So the mysterious person behind archive.today is very likely to be "Masha Rabinovich." A 2023 investigation from Jani Patokallio theorized this much
However recently a few things happened over the past few days. A HN user noticed that archive.today visitors are being used in a botnet staging a DDoS attack against Jani's website, and Jani has received a bogus C&D.
Who was the HN user who noticed this? Well... 🧵

The HN thread discovering this covert attempt was posted by no other than "rabinovich", a user which shares the name of the POI: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46624740
Furthermore, the Masharabinovich Wikipedia account has reactivated for the first time in 10 years to purge their talk page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Masharabinovich
Now, we still don't know if this Masha Rabinovich is an alias, but the evidence that this person is indeed the creator of archive.is is too great to ignore, and clearly Jani touched a nerve 🧵

@soapdog that's a nontrivial downside. I don't suppose it would be possible to add a “merge” feature to the storage? Sohen you only post from one of the machines, in the others it'd just “fast forward” to the latest when they have the possibility to sync, and if they can only sync after having posts on both sides you'd get a “branching” history with sync points? In contrast to revision control systems, there would be no need to worry about conflicts.

@barfly dai! ci sta solo ballando da qualche mese, mi sembra un po' presto per scambiarsi informazioni private come il proprio nome reale!

Meglio tardi che mai. Ma se questa decisione non è coadiuvata dall'invio delle armi necessarie all'#Ucraina è solo un costo. E a proposito di Difesa: ieri sono stati stanziati i prestiti SAFE (Security Action for Europe) per 8 Paesi #EU: all'Italia 14,9 miliardi. Speriamo di non sputtanarli.

Io so che da luglio dovrebbe entrare in vigore l'equivalente UE, molto più efficace del singolo stato, non vedo il motivo di questa anticipazione solitaria.
