Featured on Sep 5, 2022 at 6:06 AM: A frank appraisal of our situation.
In my life, there is a family emergency. It has absolutely nothing to do with the forum drama. I cannot and will not elaborate further. There will be a week or more where I am completely unavailable and it is likely the site will go down during this time where I will not be able to bring it up.
I want to appraise our situation frankly.
Domain Registrar
Cloudflare was both our application-level DDoS mitigation and our domain registrar. They have given me a way to transfer my domains to another registrar. I do not know what registrar to send it to because I do not have faith in any company.
DDoS Mitigation
DDoS-Guard will drop us dropped us while I was writing this post. This meme about Russia being a free country is a joke. The US is a free country, but with no stewards to protect it. Without the US, there is no second best. I did not expect Cloudflare to crumple so quickly and I don't have a Plan C for DDoS mitigation.
Resource Allocation
I own IP addresses. Our IP allocation is from APNIC. APNIC is one of the 5 private companies which allocate Internet resources around the world. APNIC happens to be based out of Australia, which recently passed draconian censorship laws. There is an effort to get our RIR to revoke our allocation. This would be unprecedented in the history of the Internet, and considering China is in APNIC's region, an absolutely horrific standard which will echo throughout the upcoming decades. There is a non-zero chance of this happening.
Hosting
We have one host and I am looking at two more. It is likely that the host will give up too. The two hosts confident they can handle the Kiwi Farms are probably wrong. DDoS-Guard was confident they could handle the Kiwi Farms and said "bring it on" for less than 24 hours.
This is an organized attack. There is a coalition of criminals trying to frame the forum for their behavior. These criminals provide opportunities for professional victims to amplify their message. Journalists canonize the crimes as the behavior of the forum itself, which becomes the effective truth for the general public.
This is a machine that was built up formerly against 8chan and activates any time the cathedral wants to test the new fronts of its censorship. It is a massive amalgamation of various interests. I am one person. The financial limitations aren't even the real problem - the problem is, I am powerless alone. There is no amount of money I can throw to convince people to be brave and be free. This is just the reality of our country.
And what this machine will not accept is compromise. If I censored specific kinds of behavior, it would not matter. They don't want a specific thing censored. They want the average person to be able to speak in channels where only specific thoughts are acceptable.
More importantly, they want to make it so that no small organization can host a service which threatens the cathedral. It used to be that one guy with a good idea could open a platform and be a Tom Anderson, Mark Zuckerberg, Tom Fulp, Christopher Poole, or Richard Kyanka. Take note these names are all from 10+ years ago. There are no new groundbreakers online anymore because breaking ground in the new Internet's corporate parking lot is not allowed.
I do not see a situation where the Kiwi Farms is simply allowed to operate. It will either become a fractured shell of itself, like 8chan, or jump between hosts and domain names like Daily Stormer.

Re: Update on Kiwi Farms.
A sad state of affairs. The globalists, with their mentally-ill tranny and commy footsoldiers have won.
What seemed like a great idea in 1996 and 1997, when the internet was new, with the information superhighway granting publishing rights to any and everone, has now become a thought oligarchy, with only those with the most non-threatening, mainstream opinions being allowed to exist.
The young people, not having known how free the net was at one time, are growing up thinking that censorship is not only the norm, but absolutely necessary to a "free and fair" society, are lost.
I'd weep for tomorrow if I still cared, but after seeing how the globalists have undermined and destroyed country after country, using both propaganda and "democracy", I do not have the energy to waste on a society that is fine with the way things are.
The Farms did nothing else other than archive tweets and forum posts, things that the cows themselves wrote and published for the whole world to read. The farmers are being punished for being too awake to the globohomo lobby, too caring for the naive, helpless kids of today, and too knowledgable about how good the internet once was.
Don't worry, globalists. Just keep doing what you're doing. Us woke people will die, and you'll be left with generations upon generations of kids and their parents that do not know of anything other than censorship, lockdowns, masks and "democracy". You fuckers have won. At least leave me alone until I leave this world.

Re: Update on Kiwi Farms.
Wayback has excluded kiwifarms.net from its results. It has captured around 3.4 million pages between year 2016 and 2022.

Censorship is easy, all one needs is a reason. Sometimes one reason looks sillier than the other.

Re: Update on Kiwi Farms.
I see there are urls available on https://archive.ph/kiwifarms.net . Not 3.4 million pages, but 2363
EDIT: There are also pages that can be translated from Maltese. I doubt many are different than the pages archived in English.
EDIT: Anyone have a clue why ERROR 418 self identifies as a teapot?
...nevermind https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/doc ... Status/418

Time to get a coffee makerThis is in the spirit of HTCPCP code 418, because if you attempt to BREW with a teapot, the appropriate response is "I'm not the kind of thing that can handle that request, but there may be others." .. In other words, "I'm a teapot. Find a coffee maker." (the second server being the coffee maker).
