there is also `japatokal`:

It is very possible that `gyrovague` is not `japatokal` but an impersonator.

It is down for many years already and no one spotted.

Just webrecorder + magnolia and you'll get something similar.

Maybe even better: magnolia outperforms archive.is on paywalls

The problems here is not that hardness, and not even yearly certificate updates, or bothering with new certs on every IP address change, but (as the commentator above rightly pointed out)...

1. Planned obsolescence built into HTTPS: no HTTPS-aware server device from year 1999 would work with 2023 browsers. Just because "too old crypto". Plain HTTP works.

Being on a buy side I am against HTTPS in such devices, but I understand the sell side's position.

Exactly those PIC18 devices, still in production and on sale, w/o any changes during the years: http://utronix.se/

Of course, no https, but.. it is not a platform limitation, just an undemanded feature: how would you get a https cert for 192.168.0.1 or a similar intranet address where those device suppose to work? They are just not for cloud datacenters

It is online at 1ft.io

I read that from recent magnolia commits, it falls back to {12,1}ft for some websites (apparently, some techniques cannot be done on client-side, perhaps, they require proxies in particular countries or google network to impersonate googlebot better)

This is not a country that lives off taxes from the little people, it lives off the sale of natural resources.

Moreover, many people are in a grey area of the economy, paying no taxes at all: for example software developers making software for the West.

Looking at the ridiculous "sanctions" of recent days, I cannot say who they are directed against. In long run, they benefit Russia, preventing leaking of brains and capital.

In his books (likely in autobiographical "Unholdes Frankreich")

Lyon Feuchtwanger, a Jew and anti-fascist who fled Hitler's Germany, lost all his savings in banks in the US, Canada, Britain and France. Because of the sanctions imposed on him as a German citizen. The only bank he still had money in his account in 1945 was ...German.

No, it's about protecting against racist discrimination.

I would prefer to work with companies where different nationalities are represented.

90%+ of employees in one country (be it Ukraine, Russia, USA or China) is a geo-risk for clients.

And mind you, Namecheap doesn't ban clients based on their agreement or disagreement with something. It bans pro-Ukrainian dissidents in Russia too.

Racism culture thrives in mono-ethnic companies and this Namecheap case is a good example

So, you blame your clients: programmers, webmasters, etc in war crimes.

Got it.

Even I am Estonian, I move away looking for a more sane company.

But such moves only shows the unreliability of businesses that preach net neutrality and similar things and in fact discriminate based on ethnicity.

So they show that Putin is right, that democracy and liberalism are dead, that Ukrainians are nazi, and rally people around him even more.

One of my websites is blocked by Roskomnadzor, so I'd prefer an offshore registrar :(
