Not really. Depending on how it works, it can slow down the browser itself due to needing to inspect and change content. Simple URL filters will, if anything, speed it up by blocking you from even trying to download unnecessary or malicious stuff.

There's no reason it would be against the TOS, but there's no particular reason it'd make a good backup either. Youtube doesn't limit its weird, arcane, random-ass mutes and takedowns to public vids. At the very least make sure it's not your only backup.

Well, the files are intact, it's "just" registrar douchiness. Not that that makes it good, by any stretch, but it's not all Alexandria either

If there is, it's not in The Hobbit or LotR itself. Silmarillion is impenetrable to me, so idk.

Actually, that's where it comes from anyway.

Freaking adorable, I love this. And OoT.

Well, way back when, wizard just meant wise man (wise + -ard). The connotation with magic is centuries older than Tolkien, though.

One man's "insane" is another man's "calling that insane is insane"

Only if you literally have AIDS or some other near-complete immune dysfunction.

I guess there just wasn't much to go around, nationally speaking. (Henning Wehn does crack my shit up sometimes though, to be fair)

Shame about this perfectly unavoidable round of terminations, eh? If only something could've been done(!)

Death threats were issued, so the people involved probably don't find it snooze-worthy.
