Maybe most smaller ones have hosted both things separately, e.g… with a dedicated minecraft server hoster and a common website-building+hosting service, and don’t want to run an extra server for a proxy just for this.
With bigger servers (eg. Hypixel, 2b2t) or selfhosted servers (eg. mine), everything is on the same physical (or virtual) machine anyway and therefore everything has the same address, so you wouldn’t even need a proxy.
I always found it weird for people to recommend BitWarden … it just FELT like a company that’ll go completely off track sooner or later. And it did. Oh wonder. KeePass ftw!
I use rsync to incrementally back up / to a separate drive, as well as a drive on another device (my server), which then packs, compresses and encrypts the latest backup of all devices daily, and uploads them to Hetzner as well as GDrive.
Ok, but WHICH site did they take down? Any names or links?
🤦♂️
Any name of the website, for reference, or any links to further statements? Just because our police claim they achieved something does not mean I believe them at all. And even if they actually took down something, a forum style site very likely means all content was hosted externally. Essentially, the site could be rebuilt in a few days in that case.
Just stating “we took down some bad CP site” without ANY further explanation is worthless, because websites and especially darknet services are much more complicated than there being a single server, you plug that off and you saved the day. If “the internet never forgets”, the darknet even gains from such events. Each piece of content will be locally stored by at least a dozen of the hundreds of thousand of members. And after that, it will be uploaded to new services (if it wasn’t just spread out to dozens of 3rd parties anyway), and more people will download it. So the situation could be worse now. Doesn’t matter for the stats and publicity of course. But being able to comprehend their claims and actions would at least give one either the satisfaction that cops achieved something and those fuckers were taken down, or another reason for facepalm.
The most important thing with such an event here is transparency. And in history, recently and nearly a century ago, it’s not like blindly believing cops was a good option.
If you want to actually replicate one to one - any distro, and use dd or netcat to transfer the root partition. Reinstall the bootloader, update BLKIDs and you’re done. Worked for me multiple times.
