Okay, please ignore my tinfoil hat. People are saying this is a honeypot. You're really good at piecing together information about criminals. If those people are right and this site is actually run by the feds, wouldn't it benefit them if criminals visited your website? You said the information you used to narrow down the identity of that one crypto scammer became available when some website admin doxxed all the accounts associated with his cookie. I'm assuming you have admin privileges on your own website, obviously. You can see all of that, too, right? When someone connects to your website, you can see their external IP address, information about their browser (like their user agent and whatnot), etc., right? Do you think that maybe the feds are trying to make it easier for you to track these people? Or am I overthinking this?

Not entirely sure why the MGM Grand darknet market has Krebs On Security mentioned and linked at the bottom of their homepage, but there it is. -
I just thought I'd mention this here, since tragically so few people have ever heard of it: my all-time favorite font is called B612.I just thought I'd mention this here, since tragically so few people have ever heard of it: my all-time favorite font is called B612.
B612 is a free and open source font that was designed from inception for use on aircraft cockpit screens specifically. So it was designed with a significant amount of money behind it, to maintain maximum legibility and minimum eye strain across a wide range of conditions, in other words. I've been using it in status bars, window managers, and as the default font for GTK for a few years now. In my experience, it performs about as well as millions of dollars worth of research would have you believe.
It used to be proprietary, but it's now distributed under open source licenses.
No matter who you are, I implore you to give B612 a try, unless you literally don't want the text on your computer to be extremely legible and/or if you enjoy headaches, in which case please don't. My vision is 20/15 naturally and my main monitor is color correct. I can read font most people can't. Looking somewhere on my screen, expecting to see B612, and seeing some other font instead, still irritates me instantly because that's how good it is.
It's free. There's no reason not to try it.
Thank you.

Fully agree w/ Techdirt; WaPo replacing its normal, functional search box with more AI crap is the worst "innovation" I've seen in a while at my former employer.That's ridiculous. From what I've seen, AI built into a regular search engine is sometimes good, sometimes crap; that's assuming the AI doesn't literally, completely replace whatever was there to begin with, though. I feel like if they're gonna do anything in that regard, they should just leave the search feature exactly how it was, except also start adding one AI result at the top of the page with the option to turn it off. That way, they could start training their AI on data that comes from people actually using their site, for one thing.

Serious question: Is anyone making a list of where it may be possible to purchase a *new* car that isn't just spyware on wheels?If you're gonna go that far, which is awesome, you might as well get one from before noise/emissions regulations were a thing so that it's grandfathered. Look it up for yourself and don't take my word for it, but I wanna say it was 1972. Anyway, just get one that's at least that old, remove the muffler entirely, annoy people. Legally. That's what I'd do, anyway, lol.
