Content updates, 29-Nov-2018

The following new articles were added:

Ethan Huff and the Green Swastika : Ethan, who writes for Natural News, is an idiot regarding Germany’s role in WW2, the same as Mike “The Health Ranger” Adams is, the founder (or so i assume) of NN. He recently ‘penned’ an article titled The Green Swastika: Environmentalism was a pillar of the Third Reich, the content of which is far more absurd than its absurd title reveals. Ethan gets nearly everything wrong and provably so, and, as usual, i pull fewer than zero punches when addressing such mindless ignorance.

Resources for research : This is just a list of web resources which i’ve used for researching various stuff that i write about. I though i’d share it. Cause i’m like that.

VPS host review: Pride Tech Design : This website is currently hosted by Pride Tech and i wanted to write a review about their service in order to con everyone into signing up with them so i can start raking in piles of kickback cash from Simba at PTD. Either that, or i’ve written a reasonably neutral review of possibly one of the best VPS server hosts on this side of the Milky Way that i’m aware of. You decide.

News : I added a News page which is a collection of RSS/ATOM feeds. Several categories are included, but it’s mostly world and specialized news.

The following articles were updated:

How to access RSS feeds for websites that don’t advertise one : Some added information and polishing.

Alternative Search Engines That Respect Your Privacy : unbubble.eu was added to the list and the article underwent the application of some polish (and likely the correction of spellin’ errors).

Take the Jewish Holocaust Quiz! : The quiz was handled by a plugin that hasn’t been updated in years and so i dropped it and stuck the quiz on a regular page. It has also been updated.

A personal perspective: From Windows to Linux to Windows to Linux to… : I re-titled the article and applied some polish.

Firefox Search Engine Cautions, Recommendations : This article underwent some minor changes and an updated search.json.mozlz4 file for Firefox was uploaded.

Firefox Extensions – My Picks : I dumped all of the legacy (XUL) add-ons, swapped out some add-ons with other ones and added several new add-ons to the additional functionality list.

Video: The Real Manchurian Candidate

From the video description:

Was Sirhan Sirhan hypnotically programmed to assassinate Bobby Kennedy? For the last eleven years, Dr. Daniel Brown, a leading expert on hypnosis and coercive persuasion at Harvard Medical School, and Sirhan’s attorney Laurie Dusek, have spent over 150 hours with Sirhan, trying to recover his memory of the shooting. These sessions have produced some extraordinary new evidence of the “range mode” programming allegedly used to set up Sirhan as the lone assassin. On the 50th anniversary of the assassination, you can now watch Brown and Dusek discuss these new discoveries for the first time.

Article update: Alternative Search Engines That Respect Your Privacy

The article, Alternative Search Engines That Respect Your Privacy, was updated. More information was added for most of the search engines and a few errors and links were corrected. Sadly, Findx, which was based on the Gigablast code, was removed from the list since they ceased operations. Interestingly, Brian Rasmusson, the founder of Findx, disclosed that basing the Findx code on the Gigablast code was a significant mistake. He also detailed a list of other interesting problems the company faced in a final parting post, Goodbye – Findx is shutting down. The post is well worth reading for both end users that are interested in alternative search engines as well as developers who are interested in creating a new service.
