Why does this say it's been posted 8 hours ago but on hn.algolia.com is archived 2 days ago, also I'm sure I already saw it yesterday.
This is a regular HN feature where admins resurrect old posts that did not get the attention they maybe deserved.

OP here. I obviously registered to post my own blog entry. You might also want to read your own link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Leningrad#Finnish_par...
> 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
It's a puzzling situation: - The DDoS was certainly unethical and unneeded - Although the blog post only shows an extremely one-sided version of the story by skipping straight to the threats, there are reasons to think that diplomacy has also failed terribly - The website owner has all eyes of the "thought police" on them, and given the current political situation in Russia, it's more than likely they reside somewher…
As for outcomes, I'm very much a bit player/spectator in this drama, nobody's going to be "taking them down" over DDOSing an obscure nerd blog.
If they do go down, it'll be the FBI or equivalent, and it will be publicly justified as some combination of "protecting the children" (cf. WAAD) and/or copyright violations.

This is definitely interesting and HN-worthy. If nothing else, archive.today links are posted on tons of HN submissions, so it's topical.
I agree - it's clear that archive.is / archive.ph / archive.today / who-knows-what-else has been a lubricant in many HN threads, letting people read things they otherwise couldn't, and that increases the interest of the topic. I suppose I should add that we prefer archive.org links when they're available, but often they aren't. Edit: I suppose I should also re-add that we have no knowledge of or opinion about what's…
Interesting. May we know why?

I have nothing to do with "rabinovich" but I also have no way of proving a negative.

This thing is blurry, shady and I hope it will draw some more OSINT eyes on it. I am now curious.

OP here. As the blog publicly states, this account is Gyrovague, and so is HN "gyrovague". I have nothing to do with "rabinovich" but I also have no way of proving a negative.

Interestingly, theres an account in that thread claiming to be from Gyrovague, but its not the same one thats in this thread , which has been confirmed to be legit as it is mentioned by name in this latest Gyrovague article. I wonder, is the newer gyrovague-com account because they lost the login for the old one? or was the old one a different person? Hopefully they can clarify, because if there's an account pretendi…
OP gyrovague-com here. Yes, I can confirm that I was also "gyrovague" on HN, but embarrassingly I've lost/typoed the password.
