I bet some guy just told Claude Code to archive all of LWN for him on a whim.

  Some guy doesn't show up with 10k residential IPs. This is deliberate and organized.

    LLMs just do be paperclipping

    There are multiple israeli companies who will provide you with millions of residential proxies at a per gb usage rate and a very easy API. You can set this up in minutes with claude code.

      These IP providers aren't cheap (cost per GB seems to be $4 but there are bulk discounts). The cost to grab all of LWN isn't prohibitively high for an individual but it's enough that most people probably wouldn't do it on a whim. I suppose it only needs one person though. So it's probably a pretty plausible explanation.

  Can Claude Code even do that? Rather than provide code to do that.
