Adding 'https://www.surveillancewatch.io/noise-anim.gif' to your favourite rule-based adblocker fixes this.

The stupid dancing fuzz filter across the entire website renders the content almost completely illegible, and is a struggle to read. Shame.

Rather than seeking an impossible ideal (>2 people who agree on what 'good' code is)-- instead read ALL sorts of code. This will then help you learn to distinguish between what is good and not good, and what makes it so. Simplicity, clarity, and lack of surprise come to mind as concepts for 'good'. Others will have different ideas.

Looking at a local privilege escalation (on some systems) that works due to a logic bug in readline, when used with SUID programs.

Find a new provider that won't randomly shaft you for spurious reasons.

It frustrates me that the tech scene seems to accept such behaviours as smoking weed quite easily. Note the numerous replies to your comment clamouring to it's defence!

I've not known a single long-term user of cannabis to be a happy, healthy adult. Quite the opposite. I think the dangers of cannabis are quite understated and the current trend toward mass-legislation concerns me. It should be noted that I live in England, where we are renown for having stronger strains... This perhaps affects my outlook.
