Monero Observer is back, new PrivSec.Guide project launched

The break took longer than expected but I didn’t allocate this entire time to rest - although I do feel recharged and ready to resume my daily reporting.

I have also been busy updating most of my guides and moving them to a new dedicated project: PrivSec.Guide1.

The plan is to create, grow and maintain a comprehensive library containing privacy and security guides in the future, depending on community interest. Although every guide is rigorously tested locally on my own hardware and that process takes a considerable amount of time, I think it’s worth the effort in the long-run.

Thanks to this move Monero Observer will almost 100% focus on news reporting, while PSG will serve as a constant reminder for me to create new guides - which will now have improved visibility.

Overview

* (new) PSG dedicated to privacy and security guides
* MO to focus almost exclusively on news reports
* MO: added a new on-demand featured top section (pin ttl tbd)
* MO: updated reports, sections, pages and tags
* MO: CSS changes & improvements
	* consolidated dark theme
	* clickable CM section
	* various other improvements
* (tba) MO: reporting expansion 
* (tba) MO: new digest report format 

Expect a MO expansion into adjacent privacy and security-related breaking news to happen in the near future and keep an eye on [meta] for other interesting updates coming to Monero Observer.

Thanks for reading. Feels great to be back!

Onward.
