Not sure what you mean. When I click the link on my post, it goes to where I intended. Note that I removed an errant period at the end of the URL about an hour ago.

Thank you, fixed.

I think that it’s going to take societal change to stop this from being the norm. In Australia there was a road safety campaign with the slogan:
“Speeding. No one thinks big of you.”
It essentially compared speeding with having a small penis, by using the metaphor of a wiggling pinkie, and thus embarrassing perpetrators.

Can you elaborate why you think that your comment requires a sarcasm tag?
I’m asking because getting the reader to contribute some CPU cycles whilst they read your content seems to be a way to balance the books, they get something from you, you get something from them.
Note that I’m not a fan of Bitcoin et. al., but the idea of making the reader’s computer calculate something or process something on the authors’ behalf seems, at least at first glance, a valid and potentially unobtrusive transaction.

You can scrap Logan Roy and Don Draper as “Professional” is not a word that should be used in connection with either.

- Comment on 14,000 routers are infected by malware that's highly resistant to takedowns 1 month ago:
14,000 sounds like a big number, until you realise that there’s many millions of routers. Asus is not known for backbone routing, so while this might be happening, you have to ask yourself, is this the biggest threat across the internet, or is this article intended to serve another interest?
