from the self-post dept.

I just get a page with a loading spinner and 5-second refresh/retry-after headers

I get the same spinner as well. I'm curious if it's related to: https://www.404media.co/fbi-tries-to-unmask-owner-of-infamou...

Yep, could be maintenance but could also be related to the subpoena.

same, even over tor

interesting that the spanner is a base64 gif in the source, not a separate file

Embedding images into HTML to reduce the number of requests is typical for Tor hidden services. See how often it occurs in the HTTP response dumps at https://rnsaffn.com/zg4/ It's very common.

This is probably the most useful website of mine in daily life.

I would hate to see it disappear.
