Near was an inspiration with their archival emulator work, and influenced my interest in this topic enormously (╥﹏╥)

    I wouldn't be so sure. If something really bad happens, the police will almost certainly uncover the precise identity of the hoster.

      Agreed. Especially given that the server is in the US. Ideally we wouldn’t have to wait for an act of terrorism before the site comes down.
