This is delicious and will only surprise their base, who love to paint those of us in the queer community as sexually perverted fetishists who shouldn't be trusted with children. #notadragqueen

FYI: for those who have been using archive.today/archive.is/archive.ph for paywall evasion and archiving articles for posterity.

Apparently the operator of this archiving service has been using the service for targeted harassment (both technical via DDOS, and social via doxxing) of someone. Wikipedia, which was also a heavy user of the service, has decided to move away from the service and is trying to plan out how to do so (it has been used for hundreds of thousands of references).

Posting mostly for awareness about the DDOS part... basically it means every time you visit the service your computer is used to send connection requests to the recipient of the harassment, slowing their computers to a crawl and making them unable to host content, effectively silencing them online. So, no one should click on or use any links from this service.

The doxing and harassment and ddos are pretty awful, but I think the worst part is that they're accused of altering archived copies of websites which means they can't be trusted as an archive.

[-] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

They were straight up putting some dudes name into random crime articles to slander him, then tried to blackmail the guy, I think because he was a wikipedia editor?

I need to reread it all again sometime, dude fully crashed out

[-] fatalicus@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

It was because he wrote a blog post or article trying to figure out who the person behind the archive[.]today site was.

[-] T156@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Specifically using publicly available information that they could find on search engines.

They didn't track them down with a PI or anything quite like that.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Wikimedia Foundation is big enough (and more importantly, foundation-y enough) that it should spin up its own archive.

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 3 weeks ago

plus it's an excellent opportunity to make it distributed, which helps with both sharing the load and making sure the content isn't altered.
Just do like peertube and have things downloadable both via http and via torrent, it's not perfect but clearly i works.

[-] metakrakalaka@lemmychan.org 2 points 3 weeks ago

If this is true, then making a thread with it as the source should be prohibited.

[-] HexesofVexes@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Any good alternatives for those of us stuck in "pay or ok" land?

[-] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

site requires me to scan a QR code with my phone to "prove I'm human".

Hard pass.

Better source?

[-] chaogomu@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago

archive.ph is cancer.

Archive.today and all the other domain names the guy running it has parked on hijack your browser to DDoS people the guy doesn't like.

For bonus points, you can't trust the content of the archive because the contents of a bunch of articles have been proven altered from the original.

[-] root@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Is there a good block list that tracks all these?

[-] chaogomu@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

Anything that isn't archive.org, that one is run by an actual foundation, and not some random guy.

[-] root@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Gotcha. Was hoping to find a list I could add to pihole. I'll keep an eye out, ty.

[-] HexaBack@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 3 weeks ago

dafuq? the modern internet is fried

[-] metakrakalaka@lemmychan.org 1 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah. Every piece of shit that creates a scumbag service buries the good stuff even deeper.

[-] Slashme@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

The original source is the Daily Fail.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 weeks ago

[Daily Mail] requires me (..) to "prove I'm human"

Those ghouls should prove that any of THEM are first.

[-] chaogomu@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

It's not daily mail, it's archive.ph. which is a cancer of a site. I don't feel like participating in DDoS attacks, so I don't visit that site.

[-] herseycokguzelolacak@lemmy.ml 12 points 3 weeks ago

Every accusation by conservatives is an admission.

[-] zabadoh@ani.social 10 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

The real reason ICE Barbie Noem was fired.

She could violate peoples' civil rights, injure and kill citizens for all Trump liked, but a crossdressing husband was unacceptable.

And she's a woman, so she was extra expendable.

[-] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

The only way to keep a clearance with a secret like that...

Is for it not to be a secret.

This likely wasn't why she got the boot, but if her and her husband were unwilling to publicly disclose it, it should have prevented her from getting any kind of government position.

It's not about what he does behind closed doors, it's what they'd both do to keep the door closed.

The only way that isn't a security threat is doing it in the open.

[-] DavidDoesLemmy@aussie.zone 9 points 3 weeks ago

Good for him! Live your best life!

[-] dotCody@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

Perfect for Trans Day of Visibility!

[-] VaalaVasaVarde@sopuli.xyz 0 points 3 weeks ago

Didn't know it worked like that?

Just in time for the oestro bunny to hand out eggs.

[-] Generica@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Bitch got wonky nipples

[-] LostWanderer@fedia.io 2 points 3 weeks ago

Oofta, the irony is so delicious, as always these chucklefucks can't help telling on themselves! I just wish they'd engage in humiliation fetishes instead of constantly punching down at minority groups.

[-] nickiwest@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

If they had healthier attitudes toward sex, maybe they would just be happier/nicer in general.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah I've got little judgment towards the kink, it's the marrying a fascist and clear shame lashing out that I'm judging him for

[-] LostWanderer@fedia.io 1 points 3 weeks ago

Honestly, I don't mind the kink itself...As people should be free to express themselves with consenting adults that want to engage with that kind of play. The shame-lashing is truly wild and even marrying a fascist is one of the things that ruffles my features; if only our society wasn't so puritan, so hush-hush with matters of sex, kink, etc. I think we would be a healthier society overall.

[-] sarcasticsunrise@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Kristi Noem's husband unintentionally ringing in Happy Trans-visibility Day lol

[-] finallymadeanaccount@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

I read somewhere that an undocumented migrant is the one who leaked the information.

[-] baggachipz@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago

Is there any other place to see this shit? My pi-hole rightfully prevents me from going there.

[-] sundray@lemmus.org 1 points 3 weeks ago

Here's a ghostarchive link, but it doesn't retain the photos: https://ghostarchive.org/archive/A5yUN

[-] skeevy_scallops@feddit.online -1 points 3 weeks ago

where's the copypasta about needing a NSFW tag? like bro I'm on a train rn

[-] AntiBullyRanger@ani.social -5 points 3 weeks ago

This is part the course in Nazi praxis.

The problem is that Americans are too stupid to do anything about this.

They are still yapping their NoKings parties are “resistance” against a settled “regime.”
