Very quickly tried to look for sources of this (not using Startpage!), but could not find any. If you have a link, please post it for us.
Privacy Tools lists both Startpage and DuckDuckGo in their Best Private Web Search Engines (if this means anything).
I guess one can never be 100% sure of who's watching... Tor, maybe?
Can't remember but I do remember I trusted the source.

You coming off as somewhat crazy... Binance is currently coopted by the US Govt, under strict surveillance.
Everything is completely on the up-and-up there then, for sure. 
Remind me why we have a distributed peer-to-peer currency again?I was not suggesting that everything at Binance is on the "up and up" but instead that any kind of analysis of the various kinds of shenanigans that might be going on is going to be way more complicated than to say that they are just like FTX, which surely is a lame-ass talking point from previously, and even that earlier talking point was not true.. prior to Binance agreeing to the monitoring arrangement that they are in currently.

A living legend that we like to beat up upon in these here parts, especially when he was pumping some of that BIGblocker bullishit and also BSV.. don't forget so easily how retarded BSV had been the whole time.. what reasonable person could have had taken BSV seriously? even back in when it was first started in late 2018?.. ... .. which is one of the great things in regards to a quasi-anonymous forum in which the contents of your posts might also carry some weight.

Somehow I got logged out. The capchas on this site are ridiculous.
I use a VPN and I find the captchas everywhere ridiculous - especially on Google. I don't think it really has much to do with security... they just want to know exactly who you are and hate it so much when they don't that they want to cause you max pain in hopes you'll give up on privacy. Duckduckgo is my best friend for searches now.
duckduckgo uses google search so I've been using https://www.webcrawler.com

Startpage is also a good choice.

In the world of data storage he was a hero, developer of many systems, storage engineer extraordinaire.
I respect jbreher, and don't doubt (although I do not know the specifics of) his achievements, and I'm similarly obsessed with spelling/grammar (I consider this a positive trait).
However, in my opinion, he was wrong about strongly supporting BCH (Bitcoin Cash, a.k.a. Bcash LOL) and the big-blocker camp, back in 2017. Had I followed his advice, my stash would now be several Bitcoins smaller. I'm so very glad I did not!
You're right. I edited my post to replace "grinch" with "big blocker".
I think he mainly stayed in real Bitcoin though. On his Linkedin page he describes himself as retired but busy with "investment managing".
I guess that's what the Wall Observer is all about: investment managing... managing to have the balls to keep hodling.

It's Haiku Sunday.
I guess I should contribute
Before it's too late.
We're heading toward
Yet another all time high
(Weighted average).
Tomorrow a new
Week begins for ETF
Bitcoin purchasers.
Hopefully that will
Bring us a new all time high
In dollars at 'Stamp.
Let's keep rallying.
We have only just begun.
Go go Bitcoin go.

Yeah, i recognized that after a few storage specific posts. I personally was not aware of the possibility to inject code via harddrive firmware, he was showing competence in these topics and lectured me one time after i wrote a rather naive reply in these regards, if i remember correctly.
The term "hero" triggered me.to remember about Hans Reiser, the creator of Reiser File System, which i used a lot for good performance and journaling reliability in Linux. The standard EXTFS disappointed me a little bit too often in kernel generations 2.2 and 2.4.
But his career had a sudden, sad ending, though. He went in jail for murdering his wife and development stopped.
Time to put my wandering mind to rest. See you tomorrow when Blackrock clients may serve us a new ATH
EDIT: I learned that the SEC delayed their decision about Blackrock's ETH Spot ETF on Monday. Seems i'm not very up to date at the time

They had to delist Monero. The one altcoin that has a reason to be IMHO.

I remember there was a time (maybe early '10s) when you could crack Wi-Fi passwords fairly easily, esp. those of the WEP variety. I did it a few times, mainly to speed up downloading time (run a couple of VMs, each with a Wi-Fi stick connected to a neighbor's cracked Wi-Fi). 3 connections simultaneously downloading stuff. Used Kali Linux to do the cracking. Fun times. Now it's not so easy, probably much harder than I can hope I'm capable of. For my own router, I use a self-chosen, strong password and have all my Wi-Fi devices on the router's MAC-address white list, although I have a feeling all these can easily be defeated by a determined attacker, considering the usually poor f/w programming in those provider-supplied routers.
Indeed. It's not so easy over the air, but if an attacker gets LAN access, there are some more vulnerabilities, especially with branded firmware in WIFI routers, which gets modified by the provider before pushed to the devices, delaying important security fixes.
Sensitive nodes need to run in their own networks, protected by hardware firewalls with IDS if connected to the web. They should not even be connected to any WIFI.
In my case, neighbors are not near enough. Attackers would have to hide on my property to get in WIFI range. I probably would easily get paranoid in a city appartment/flat.
OT: I took the time to measure the dimensions of my custom "laptop holder" in the basement today. I can install any Laptop that is less than 20cm deep, so i can replace the eeePC with an old 12" windows7 netbook from my mother, as soon as i get to her this week. At least the bigger screen will be worth it, while the cheap, slow laptop must be sped up with an internal SSD. Then i can continue with the milling and don't have to rush it to look for a newer windows10/11 Netbook of about the same size. All good.
