Today's Dead Drop. A spot where messages get left for pickup.
Anything goes: introduce yourself, drop links, ask questions, comment on recent events, share half-formed ideas, and whatever else doesn't need its own post.
A new drop goes up every day at 00:00 UTC.
I feel more motivated to keep a streak with the new shiny flames lol
i love big booty
Can't remember where I found this. Can you help me?
Yesterday they banned Anna's Archive in Turkey after some minor court found some sort of violation about the platform.
I had a simple Cloudflare bridge I was keeping that rotates between known addresses of it. I shared that on Turkish Reddit like platform called eksi sozluk (meaning sour dictionary in Turkish):
https://eksisozluk.com/entry/187684358
In short time bridge had over 10.000 requests:
and Anna's Archive started throttling cloudflare worker IPs w/ DDoS protection:
On account that the court only blocked one of their addresses and there're already workarounds (TOR/VPN that Turkish users are already familiar with due to frequent state overreach towards banning online platforms) and most of the requests were now hitting DDoS protection and it's against Cloudflare's ToS to use it both as bridge and for a platform like Anna's Archive, I ended up taking the bridge down that wasn't useful at that point anyways due to DDoS stuff.
This's @AilliA type of short story.
Thank you for sharing this <3 and thank you for you service keeping access open 🫡
I’m also surprised AA was accessible at all: I remember a friend telling me that when Wikipedia(!) was blocked in Turkey and ppl downloaded it and shared local copies :))
It's a miracle Anna's Archive wasn't blocked in Turkey until now. I always use the site over Tor, so I didn't even notice.
