I don't know why Google and Cloudflare provide this service and I don't really care, because it's irrelevant. DoH is first of all a protocol. If you run your own DNS resolver at home, surely you'll be able to run your ow

Internet is full of quacks. Alarming titles indicate quacks more than they indicate actual crisis and we don't have time to check the credentials and the work of the people involved to assess their credibility. Also facts speak for the

First of all we are not talking about the trustworthiness of VPNs, that's a separate discussion entirely. And no, I don't trust my ISP more than I trust my VPN, but I understand your mistrust as VPNs are indeed not so private as t

Comparing guns to food is also completely ridiculous. FYI 100 grams of walnuts has 654 kcal, roughly equivalent to 350 grams of French fries, or... 400 grams of chicken breast, which also happens to have 124 grams of protein, which no natur

What do you mean by " historically correct "? You mean blaming sugar or meat when historically people started eating too much, in the 20th century, due to food availability?

In absence of a caloric surplus / chronic overfeeding, also known as energy poisoning , you have absolutely no proof for the claim. There isn't even an association, let alone causation. And it would be naive to think that elimina
