Reddit TIL has the same news issue, which is probably getting mirrored across to here by bots. The elon post was made by a 1w old account with 80+ posts, draw your own conclusions...

Are you sure it wasn't your workplace group policy bringing them back?

Search engines work by building an index over all the sites on the internet. The index and the status of the sites aren't linked, the search engine basically has a cached view of the site.

If the site goes down after it is indexed, DDG won't know about it until the next index.

In case you want an alternative:

https://gchq.github.io/CyberChef/#recipe=Generate_QR_Code%28%27PNG%27%2C5%2C4%2C%27Medium%27%29&input=VGVzdA

The qchq in the url isn't a coincidence, this was created by the British spy agency. It is used fairly commonly amongst cyber security folk, so its been fairly well vetted that its not uploading stuff to their cloud, but you can always load the page, disconnect your network and do what you want with it if you want to be paranoid.

What's the latest in the bedrotting hobbisphere? Any new tips and tricks?

This is well into paranoia territory. Anyone who is willing to either tail you until you have a medical episode or otherwise force the medical episode will have no trouble accessing your phone via more conventional means (kidnap + torture).

If you really want to protect against this "risk", either use a non-standard finger, or don't use biometrics at all.

And if you are likely to have a medical episode, either use your phones built in ICE (in case emergency) feature, wear one of those medical alert bands, or write the ICE numbers on your phone case.

Here's a conspiracy theory: He will miss the targets, but then legally(or otherwise) bully his way into getting the payout anyway. Shareholders are gonna get screwed.

Bear grylls it. More seriously, the water is purified and recycled.

Didn't know that, but makes sense.

if you are from Russia, it is impossible to convince the US that you are not a part of a state-sponsored entity

This quote from your article does nail the problem on the head though.

That would be kinda cool if it were possible. Next time Tonga gets wiped out by a volcano, send the nearby nuclear ships to get them back online.

Experience is the best teacher. Keep writing code, revisit old code and rewrite it.

Also, is worth knowing when not to optimise. Code you can read is code you can maintain, and some optimisations are not as readable.

Learn how to use a profiler. Its a bit of an artform, but learning to interpret the results will help you find slow code sections. It'll also help you determine if your optimisations are actually worthwhile. Measure first, optimise second.

Are you sure it wasn't a phishing email? With stolen creds?
