forbiddenlake··on A Million Falcons Went Missing. Here’s How They Were Found
You're using Cloudflare DNS, so archive.is refuses you. If you switch to a DNS server that forwards ECS it will work.
forbiddenlake··on Suspicious Discontinuities (2020)
The post is from February 2020.

I can't see a date on the post (on mobile) but the archives link has month and year.

forbiddenlake··on Copy Fail
6.19.6 is nearly 2 months old, you should probably check your mirrors! 7.0.3 is in Arch already.

forbiddenlake··on Dropping Cloudflare for Bunny.net
How did you determine that Bunny lacks IPv6?

The CDN certainly has it: https://bunny.net/blog/ipv6-returns-to-bunnycdn/

Depending on where I query from, OP's blog does have it as well:

    # host jola.dev
    jola.dev has address 37.19.207.38
    jola.dev has IPv6 address 2400:52e0:1a04::1310:1
forbiddenlake··on Microsoft forced me to switch to Linux
What do you mean by bad?

Is this an ideological question? They are still primarily closed source.

Is this an install difficulty question? If you can read you can install them.

Is this a performance question? If you're a normie they're good. If you're demanding the top fps at the top resolution in dx12 games then there is still a noticeable difference but it should be fixed this year.

forbiddenlake··on Revisiting the original Roomba and its simple architecture
Can you link them?

It's not valetudo is it?

forbiddenlake··on Unifi Travel Router
Much less expensive (barring diy and print-a-case-yourself), and most importantly to certain people, easily available in the US from Amazon. (Jetkvm also suffers from unclear import costs and delays)
forbiddenlake··on I didn't realize my LG TV was spying on me until I turned off Live Plus
Mine's in the living room hooked up to a gaming PC, and I don't watch TV/movies.
forbiddenlake··on Fixed-Wing Runway Design
On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

- From The Guidelines

forbiddenlake··on I got hacked: My Hetzner server started mining Monero
This won't hide you completely, but it will reduce log spam.

My sshd only listens on the VPN interface

forbiddenlake··on Valve: HDMI Forum Continues to Block HDMI 2.1 for Linux
This trick unfortunately falls down above a certain size, especially if you want to game at a good fps, and stay in the consumer space (price) rather than the commercial display space. That gigabyte 45 inch is too small to use above your fireplace and view across the living room.

In my case I compromised on needing 4k, and got an lg 65 inch with only HDMI.

forbiddenlake··on CachyOS: Fast and Customizable Linux Distribution
I can't vote, but calling real people "fucktards" was poor form.
forbiddenlake··on CachyOS: Fast and Customizable Linux Distribution
Sure, but lts often doesn't work for other use cases like gaming. For example the experience on lts with this year's AMD gpus will be extremely poor if it works at all.

I run Arch and my 9070 xt experience was poor for several months after release. I can't imagine modern gaming on an lts release.

Cachy being Arch based and recompiling with modern cpu flags doesn't seem to be targeting the users who want unchanging boring software.

forbiddenlake··on Do not put your site behind Cloudflare if you don't need to
You have other options besides leaking your home IP. You could use a VPN like Wireguard or a WG product like Tailscale, which is what I do. My Tailnet IPs are in public DNS, too, because it doesn't matter, they're not routable publicly. You could also get a cheap VPS in The Cloud and proxy requests to your home.
forbiddenlake··on KDE Connect: Enabling communication between all your devices
Tailscale doesn't support mDNS / multicast at all, making working with KDE Connect more nebulous. I attempted to add a static peer via the Tailscale hostname, but both ends report not reachable, and the Tailscale daemon is constantly dropping multicast packets. So I'm not sure how this helps, but I also don't have a use case - if I'm on my laptop, my phone is on the same Wifi network 99% of the time.
forbiddenlake··on OpenBSD is so fast, I had to modify the program slightly to measure itself
I didn't read the article because all the moving bits were too distracting. Something also turned my cursor invisible, which is rude.

Not sure anyone lost anything here, or anyone cares.

forbiddenlake··on Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 Incident on July 14, 2025
Hm, what distinction are you trying to make here? OpenDNS is also an American company, acquired by Cisco (an American company) in 2015.
forbiddenlake··on Tell HN: 1.1.1.1 appears to be down
This is all true, but DNS was also down.

Signed, someone who was using 1.1.1.1 as their DNS server and hadn't configured a fallback

forbiddenlake··on The early days of Linux (2023)
It's fine, dupes are allowed after an amount of time.
forbiddenlake··on No NAT November: My month without IPv4
It's the argument to --resolve, not the desired URL.

    --resolve <[+]host:port:addr[,addr]...>
              Provide a custom address for a specific host and port pair. Using this, you can make the curl requests(s)
              use a specified address and prevent the otherwise normally resolved address to be  used.  Consider  it  a
              sort  of  /etc/hosts  alternative provided on the command line.
forbiddenlake··on Microsoft Outlook, Exchange and Teams calendar are down worldwide
You're logged in, they are not.

forbiddenlake··on Thunderbird for Android Now Available
Why do you believe that?
forbiddenlake··on Where the Digital Sidewalk Ends
If you click through to the app it requires an email and zip code to "register" and view the map. But it doesn't require actually receiving an email.
forbiddenlake··on HTTP: , FTP:, and Dict:?
The point of the article wasn't how to define a word, it was answering why old code mentioned the dict protocol in the same regex as http and ftp.

I for one had never heard of the dict:// protocol, so I was curious about it.

forbiddenlake··on Valkey 8.0.0 Is Out
If you upgraded to 7.4, then redis switched to a proprietary dump format, and if you want to use those dumps you'll have to use a third-party tool to dump the data and put it back in valkey.

forbiddenlake··on Google pulls the plug on uBlock Origin
It's probably the HN character limit cutting off the title.

But it also works as a joke (short for suspicious or suspect) and a reference to memes from the game Among Us.

forbiddenlake··on Puget Systems' Perspective on Intel CPU Instability Issues
> Starting with 10th Gen, we have only sold the top 2 SKUs (XX700K and XX900K) in volume, which gives us a nice clean set of data.
