>HTTrack for any wiki I found useful.

On the Internet Archive you can also find many .warc files which are website backups that can be used for offline viewing.

I agree and I don't care if it's RT or ISIS or China or the Westboro Baptist Church. But the past two years have made it clear that all those lofty, lapidary ideals upon which our so-called free societies are supposedly grounded can be disposed of without the slightest reluctance, so this is no surprise, certainly not from the EU, always busy banning, mandating, regulating and fining everything in its path.

  The bottom line is that when you need to redact text, use black bars covering the whole text. Never use anything else.
That actually may not be enough if you're applying the black bar to compressed image data like JPEG because compression artifacts surrounding the black bar can be leaking information about the covert data.

The COVID interviews are with highly credentialed professionals, and are quite reasonable, honest and nuanced, far more so than the insane corporate media 24/7 propaganda machine that relies on repetition and histrionics to get everyone's opinions aligned.

I suggest everyone with an open mind to listen to them, they're on Rumble and elsewhere.

  GPT-NeoX-20B will be publicly downloadable from The Eye on the 9th of February.
The Eye as in the-eye.eu? That site has been down for a long time.
