I regularly go to Dark.fail[0] to get the latest .onions some sites are using, like the BBC:

    https://www.bbcnewsd73hkzno2ini43t4gblxvycyac5aw4gnv7t2rccijh7745uqd.onion

Just be careful out there. All I have to do is alter one letter for the BBC .onion and I can get phished/scammed/duped. For example, this is an altered .onion for BBC:

    https://www.bbcnewsd73hkzno2ini43t4gblxvycyac5aw4gnv7t2rccijh7746uqd.onion

Can you spot the alteration?

How does the PGP verif work? I'm not used to it. There exists a tool here[1] but how does it all work?

I scooped up a bunch of non-smart HP printers from car boot sales over the years in preparation for this nonsense.

You can determine if they're sloppy and just want the project rushed out the door. Kludgy code is actually fun to read.
