Could it be that Germany was the only nation willing to help Finland fight the Soviets?

From Wikipedia

> Interim peace > ... > Defensive arrangements were attempted with Sweden and the United Kingdom, but the political and military situation in the context of the Second World War rendered these efforts fruitless. Finland then turned to Nazi Germany for military aid.

Their admin is a member of HN but I've never seen them reply to these threads. [edit] Perhaps they could share their perspective on what has been done thus far to mitigate the problem.

What would they possibly say? I don't think one should explicitly have to ask to not be doxed for performing a public service.

What gyrovague is doing here is obviously despicable.

I would imagine their technical perspective of what is happening and what attempts were made to mitigate it thus far. That is where the HN audience could chime in. If they have the resources I suspect they do then just about every option is on the table though assisting them may get people on some lists for assisting the Russian Federation.

It's also not clear to me who is attacking who here.

"Gyrovague", the author of the post we're commenting under has for reasons unknown engaged in targeted harassment of the owner of "archive.today".

Now the owner of archive.today is attempting a rather lazy DoS attack against gyrovague.com. A rather mild response to gyrovague attempting to bring the archive.today owner physical harm by spreading potentially identifying information about them.

There's really very little to be said about this whole thing besides that Gyrovague should try to be a less awful person in the future.

Like I said, I can't tell who is attacking who. Archive.is has more money, resources and ASN's than Akamai so surely they can mitigate anything anyone can throw at them. A little forum trying to respond in kind can't really be much of a threat. Archive could just tell their controlling nodes to ignore any requests to mirror the forum which means there is a lot more to this than any of us are seeing. That is why I would like to see the admin of Archive respond for both sides of the story.

I don't think there's any dispute on what the story is. The blog post here contains the facts, and a rather clumsy attempt by Gyrovague to justify his bid to dox the operator of archive.today.

> Archive.is has more money, resources and ASN's than Akamai

I assume this is a joke, but Archive.is is a shoestring operation funded through donations.

I am certain they would like people to think that. They have more IPv4 addresses under more ASN's than Akamai control which anyone who has tried to block them would know. Their controlling ASN's are in the Russian Federation which they make no attempt to hide at least for now and why I must assume they are fine with people discussing it. The GDP of the Russian Federation is somewhere north of 2 trillion dollars. Their nodes both in Russia and spread all around the world would not be permitted by Russia to mirror random sites without authorization to do so. One in or from Russia would not defy Russian leadership for very long.
