some point or some level, by something someone will find distasteful or worse. I honestly haven't delved deeply into the list of domains ea…

I (and many others) have had good experience with Namecheap.

I'm being downed for reporting on the information that I have about this? Fine. Downvote me a thousands times I will not hold my tongue. ADD: I pointed out the info was from Andy Ngo so that people could take that into account according to their own view of him. EDIT2: Ok, I got the order of events backwards.

I'll give you feedback. Any time I come across a martyr saying "Go ahead and downvote me" I do so whether or not I agree with their position.

How many just regular folks would actually pick Epik? Why?

I intend to for future domain registration. - Register.com is an annoying cesspool of value-add upsells and is extremely expensive in the process, with added cost to not have your personal info attached directly to your domain whois. - GoDaddy, other than the creepy ads, has shown plenty of willingness to remove domains hosting content that they don't like, even if it's legal. - I think Google is a registrar, but I'm…

I've heard https://njal.la is pretty good.

I've quite literally never heard of them, and wouldn't click that link if it came across an email... :/

No?

I don't get it, didn't anonymous start on 4chan? Why are they attacking this company which is hosting similar content? I thought anonymous used to only attack megacorps

Anonymous isn’t really a single thing, is my impression. Anyone can write “-anonymous” at the end of a message.

> OFFICIAL ANONYMOUS (not to be confused with 'Anonymous Official' grifters)

I find it ironic that this is the first line of a “press release” from a group that was always defined by its nebulous nature.
