What to Do If the Techrights Web Site is Offline

Screenshot Techrights Full IPFS Index



Summary: Even if, for whatever reason, Techrights becomes unavailable there are several other ways to retrieve pages (independently from the site) and then share them in a P2P fashion

WE have come under many DDOS attacks lately (as recently as yesterday) and we monitor the site closely to make sure every section remains available for the majority of the time.



If for whatever reason the site cannot be reached, contingencies do exist. First of all, there's gemini:// protocol (we're at gemini://gemini.techrights.org) and secondly, perhaps more importantly, we're on the decentralised Web, with a full index available over Gemini, not just the Web.

"Shown above is an example of the hashes one needs to feed to IPFS in order to retreive bulletins, IRC logs etc."Instructions on how to use these are available in many places (it's well documented), but it's important to understand that a Gemini capsule (or safe harbour) does exist and we recently added to it an index of all EPO articles. We did that over this past weekend.

Shown above is an example of the hashes one needs to feed into IPFS in order to retreive bulletins, IRC logs etc. Don't be intimidated by the looks of them; think of them as barcodes.
