obscure announcement is obscure. basically seems like they've got a virtual setup now that lets them essentially deploy "the pirate bay" on anything that runs virtual machines. Now if they had distributed user run VMs running this private server VPN they might have something to talk about, but is basically just a hosting change. Makes it easier for them to move around as hosting get wise and shuts them off (as it wil…
For UK Visitors: The Pirate Cloud So, first we ditched the trackers. Then we got rid of the torrents. Now? Now we've gotten rid of the servers. Slowly and steadily we are getting rid of our earthly form and ascending into the next stage, the cloud. The cloud, or Brahman as the hindus call it, is the All, surrounding everything. It is everywhere; immaterial, yet very real. If there is data, there is The Pirate Bay. Ou…
Also, the UK Pirate Party has a "cloud" mirror of TPB: https://tpb.pirateparty.org.uk/ And there is a Tor hidden service for it as well, which can not be taken down unless Tor it's self is taken down: http://jntlesnev5o7zysa.onion/ And for those who want to use Tor hidden services, but don't have Tor installed: https://jntlesnev5o7zysa.tor2web.org/
Cloud is mainstream now, why did it take TPB so long to catch up?

Well, DNS is still a single point of failure. You gotta hope The Internet Infrastructure Foundation is supporting them.
Nobody uses the old domains, but there are many mirrors, and people still use TPB, maybe even more than before. A lot of people just know the IP by heart, too.

This will cut short most of the users who do not remeber IP by heart.
Step 2 - go after static IP and shut it down through ISP.
This will cut the remaining users who remeber old IP by heart.
If executed simultaneously...
I'm sorry, am I the only one that isn't impressed by this? I'm actually quite stunned that they are treating this like some new discovery. Pop onto HN any day and see thousands of people talking about cloud. Hell, some local IT staffing agency in my area has a billboard about cloud servers.

I don't know how many cloud hosing providers there are - to judge from the way people talk here there's only EC2 and maybe Linode. You'd need a lot of providers if you need a new one every 3 days!

Step 1 - What if their domain is shut down through registry? This will cut short most of the users who do not remeber IP by heart. Step 2 - go after static IP and shut it down through ISP. This will cut the remaining users who remeber old IP by heart. If executed simultaneously...

TPB's case is slightly different from most cloud setups, in that their primary need is mobility not scalability. So, where most cloud backends will try to be as tight as availability and pricing allows, TPB wants and needs to spread across (or be ready to move to) as many different providers, datacenters and countries as possible.
