I won that bet.
Living 20 minutes into the future. Eccentric weirdo. Virtual Adept. Time traveler. Thelemite. Technomage. Hacker on main. APT 3319. Not human. 30% software and implants. H+ - 0.4 on the Berram-7 scale. Furry adjacent. Pan/poly. Burnout.
I try to post as sincerely as possible.
I won that bet.
Which usually leads to their being shut down.
It’s nice to see an org choose a side, but then we lose that org and we’re back to square one.
I did not know that. Thanks.

Hardware in cars, like hardware in computers drifts in configuration over manufacturing time. Some cars from a manufacturer might have some granularity of tracking that earlier units off the line didn’t. Toyota does this with their Camry hybrids, for example.
Trying to kill the Internet Archive would set just the precedent publishers want to kill community libraries.
I’d be surprised if the big publishers didn’t try setting up their own pay-for-access libraries in a few years.

Is it bad that I keep wondering if one of the big book publishers bought a DDoS from somebody’s botnet?
That lawsuit was a long time in coming. Covid just goosed the schedule forward about a year, and probably made it easier.
Of course it will.
The folks who’re recommending analysis of your site’s access logs are correct. However, Github Pages doesn’t have any such notion. You might have to go with the recommendations of moving stuff over to a VPS.
Doable, but a huge pain in the ass because of conflicts in the protocol. I spent about a year trying to suss them out and come up with a fix but never figured it out.
One account, multiple devices logging into it (in my use case, personal laptop, work laptop, two phones).
Don’t bet the farm on it.
