More lost keys…

From a reddit post:

Just seen this on IRC:

“the TLDR is basically: Best case, site comes back up we continue and change things in the backend, okay case, site is down for a little bit while we rebuild backend with likely a new domain, and worst case we close out and refugee you all elsewhere (we might still do this last part too hook up the community even if we are working on the backend”

ETA: IRC admin wrote “I’m currently trying to set up a place where refugees can go to”

ETA2: As far as I understand, someone went away and I quote “without the return of (this person), AR’s continued existence is up in the air, we are attempting to work on solutions but he unfortunately seemed to hold more keys to the castle than we were fully aware.”

2024-02-06 update:

Hey AR Community,

It’s been a stressfull few days.

We are diligently working in the background to try to avoid issues like the last few days going forward. We are also working to establish a more robust backend that doesn’t depend on any single point of people failure.

Keep an eye out for changes and thanks for sticking with us as we get over the bumpy road ahead. Yes we know certain things are not working, we are working on it.

Most of all and above all else, I want to thank our community and our committed members. The out pouring of love has been incredible. The amount of love shown by everyone in this turbulent time has been eye opening to say the least.

Thanks

AR Staff

    Am I the only one who doesn’t give a shit about private trackers?

    Why are you trying to restrict the people you can share with, lol.

      Trackers should get built on a distributed platform like the fediverse too so stuff like this can’t take them down.

          I meant for the web front end portion of the trackers. The part the users browse.

            Yeah I’ve always wondered that. I haven’t found any “forum” that can be hosted (and moderated) fully p2p. I’m unsure how to build it either. Ideally you’d want something like an imdb so you’d need revision control with keys who can edit what and forks maybe and moderator privileges and caching.
