They could’ve just asked nicely I guess. But who even knows if it really was for academic research…

Capital letter at the start. Numbers at the end. Exclamation point at the very end.
It’s scary that this is a pattern so many of us does instinctually.
It’s a good thing I began using KeePassXC 2 years ago…

I tried reading up on this whole thing, and my understanding is that Gyrovague, tired of archive.today bypassing paywalls, decided to dox who the owner of archive.today is. Counterarguments that the info “was already out there” was made, yada yada, and then Gyrovague’s blog began getting DDoS’ed and edits on archive.today would replace names with Gyrovague’s to make them appear as someone into CSAM.
DDoS’ing is a bit childish, but it’s the internet, what weapons besides it do you really have… Oh right, if you’re an archiving site like archive.today is, I guess you could tamper with all your data to make it appear as if the person you’re DDoS’ing is a pedophile… Riiight.
So there’s no way of trusting the accuracy of the data on archive.today anymore, it’s literally tainted, talk about shooting oneself in the foot, or perhaps more apt: Cutting off one’s nose to spite one’s face.
I write part of the command then ctrl+r. Using FZF mind you. Such a great utility.

I had my paypal account deleted back in 2011 due to the wikileaks witch hunt at that time. Paypal was withholding money going from a crowdfunding campaign to Julian Assange. In hindsight, that should’ve been Europe’s wake-up call, but of course, who could’ve seen the looming cliff behind a handsome fella like Obama.
