gyrovague-com··on Cloudflare flags archive.today as "C&C/Botnet"; no longer resolves via 1.1.1.2
Jani here. What you describe as "doxxing" consisted of a) a whois lookup for archive.is and b) linking to a StackExchange post from 2020 called "Who owns archive.today" [1].

OP here. As the blog publicly states, this account is Gyrovague, and so is HN "gyrovague".

Gyrovague here. As linked in the blog entry, you can view both sides of the email correspondence here: https://pastes.io/correspond

As for outcomes, I'm very much a bit player/spectator in this drama, nobody's going to be "taking them down" over DDOSing an obscure nerd blog.

If they do go down, it'll be the FBI or equivalent, and it will be publicly justified as some combination of "protecting the children" (cf. WAAD) and/or copyright violations.

OP gyrovague-com here. Yes, I can confirm that I was also "gyrovague" on HN, but embarrassingly I've lost/typoed the password.

No, it did not. Unless you count the Soviet POWs who were murdered in Stalin's gulags.
