  • Maybe I should clarify - I’m not a fan of human noise (there’s probably a more precise term) - I’m more in favour of privacy/anonymity in the midst of actual, randomized noise, that isn’t just random human activity.

    I don’t even mean t shirts with a logo. It could’ve been a pair of jeans on a specific date at a place in conjunction with 5 other (random obfuscated) things that a poi also happened to do. Like googled ‘how to fold a swan’ or whatever.

    Even if you didn’t do these things but was instead random generated traffic, it would generate unnecessary attention.

    One might argue that if enough people adopted such methods, authorities would have too many leads to follow up. But then again, the chances of a random string of generated activity coinciding with that of a poi isn’t high, so there likely will be a manageable number of leads.

    Even if the number were higher, they have proven to have no qualms about skipping due process. As long as they might’ve gotten the actual poi, they have no problems subjecting many more unrelated to the same treatment because everyone is some sort of terrorist now.

    They could also arrest you just because you have higher than normal randomized traffic and activity that you can’t or won’t answer for.

    “Why did you search how to fix a sink leak and then how to fold a parachute within 2 minutes of each other?? You must be a terrorist generating random activity to hide your true actions. What do you have to hide?” - “found coke stuffed in all the couches and beds boss”








  • I’ve dealt with this exact issue. Increasing font size (increasing smallest feature size) helps. As does printing the letters first, as you have found. Although sometimes the letters dislodge and become floating letters a la Alice in wonderland. Depends on your bed adhesion.

    Then linewidth on the perimeter touching the letter is something you could look into. (Reducing linewidth to reduce overlap/bleed)

    It won’t be one magic solution, rather a combination of several factors all contributing to a more acceptable result.
