National Public Data is back online. Protect your privacy from it now - and check if other people-search sites have your information.

Over a year ago, National Public Data (NPD), a search site for people, earned a place in privacy infamy for a security breach that revealed the personal data of 3 billion individuals (that's billion with a "b"). Now, after disappearing, NPD is back. As ZDNET sister publication PCMag reported, NPD is open for snooping again under a new owner, the rather mysterious-sounding Perfect Privacy LLC.

Oh boy. Better head over to nationalpublicdata.com and see if your profile is there. Then follow the handy instructions in the ZDNET article to have yourself removed:

How to remove your information from NPD

Search your name on nationalpublicdata.com.

When you find your profile, click "View Full Profile."

Copy its URL.

Go to nationalpublicdata.com/optout.html.

Drop the URL into the "Your Profile Link" field and click "Request Removal."

Enter an email address, and the site will send you an email requesting that you click to confirm deletion.

You'll need a separate email address for each profile you want to delete.

Are you listed at the National Public Database site?

I was, and it was accurate. I requested removal.

I was, but it was only somewhat accurate. I requested removal.

I was, but everything was wrong. I requested removal.

I am. I tried to remove myself but it didn't work.

Never looked, don't plan to.

I’ve been thinking about how seeing snow for the very first time since getting back from Skandia must have been a pretty emotionally complex experience for Will (especially if, let’s say, he liked snow before). And I’ve been (yet again) getting frustrated with how little the trauma of everything that’s happened to him (and at such a young age!!!) has actually been explored in the books, let alone the nuances of it. So, yeah, if he broke down a little at the sight of something reminding him of how his youth/innocence has been ripped away from him far too soon, I wouldn’t blame him and I’m sure Halt wouldn’t either. In this essay I will-

Ranger Gathering 2025 - 4. runes

Will being unprofessional because he couldn't resist to add "xoxo" at the end of the message is extremely funny to me

Last chapter of Oakleaf Bearers, big reunion and still banished Halt. Scene requested by @/pechoraflow :]

Couldn't figure out how to draw this in one picture so there's a comic, sort of.

I just think abt Ranger’s Apprentice all the time

silveroakleafdeer

Will's first day of the ranger apprenticeship.

I love the scene when Halt is reading some reports, he's musing to himself and Will starts asking him questions. And Halt, for the first time, actually answers them :]

#this is stunning 💛

Halt leaving Château Montsombre in slow motion at the end of The Icebound Land.

#oooh I love this

Find the Ranger(s) LOL

#I LOVE THIS #super clever 12/10

This line implies that Gilan has a history of sleepwalking and I for one LOVE the idea of that

Find it incredibly funny that in the first two books of Ranger's Apprentice the main antagonist is a guy with a psychic link to a bunch of bear-like monsters and then several books later one of the plot points is "magic isn't real you idiot"

One of my favourite things in Craltine dynamic to think about is how Crowley and Pauline talk with each other.

We know that no living human is capable of winning an argument with Pauline, yeah. And we also know (if I remember correctly it’s said in TYE 1) that in Halt’s opinion it’s really difficult to win in a conversation with Crowley, because he always knows what to say.

So knowing Crowley as a chatterbox and intelligent man, sometimes working in a diplomatic-ish ways too... and knowing Pauline, we're talking here about hours of serious debates over who is making a dinner today, all the deep, meaningfull topics, all the casual ones, all the fun making and all the almost fighting between them, because they both can talk.

And next to them is Halt, who made dinner that day, has no deep meaningfull dilemmas to talk about, and sometimes loves watching them talk, but most often he asks himself in the moments like that why the hell did he find himself not one talkative partner, but two.

And Crowline (?) are still talking, in a elegant, professional way, until Crowley makes one joke too many and Pauline threatenes to kick out his chair from under his ass.

Just another peaceful evening, yay

“oh they’re not taking away chronological dashboard, well everything’s okay then” they also said in the post they’re making reblogs collapsed (like comments on twitter) so you won’t see the full conversation in a post. they also won’t get rid of tumblr live despite it being an annoying and cancerous data-miner that isn’t legal in much of the world. they won’t even let you opt out of tumblr live for more than seven days. they implemented a terrible photo viewer that mimics tiktok and makes it so you can’t zoom in on images. they took away the ability to view prev tags. they’re making it so you have to sign in with your email to view almost any thing on tumblr. they’ve already made it so you have to sign in to send asks, even on anon. they’re slowly phasing out custom blog themes.

the things that make tumblr at all usable and favored by us– the older web blog features, the anonymity– that is still being taken away. it HAS been being taken away for some time now. i am urging you people to reveiwbomb the tumblr app. force them to acknowledge that users do not like these changes.

Good news! You can let Tumblr Staff know what you think about every version of Tumblr in a way that they might listen to! Here is a long survey from a blog associated with Staff and here is a short survey from the same blog. The blog, although full of surveys, does not allow reblogs. However, I took the long survey and later they improved one thing I complained about, so there is a chance more people complaining about changes could halt their enshittification. I cannot retake the surveys, so I must ask you all to send feedback where I cannot.
