Surgery isn't a first line treatment for overactive thyroid. They would try medication and radioiodine first.

There were over 400 people on KF when I logged in last night and that was when word of it being back up had first started to spread. While I'm not a fan of the chats, an awful lot of activity happens there in addition to the forum threads. The first few sites I joined on the internet were ones...

How does "online rehab" work? Couldn't you just lie through your teeth about your substance use?

I can't wait to see the unintended consequences of Ralph aligning himself with Elaine.

No. For it to have any value at all it would need to condense all the information currently held on KF - the information LFJ is prepared to take down a website by dubious means to have vanish. I don't think you're in any way prepared for the onslaught you'd be inviting.

I was talking about KF being back up.

It was stable for a while but now it's being flaky. Sometimes you can't reach the site at all and sometimes you can load the front page but go no further. Chat probably should have been disabled until it's consistently stable. It seems to be creating most of the traffic atm.

I'd rather just follow people who I know repost the updates, tbh.

And it's down again. Probably due to people spamming the TG thread.

Many people - myself included - refuse to join Telegram. He would be better off posting some links to people who reposts his updates, as chudbuds used to do and Pink Blush does now. His comment about HTTP/HTTPS relates to why there can be issues with images loading over Tor and is unrelated to...

Dude, the site can't handle the <100 lurkers it's been getting over the last few days.

.cc should have provided that but unfortunately it's on the KF server. People who maintain strict opsec on KF sure as hell aren't going to join Telegram for updates.

You don't have to download tor. It's built into Brave and you can open a tor window there. A lot of kiwis already have tor downloaded, though, and wouldn't be disappointed if having to use it discouraged a heap of the fresh meat which flocked to the site over the last 12 months.

Under 100 people online shouldn't be slowing down the site and if it is then Ken needs to do something about it if he wants OF to be a viable alternative to KF.

One of LFJ's partners works for Fastly.

That's the one I have bookmarked. Sometimes it's doing the bot check and then returning a 503 and other times it returns a 503 straight away.

Getting a 503 here, too. It's the right url.

For those who believe LFJ is just being scapegoated by Null. Sage is Liz's "executive assistant". https://archive.md/zsKF8

Sage has publicly claimed credit on behalf of him and Liz with a promise of updates later.

The slowness and all of the errors which have been happening over the last few days are literally the same as those experienced regularly by KF. The number of people online is small and shouldn't be having any impact on how the site is functioning.

No, an anonymous accusation would be one where Liz didn't know who was making it - which wasn't the case here.

That's the one.

Unlike the Hacker News accusation, the "consent accident" accusation wasn't made anonymously. The person making the accusation was talking about it publicly which is what prompted Liz to respond on Twitter. We were never able to track down who that person is, but Liz's response makes it...

One thing which is often not mentioned is that a lot of farmers don't like Josh personally. They like the site, though, and they try to avoid being noticed by Josh. His misanthropy is extreme and many people don't want to deal with it so they avoid interacting with him.

I also recall one very even handed article being written last year by a trans woman. I wish I could remember her name offhand because it's far and away the fairest report on KF I've ever read. I find it frustrating that people continue to get some important details wrong. LFJ wasn't fired...

Interesting post from the Ovarit thread.

LFJ has some financial resources available and is likely to try to bury null in legal costs if sued. He lives in both Canada and Australia, so any restraining orders against him would need to be domesticated in those countries - not difficult but it's an extra step which will cost money.

When the farms is down for any length of time, a lot of people stop checking daily to see whether it's back up. Eventually the fact it's back up gets posted on places other than Telegram. I'm not sure that much exists in the way of greener pastures. That may change if Josh throws in the towel...

People forget that Google had an enormous amount of engineers on their staff during the time LFJ worked there, many of whom have now gone on to work for other companies. While he may not have been universally liked, his organisation of the Google walkout and his starting of the strike fund...

Nah, even if KF never came back up that information would surface elsewhere from time to time. It would just be easier to get it removed from other places for a while until it reappeared again.

KF is not a large site. The main things which have made it a target are its SEO and its extensive archiving. DFE is not a useful tactic against KF. Splintering the site wouldn't make it less of a target. None of KF's enemies care about the parts of the site which don't focus on lolcows and...

Yeah, my response was mostly to Ken and any other onions who believe it's unlikely #dropkiwifarms have been able to exert this kind of influence.

Maybe. Hard to check stuff with KF down.

I thought Terrahost was forced into capitulation last year. And how would people know he's begging for money? A lot of kiwis refuse to install Telegram. After the drama last year Josh said that "we needed big friends and we found them". The context in which that comment was made suggested...

Images aren't loading properly and refresh doesn't fix it. All of the bugs I've noticed in the last 24 hours are ones KF has so they may be due to the licence yeeting.

Easy as shit to get the names of people. Vordrak has been employing this strategy for years and has continued to post this information throughout #dropkiwifarms. If you're familiar with how Vordrak works, he'll outline illegal strategies and then finish with a weak disclaimer...

It's not good PR if the site struggles when less than 100 people are viewing.

I doubt it.

Refreshing fixes that. Sometimes it takes a few refreshes to fix the quoting and sticker problems.

Charles is 74. If he lives as long as his mother then William will ascend to the throne at 60, when George is 29. The public was never thrilled about Charles assuming the throne and him doing so at an advanced age highlights the disconnection between the monarchy and the people. William may...

Same problem intermittently here. Also getting this occasionally. There aren't enough members and guests online to be causing it.

Doesn't Tor still require KF having at least indirect access to a tier 1 provider?

reddit has a site wide ban on KF even being mentioned. It won't be long until their jannies start sweeping.

Thank fuck there's only a pilot of the coronation. It was the most boring stream I've tried to watch in a very long time.

tbf, so is LFJ.

When I joined KF it had about as many members as Onion Farms has now. Not all of the growth spurts since then have been for the better. While I think trying to force growth is a terrible idea, you definitely shouldn't do it before you have a clear vision for OF - and at the moment your vision...

That might be one of the few times Elaine has told the truth.

The house burning down wasn't a recent event. Even before the Vordrak drama Null's relationships with his extended family were distant. None of the "diary" excerpts posted by Elaine read like Null's "voice".

It's been going offline for me every weekend like clockwork lately, in addition to the more brief outages in between. It's very disruptive to fast moving threads.

People are stupid. Even though there've been at least 3 KF intrusions that I recall, people still don't follow basic opsec. If you're going to post on a site which has KF-like content, as OF does, you need to assume people are going to try to obtain your user data and make that data useless.

Protonmail's VPNs are pretty safe but under certain circumstances they will log IPs used to access their email service. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2021/09/privacy-focused-protonmail-provided-a-users-ip-address-to-authorities/ Brave now offers its own paid VPN but it's not...

I'm not sure. He posted last week that he'd had physical servers in storage while he was using virtual servers and that he was going to bring them back online. This suggests that's what he's doing.

And why would anyone go to another Kengle website to follow Twitter feeds when we can just go to Twitter and create our own feeds for lolcows who interest us?

Hope you saved images.

It may be unhealthy but for many people it's a normal diet.

It's easiest to just create a new Twitter account.

Vordrak dropped the name change info a long time ago.

Well he was running it. Turns out the cloud cost is $30,000 for three days and not $30,000 for a month. Oops.

Remember what happened when Null decided to grow KF.

It's actually kind of infuriating. If you follow a link to Twitter it will prompt you to log in but when you do it takes you to your home feed, not the link you followed. The option to explore or search without logging in has indeed been removed. Twitter has also changed it's name.

All of your dark themes look like they were created by someone who's colour blind. The only one worth a shit was the dusky one and that's gone now.

This. It feels like I'm always having to pick a new dark theme and always a worse one. The layout changes are annoying too, but not nearly as much as the theme changes.

Hmmm. Lexapro. Usually started at 10mg once a day. Noteworthy because the doses for OCD are double those used for depression generalised anxiety disorder.

I'm not aware of what's going on with ILJ, but will go and check it out. As the board has grown I've found myself consuming ever smaller parts of it. I agree that Josh is "dependent on the grift". While some moves to grow the site have been successful in that they've attracted new members, I...

Josh has always openly hated offsites because they blur lines and generate drama which then gets blamed on KF. It's a position I understand but chat is just as bad and encourages the same kind of cliques.

Imagine getting Shanley out of your life only to later encounter Elaine.

The information about him being bonded out came from official records, so the person on Twitter calling it fiction is a moron. His release most likely relates to the motion for deferred disposition which was made last year. That would give the court several months of Chris living in the...

Originally VINE said he was bonded out. That was updated to say released by court order.

lurk moar

It should have been longer. The consequences for health-related fraud need to be so harsh that few people will risk them.

Brave has an Android app.

You can already hide forums on Xenforo. Just make people more aware of that option.

There are almost no circumstances these days under which a signature would be checked. You're either going to be using chip and PIN, tap and pay, or using the card online or at an ATM. It's not going to be in anyone else's hands for them to even check whether it's been signed.

They are scanning every 10 seconds or so. It's not like they don't know what he's doing.

They don't want Kiwifarms to have an internet presence at all. They've been very clear that there is no content deletion which would satisfy them.

Speaking of Esqueer, this happened. https://ghostarchive.org/archive/RfhAz https://archive.ph/17m3g

It's the only way they can legitimise their demands for service providers to drop KF in a way that gives service providers a (very transparent) out from accusations of doing favours for the boys. When Twitter redefines acceptable content, you won't see them pushing for those ToS revisions to be...

LFJ getting salty with EFF. It seems not to have occurred to LFJ that service providers policing content based on personal favours only furthers the argument upheld in the 5th Circuit. Be careful what you wish for, Liz. https://archive.ph/JfpR8 https://ghostarchive.org/archive/quv0w
