#32Where is the proof that this random IP has anything to do with The Pirate Bay?
In your console, enter:
$ traceroute thepiratebay.se
Wait until it's done, then compare the last IP with one given here.

#33I wonder what's been taking so long. The architecture was supposedly raid-proof as I understood.
Alternatives exist anyway, including this one - https://oldpiratebay.org/
There are much better alternatives actually, all the torrent sites that already existed before the Pirate Bay went down and don't try to surf on the "Pirate Bay" brand to serve old, static content.

#34... and it immediately opened a popup with some sleazy ad. Same old, repackaged. So exciting.
The solution exists for years: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/adblock-edge/

There is a skull and cross-bones on the flag. I thought they used a cassette tape and cross-bones?

“We were not that surprised by the raid. That is something that is a part of this game. We couldn’t care less really,” Mr 10100100000 informed TF through an encrypted channel.
“We have however taken this opportunity to give ourselves a break. How long are we supposed to keep going? To what end? We were a bit curious to see how the public would react.”
Without hearing about the exact issues, we get the feeling that a comeback may be more complicated than most people assume. It seems unlikely that the site will return within the next few days, but if it does eventually come back online people will surely notice.
“Will we reboot? We don’t know yet. But if and when we do, it’ll be with a bang,” Mr 10100100000 says.
