What happened to altdevblogaday.com anyway? It had content similar to this.

  I've been wondering the same thing for a while. I don't know why it just disappeared out of nowhere.

  Isn't it awful when such resources vanish? When Megaupload was destroyed, it was like losing the Library of Alexandria to me. The ATF can't just destroy the entire nation's set of self-storage units because they found drugs or pirate DVDs in some of the units. But that's what happened with Megaupload. Some people lost family photos, some people lost backups of theses... Why couldn't the authorities have taken it over, eliminated illegal content, and turned it over to some sort of Vichy CEO? There need to be protections for data storage customers in a FDIC sort of way, I feel.

    Police (and the like) are paid for capturing criminals, not for doing what is morally right (some hope they are the same thing, but many times it isn't)

      Capturing people doing wrong things by doing wrong things. Strangely consistent.

        This actually not as strange as you'd think: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopoly_on_violence https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopoly_on_violence

          Interesting view, very interesting view.

  It's dead. I remember Mike Acton said something like site had serious technical issues or whatever and since then it's dead.

  First I've heard of it (thanks for mentioning it), but the Wayback Machine seems to have it reasonably intact: https://web.archive.org/web/20140328003222/http://www.altdevblogaday.com https://web.archive.org/web/20140328003222/http://www.altdev...
