This also seems to just be vibecoded garbage.

Doxing very often consists of nothing more than collecting data from a bunch of public sources
That's certainly super optimistic of you.
I'm not paying for the tokens I use, so I just choose whatever is the most performant model OpenAI offers. I find LLMs to be highly capable, struggling very little even against fairly obnoxious obfuscation.
My use cases have ranged from malware analysis to adding new features to complicated EOL enterprise software without access to the source code.
I've done a lot of manual reverse engineering. In many cases you can genuinely 100x your productivity using these tools. Tasks like matching decompilation are an especially good fit for LLMs.
> Their nodes both in Russia and spread all around the world would not be permitted by Russia to mirror random sites without authorization to do so.
This is simply not true. You can absolutely run a website like this in Russia without any authorization. Who would you even ask? The whole idea is bizarre.
> Archive.is has more money, resources and ASN's than Akamai
I assume this is a joke, but Archive.is is a shoestring operation funded through donations.
Now the owner of archive.today is attempting a rather lazy DoS attack against gyrovague.com. A rather mild response to gyrovague attempting to bring the archive.today owner physical harm by spreading potentially identifying information about them.
There's really very little to be said about this whole thing besides that Gyrovague should try to be a less awful person in the future.
What gyrovague is doing here is obviously despicable.
It's a far more sensible point to consider when we're discussing the people around these individuals. If the girls surrounding Epstein had been prepubescent, that'd be a much worse look for the people around him.

Yes, sure, Finland had it's own complicated reasons for behaving the way it did. There's however no serious dispute about whether or not Finnish collaboration in the holocaust happened.
This is kind of pointless, nobody is going to audit every single instruction in the Linux kernel or any complex software product.
I don't think it's particularly surprising that his friends might have concluded that he isn't actually into underage girls, but simply accidentally ended up sleeping with a minor or two while having sex with hundreds of women.
I know a couple of people who spend excessive amounts of time and effort in order to hook up with lots of women. I don't particularly like either of them, but if one of them ended up facing statutory rape charges, my first assumption wouldn't be that they were deliberately trying to have sex with minors.
The charges faced by Epstein in 2008 must have looked so outrageous that it's not hard to imagine why those around him might have given him the benefit of the doubt, especially after the government basically let him off and communicated to everyone that his crimes weren't actually that bad.
There are some people aggressively misunderstanding me, I'm certainly not defending Epstein. I'm just offering a slightly more reasonable alternative theory than "everyone around him was a pedophile", which just seems fundamentally unlikely.
In polite society the idea of mature adults having sex with minors is generally considered so outrageous that it's easy to imagine how those around Epstein wouldn't have had to try very hard to convince themselves that the young looking girls around Jeff are totally adults.
It simply wasn't obvious to onlookers that Epstein was doing what he was doing, you wouldn't jump to assume that the young women around him were underage. Most of them apparently weren't.
Had Epstein surrounded himself with prepubescent children instead, it'd be far easier to assume that the people hanging out with him were interested in specifically minors rather than conventionally beautiful young women.
Vastly easier than spotting a clever bugdoor in the source code of said app.
This is absurd. Detecting backdoors is only truly feasible on binaries, there's no way you can understand compiler behavior well enough to be able to spot hidden backdoors in source code.
"Child" is most often a young human below the age of puberty. Consider how ridiculous you'd sound if you claimed that jurisdictions with an age of consent of 16 allow sex with children.
There's been little indication that Epstein was interested in prepubescent girls. There's "as young as 14" in the indictment, still old enough to feasibly be visually indistinguishable from 18 year olds.
>And besides, okay, an 18 year old, for hookups that's fine up to age 25 in my book. 30 is also fine in most of Europe's moral view, in France they'd probably accept 35. But ffs. Gates was around 58 back at the time. That's far too old to hang out with 18 year olds, much less having sex with them.
There's little doubt that this stuff was weird, and that Epstein was a predator. It's less than obvious that those hanging out with him were any weirder than your average john engaged in buying sex from young attractive women.
