DDoS hit blog that tried to uncover Archive.today founder's identity in 2023.

DDoS hit blog that tried to uncover Archive.today founder’s identity in 2023. […] A Tumblr blog post apparently written by the Archive.today founder seems to generally confirm the emails’ veracity, but says the original version threatened to create “a patokallio.gay dating app,” not “a gyrovague.gay dating app.”

https://www.heise.de/en/news/Archive-today-Operator-uses-users-for-DDoS-attack-11171455.html:

By having Archive.today unknowingly let users access the Finnish blogger’s URL, their IP addresses are transmitted to him. This could be a point of attack for prosecuting copyright infringements.

    Oh. TIL.

    My brain had it filed under “an aggressive, close-minded person”. I probably read it somewhere in a context with the marines and conflated the expression with the image that the marines sometimes get attributed with - “eating crayons”, being hyperaggressive and stuff like that.
