I always found it funny how scuba divers need to adjust their buoyancy control device to account for their flatulence.. Like if you are perfectly neutral and you fart you will start to noticeably sink if you dont readjust your buoyancy controls.

@freemo I seem to remember the need to adjust the BCD was a problem before getting breathing under control, granted, farting could give you some propulsion.

This is really interesting. They colorized a photo by overlaying some lines in a grid and ONLY adding color to the lines but over-saturating the color. The rest of the image is black and white.

The result is that at a distance or in the thumbnail it just looks like an ordinary color photo. It is only when you look up close you notice what is going on.

The Onion URL you provided is 63 characters long (not counting the .onion part).

Specifically the first '.' after 'sercxi' there looks wrong, hidden services Onion URL is a key plus the ".onion" part, and that key will fail.

@resist1984 @otso I'm not using Tor browsers, using Chromium over Tor daemon. There is a '.' in the URL, that looks wrong to me, and it doesn't load.

@resist1984 That Onion URL must be broken, can't load it over Tor. Anyway, I guess that's one way to do it, still prefer a warning so the visitor knows HTTPS to this site is MITMed.

In case anyone was wondering, Weinberg is a pushover with no constitution. I once asked him why #DuckDuckGo doesn't filter out privacy-abusing #Cloudflare sites & it triggered him. He had no sound defense.. no good answer for it. It's clear that he simply does not have the guts to truly deliver a privacy-respecting search engine. He's fixated on serving normies who are privacy-naive.

@resist1984 Perhaps a Cloudflare MITM warning instead of filtering out the sites completely from search results? I think warnings about MITM for HTTPS is much more relevant than the common site cookie warnings.
