Another question: who owns the domain hexbear.net, pays for the servers and such?

I remember scanning Hexbear ip and finding prometheus running on some port (i informed them on matrix and they closed it all). It's an entry level dedicated server from OVH, Sandy Bridge Xeon i think.

I think we had a Liberapay where people could donate once but I can't find the link anymore

Kinda miss old site layout tbh

Remember when the Hexbear loading icon spinned in steps on a hexagon's edges?

Edit: nvm I found it! https://liberapay.com/hexbear, we should put this in the sidebar again

Also would be cool if someone could confirm that someone still has control over this acct, I can't remember the last time people talked about it

yes that's still the right donation link

As far as exactly who controls the accounts besides "the admin team" I doubt we'll get any info on that, for opsec reasons

CARCOSA posting it recently is all I need for confirmation

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 21 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Honestly yeah, kinda weird that it isnt in the sidebar

[–] Chronicon@hexbear.net 25 points 4 months ago (1 children)
