Around January 11, 2026, archive.today (aka archive.is, archive.md, etc) started using its users as proxies to conduct a distributed denial of service (DDOS) attack against Gyrovague, my personal b…

    An archive link as the original site is not available due to DDOS 😬

      it loaded fine for me, but I had to bypass a uBlock filter to even see it because they are on HaGeZi’s Pro mini DNS/Browser Blocklist for being a domain associated with “ads, tracking, analytics, and badware”.

    At this point it was pretty clear the conversation had run its course, so here we are. And for the record, my long-dead grandfather served in an anti-aircraft unit of the Finnish Army during WW2, defending against the attacks of the Soviet Union. Perhaps this is enough to qualify as a “Nazi” in Russia these days.

    a little context from Wikipedia:

    Finland was one of Germany’s most important allies in the attack on the Soviet Union, allowing German troops to be based in Finland before the attack and joining in the attack on the USSR almost immediately.

    also, why is this person trying to dox the owner of archive.today? sounds to me like they fucking deserve the DDoS.

    So apparently this is a very deep rabbit hole, because now we have a third person who might own this service - Nora Puchreiner. Nora Puchreiner is… an interesting identity. Besides the links given by Jani (gyrovague.com owner) in the post, I could find her Wikipedia and Twitter accounts (both completely gone):

    • https://archive.today/2024.08.22-043809/https://x.com/norapuchreiner/ (https://megalodon.jp/2026-0202-0536-35/https://archive.today:443/2024.08.22-043809/https://x.com/norapuchreiner/ in case this snapshot “suddenly” disappears), suspended by Twitter for unknown reasons.
    • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Renamed_user_ghsfrdDFG678mFG7903145lk (renamed; was “User:Nora Puchreiner”), suspended by Wikimedia Foundation for “impersonation” (though I have no idea who she could impersonate, because all accounts under the name “Nora Puchreiner” I could find obviously belong to one person).

    I also found some AI slop post on Blogspot with creepy AI-generated images, publised in June 2021 under a “nora-puchreiner” account and perhaps describing her achievements? I can’t really make sense of what’s written in it.
