It's not an unauthorized mirror. The whole deal was that I was serving the content from an old computer off a residential broadband line. Well, it wasn't even broadband - it was this interesting wireless service in Chicago from Sprint that bounced signals off the Sears Tower. Anyway, Slashdot got it and my machine melted, so I put a plea for mirrors at the top of the page (my writing has improved dramatically since I wrote the plea, please don't judge). This was back in the day before automatic mirroring services existed. Also, I was a very poor grad student at the time, so I didn't have a VPS that could have handled the bandwidth.
Carry on then. It's all good.
