So Archive.Today decided to weaponize their visitors' browsers into an involuntary botnet. That circled code at the bottom? Pure chaos. They're using setInterval to repeatedly fire off fetch requests to gyrovague.com with randomized query parameters every 300ms. Classic DDoS-as-a-Service, except the "service" is mandatory for anyone trying to access their site. The beautiful irony? Archive sites exist to preserve content and protect against censorship, yet here they are literally trying to nuke someone's blog off the internet by turning every visitor into an unwitting attack vector. It's like a library burning down another library using its patrons as arsonists. Also notice the Cloudflare CAPTCHA at the top? They're hiding behind DDoS protection while simultaneously launching DDoS attacks. The hypocrisy is *chef's kiss*. That's some next-level "I'm not locked in here with you, you're locked in here with me" energy.
