Hey everyone, today I sadly woke up to a distressing email by my provider, telling me that "Waves Audio Ltd" (http://waves.com) sent them a takedown request about a guide posted to crack their app. This is complete bullshit of course, but the provider threatened to shut off my whole IP address. For now I've taken down the post, but I've also initiated measures to avoid this in the future.

As such, we've now moved this site to be hosted by njal.la which is privacy focused and has a ton of experience handling such issues. Let me know if you notice anything weird during the transition period.

However they are significantly more expensive! As such I've had to adjust our server costs for the next 6 months, and therefore our Ko-fi goal has been re-opened. Please consider donating to ensure this site can survive these particular gray waters we're sailing.

I aim to ensure we are strictly legal, but these companies do not care about the law because they have enough money to bully people.

Remember, do not post direct links and use base64 encoding for any potentially spicy links you post!
