  • I’ve used Optery since they posted on Hacker News a few years ago. Really satisfied with them - I get quarterly reports that show screenshots of my information being found on a site, then the same site and search not showing results after they’ve finished the takedown. The spot checks I’ve done myself show the same. Can’t find me by phone number, name, etc.

    They have different tiered plans and over time I’ve upgraded my account to the top one for a few hundred per year just for extra peace of mind and to support them. Their plans range from $3.99/mo to $24.99/mo.















  • Am Texan. While it’s a fun little thing to kind of be proud of - that Texas was its own country before joining the United States - we stopped being a country for a reason. And today we are 100% less capable of independence from the United States compared to then.

    We are taught “We can opt out of the United States whenever we want to. Other states can’t because they weren’t their own countries beforehand.” as a fun fact in 7th grade (Texas History) and no one seems to clarify that we can’t to the students or later in life when they’re grown ass adults. But by then, most refuse to believe it… like they do with most inconvenient facts.

    sigh.
