Oh brilliant: Meta is now trying to pretend it's taking on its responsability in this fight. A little late and more show than anything else. Especially when you consider where it stands in this development phase: Not in the first row. www.theregister.com/2024/02/27/m...

Quick Cache and Archive Search Due to recent events, I removed Google and a couple of other defunct search engines/archives from Quick Cache and archive search. But remember that there are still dozens of possible ways to find old copies of a web page. cipher387.github.io/quickcachean...

Hey everyone, we had an outage for the past couple hours that put the network into a read-only mode. We're seeing a lot of new signups and some servers hit their limits. We believe we've resolved the issue. Thanks everyone for hanging with us!

Was surfing the internet to find some #OSINT Challenge to kill time and found "ductf2023". Solved 4 OSINT challenge and it was a nice CTF especially challenge "faraday" as this is a interesting challenge which requires JSON knowledge (luckily overpass turbo uses JSON and ChatGPT saves my day :)
