COOL WAY TO HIDE AN EMAIL ADDRESS ON A WEBSITE

Tuesday, Dec 14, 2021   Post   94 words   1 min read

Here is a simple and cool way to hide your contact email address on a website.
Basically I’m using the unicode-bidi and direction CSS properties to change the
direction of text from ltr (left to right) to rtl (right to left). Browsers that
don’t support the unicode-bidi property will see the email inverted so that
might be a problem.

<style>
span.email-obfuscated {
	unicode-bidi: bidi-override;
	direction: rtl;
}
</style>
<p>You can contact me at <span class="email-obfuscated">won.erehw@ohw</span>.</p>


The output will be:

HIDE POSTS FROM STARTUP NEWS

Tuesday, Dec 14, 2021   Post   219 words   2 mins read

Though I’m not reading Startup News anymore (thanks JWZ for the image), someone
asked me if there is a simple way to use uBlock Origin to hide all posts from
someone, so here is a quick mockup for hiding posts from the orange site, posts
that belong to a specific user or from a specific domain.

You will need uBlock Origin for this.

HIDE POSTS FROM AN USER

news.ycombinator.com##table tr tr:has-text(giuliomagnifico):nth-ancestor(2)
news.ycombinator.com##table tr tr:has-text(giuliomagnifico):nth-ancestor(2):xpath(./following-sibling::tr[1])
news.ycombinator.com##table tr tr:has-text(giuliomagnifico):nth-ancestor(2):xpath(./preceding-sibling::tr[1])


Replace giuliomagnifico with the name of the user who should have all his posts
hidden.

KWANGMYONG (NORTH KOREA'S INTRANET) ADDRESSES (AND MORE)

Saturday, Dec 11, 2021   Post   1179 words   6 mins read

Kwangmyong is a North Korean national intranet service opened in the early
2000s. The Kwangmyong intranet system stands in contrast to the global Internet
in North Korea, which is available to fewer people in the country.

The websites are not accessible from outside of North Korea, though some of them
are mirrored on a separate IP space. ✓ means you can access the website.

Note

This is work in progress, hold your horses.

JULIAN ASSANGE CAN BE EXTRADITED TO THE US, COURT RULES

This is beyond ironic. The United States of America has been bullying and
strong-arming the whole globe for over a century, toppled democratic regimes
(from Mohammad Mosaddegh to Salvador Allende and on), had supported countless
dictators in their countries with funds and arms, treated Latin American
countries as banana republics, has invaded and occupied four countries just in
the last 20 years (plus countless bombings), keeps torture camps (from Abu
Ghraib to Guantanamo), and maintains hundreds of army bases all over the world,
not to mention global surveillance. It’s the only country in the world that used
nuclear bombs in wars, and on civilians nonetheless.

The USA is sending a signal but fortunately, the world is not unipolar. There
are China, Russia, Iran. You know, the “bad guys”. By the way, did you hear that
the driver of the Kim Jong Un’s uncle used a rubber dildo to bludgeon one of his
enemies to death? You did not? I guess you’re not reading enough of the free
press, like, you know, Reuters, Washington Post, NY Post, BBC, The Guardian and
their ilk.

Not sure what else to say. We’re on the wrong side of history and future humans
will look at us the same way we’re looking at Germany in WWII. We’re just
following orders.

Update

EU cares a lot about the “censorship, intimidation and surveillance of
journalists” too. Only the Chinese ones though . Not Julian Assange.
