Some mentally deficient children decided to take out the internet archive in the name of Palestine, atleast that is the excuse they're going with.
Now why would someone take out the internet archive to begin with? Who would gain from such a thing? Because anyone who has an IQ greater of 2 can put together the fact that taking down the internet archive isnt going to free Palestine nor destroy Israel.

Why, indeed. At dangerous risk of supporting misinformation, someone who wanted to alter perception of reality or the past would surely benefit from removing a major archive that can contradict them.
(Can I have a link to something about what allegedly happened?)

Eh, a DDOS isn't actually removing it though. It's just stressing the hardware and making it [very temporarily] unavailable.
Everyone should care about attempts to erase historical records, but I don't see any indication this is an attempt to do anything besides get attention.

That group just flaunted their DDOS, IA confirmed there was a breach and stuff was stolen.
I would hope that Internet Archive uses offline/offsite backups and nothing was lost. Nonetheless, I'm sure you can understand why IA and WBM being taken down indefinitely is still a big deal.
Even the XI community had to recently make use of WBM lol

I'm sure you can understand why IA and WBM being taken down indefinitely is still a big deal. Well yea, I said it already. Being able to verify the state of something in the past is crucial in an era where we are constantly bombarded with information and printed text is increasingly rare. Without trustworthy archives, changing history in the manner used in 1984 becomes viable.
I just don't think this has that sort of impact. A DDoS will not typically destroy any data on the website, and there's no indication I can see that the breach was destructive in nature.

So, completely fake-news? Shocking, I say.

and there's no indication I can see that the breach was destructive in nature. 1-Taking down IA/WBM is destructive in nature.
2-Stealing peoples credentials is destructive in nature.
3-There are no reports of what archival information was salvaged or lost at this time.

Sorry, but DDOS folks are back and knocked http://archive.org and http://openlibrary.org offline.
@internetarchive
is being cautious and prioritizing keeping data safe at the expense of service availability.
Will share more as we know it.
Its hard to claim "nothing was lost" when the person who runs IA last comments were that they're working to preserve the data from the ongoing attack.

About?
IA got hacked and taken down, thats an indisputable fact. Information was downloaded from their servers, another fact. The severity of the damage is undetermined as of my last post where a member of the IA team said theyre focused on data preservation (havent checked since), so what part of what I said was “facts I don't like” as mr “das a conspihrucy” claimed?

My mother is traveling to China.
And asked me if I wanted some gift. Then she said she will buy a PS controller for my nephew.
But then I asked: why the hell someone would go to Chine to buy a PS controller?
Even if she get them cheaper, it would be a waste of space to buy something that would save at most 2 digits in money.

My family actually had a chihuahua once.
Not a pure chihuahua, most likely some mutty one.
He wasnt a bad dog, but he meet his fate in the worse way.
Once my father was leaving to work. Our garage had a ramp before going to the street.
IDK but at that day the dog was sleeping in the ramp. And IDK too, but he didnt react to the car coming.
So my father ran over him.
We actually liked that dog quite a bit, it was sad parting ways with him in such silly way.

Got bored enough gaming that I opted to binge anime on my day off instead.
Watched about 20 episodes of Delicious in Dungeon. Even better than I thought it'd be.
Raises my appetite to the same levels as Food Wars though... Good thing I don't have many episodes left. Might inspire me to get fat.
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
