How am I supposed to know what jcctv.net looked like back in 2011 now?

Thanks a lot, Department of Erasing History. I hate you now.

(And yes, that is indeed a real website... well, it WAS a real website)

Oh shit... it's the Records Department at the Ministry of Truth!

Is it a tutorial of how to be a jerk?

looks like itch.io is down too. might be a coincidence or someone trying to show off...

What kind of sick fuck would do this?

I'm working on a protocol that makes information quite hard (I won't say impossible because nothing probably is) to take down, because I believe in both information shouldn't be censored and that everyone should be able to share what they want (yes moral stuff like a song).

I'd love meeting like-minded people to learn more about what other people do and think about stuff like that :-)

I mean there are ways to get around ddos or the "great" firewall of china for example. So why not do it?

Tried to reach out on matrix and some niche communities but they were very (very) small, so I'm still looking for some melting pot.

Any idea?

Damn, I was about to watch, The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr.. 😣

This seems like it could be the work of someone who doesn't want their webpage data being scraped and stolen by AI LLMs, that are using archive.org as some kind of method for bypassing paywalls.

If I find out who's doing it I'm chopping off your hands and stealing your botnet. Long live The Internet Archive!

Someone is really trying to recreate the Burning of Alexandria. Can we be certain that Internet Archive and Wikipedia (as awful of a shit place that can be) are going to stand the test of time at this rate?
