Archive.today is directing a DDoS attack against my blog

#112Why were you trying to dox the archive owner?
Is it only doxxing if the organisation is digital only? Should we have no right to know who controls a large media organisation?
Whether you have a right to know, according to your personal value system, is orthogonal to whether it's doxing.

#114… seems like we the HN community should find a new site to mirror with.
There isn't one. As far as I know, no one really knows for sure how they bypass all these paywalls. (Most credible theory I heard: They actually just pay for the subscriptions.)
Many sites including Bloomberg have evolved such that even archive.today don’t have the full text of any articles. They’re doing no giveaways whatsoever.

I use my ISP's default DNS servers and have consistently gotten the CAPTCHA page for weeks now. The CAPTCHA seems to be broken too, rendering archive.today entirely inaccessible.
Someone has suggested that CAPTCHA is broken for everyone in Finland.
Seems to be the case in Estonia as well.

#116I reported a few times to the owner of archive.is/archive.today that he was hosting dox of a friend and he never cared. So, too fucking bad that he's the one getting doxxed now. A bit of karma.
Yep, I have heard of many such cases and I know someone affected personally. For someone who refuses to take down the personal information of others this is extremely hypocritical.

Has people's ability to read messages and formulate sensible replies been going down of late? I see this kind of meaningless replies more and more often these days.
Meaningless? Its a clear question.
You're accusing him of having a problem with it, which his comment does not imply.

> OP here Can you clear up the confusion as to whether or not the earlier user named 'gyrovague' is operated by you as well? (There was some suspicion on the earlier thread that it might not be you.) https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=gyrovague

You can't impersonate Google. Sites check the source IP and they don't overlap with Google Cloud.
You can for sites that can't afford the cost of keeping up-to-date with the Google IP list without which they can lose timely indexing. That is many.
What do you mean by “afford the cost”? The list is free of charge (https://support.google.com/a/answer/10026322?hl=en-GB) and maintenance can be fully automated.

Rights don’t emanate from one’s subjective personal beliefs. Sure, there are “natural rights” espoused by political philosophers, but in the real world, rights are enshrined in constitutions and codified in laws that we are all subject to.
