Around January 11, 2026, archive.today (aka archive.is, archive.md, etc) started using its users as proxies to conduct a distributed denial of service (DDOS) attack against Gyrovague, my personal b…

    So apparently this is a very deep rabbit hole, because now we have a third person who might own this service - Nora Puchreiner. Nora Puchreiner is… an interesting identity. Besides the links given by Jani (gyrovague.com owner) in the post, I could find her Wikipedia and Twitter accounts (both completely gone):

    • https://archive.today/2024.08.22-043809/https://x.com/norapuchreiner/ (https://megalodon.jp/2026-0202-0536-35/https://archive.today:443/2024.08.22-043809/https://x.com/norapuchreiner/ in case this snapshot “suddenly” disappears), suspended by Twitter for unknown reasons.
    • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Renamed_user_ghsfrdDFG678mFG7903145lk (renamed; was “User:Nora Puchreiner”), suspended by Wikimedia Foundation’s Trust & Safety team for “impersonation” (though I have no idea who she could impersonate, because all accounts under the name “Nora Puchreiner” I could find obviously belong to one person).

    I also found some AI slop post on Blogspot with creepy AI-generated images, publised in June 2021 under a “nora-puchreiner” account and perhaps describing her achievements? I can’t really make sense of what’s written in it.

    UPD: also some print shop. I think all of this deserves a YouTube video by an internet oddity enjoyer…

      It’s not a lot of Russian, and I am not a native speaker, but because Russian isn’t a word order language, there are some sentences in Russian an automatic translation service is unlikely to produce (since you can almost always retain the same word order as the original language, so why wouldn’t you?). This sample uses no such construction.

    The gyrovague.gay thing as a threat is just so … out there. Like why would anyone care that there’s a vibe coded pro gay app that is obviously not your blog.

      Don’t use NameCheap. It’s run by Zionists.

      IB “Zionism” ≈ “genocide deniers” may not be entirely accurate. I accept corrections.

    I may be off, but this sounds pretty fishy to me. On both sides.
