It’s been down for a couple of days now. Did they change URL? Maintenance? Death?

This is not the first time this has happened, so it is probably temporary.

Also, the .onion of the site still works.

Remember that to access the .onion you need to first decode the text I send (without the Lemmy URL) with a tool like Base64 and use the Tor browser.

Edit: They also have a Mastodon account where they keep actively informing about the situation of the site, just 11 hours ago they said they have a problem that they cannot solve.

Mastodon account just posted saying they found the issue and it will be fixed later.

Hmm, tried to decide with Base64 and it came out as mostly gibberish. Can you confirm?

EDIT

Still can't figure it out lol

Onion links are typically mostly gibberish

Hmm, it seems like unusable gibberish. I let Base64 auto detect and it seems close but still garbage.

I just learned of this site through this post. I hope it comes back.

I wondered what was going on. I’ve also been getting constant “archive damaged” messages on downloads.

Wow I didn't know this site was still around. I thought it shut down like 4 years ago
