But of course it never came out.
Sorry if it’s in the article, I can’t access it either
What bots are using Apple Private Relay?
I ask primarily because we explicitly don't use any trackers, to a degree I actually pride myself on running a website that doesn't contact anything else: https://mini.xkeeper.net/private/C58L77azpY.png
The sole exceptions are YouTube embeds, afaik. I even switched out the MediaWiki and CC badges to be local.
I also have 924 kilobyte of data stored on my device after visiting tcrf.net without any consent.

instead of letting your device’s defaults decide who you are,
and then telling all of us about it.
The story has not changed much. Every so often I will remove most of the blocks put in place, and within a few hours I'm back to having to block them. Many of the cheaper VPNs are also hosted on AWS / Google Cloud / Azure (or other cloud providers), which are also unilaterally blocked.
I would much prefer we did not have to do this, but it is what it is.
And you as a site operator can't really tell apart skiddies, griefers, AI scrapers and legitimate users apart any more.
Or I guess you can just DENY ALL.

403 Forbidden
You are unable to access this site.
Sorry, you are not allowed to access tcrf.net right now.
If you are using a VPN, try disabling it first. We block many VPNs because of abuse.
If that does not work, the block may be due to one of the following reasons:
You are connecting using a network we have blocked. Your connection is still using a VPN or proxy (incl. Apple Private Wi-Fi, CloudFlare relays, etc.) You are a badly-behaving or unwelcome bot (ChatGPT, bingbot, yandex, etc.) You are using a badly-behaving extension (eg. Imagus, etc) that is trying to load every single version of a file in the background If you were able to view pages before, and this error message has suddenly appeared in place of what you were expecting, make sure you are not running any extensions or tools that are attempting to download everything at once. It is possible you were manually blocked, and it might be removed soon. If not, well, sorry.
If this page always apppeared, there is likely not a lot you can do. If you are using a VPN, turn off your VPN and try again.
Sorry for the trouble. We have been under a long-running DDoS attack.
Only four comments are about the content of the article, and none of them really go into depth.
This has been at the top of HN all day. If people can't see it, what gives?
But for people who can't see the article, it could be anything! For all they know, they're being kept out of the greatest content of all time!
As for "what gives", I have no idea. The article itself isn't interesting and doesn't contain much of value; the "game" itself is what is interesting, but that's not what the article is there to cover.
So my guess is it's just only the people who can't see it, because for others there's not really much to discuss. I don't know why this was even posted here, to be honest.
