Failing in Ukraine… so Russia will now also provoke a heavily armed NATO country, and neighbour to Ukraine: Poland.

No. Serious doubt this is real.

It was a pretty big shift for me when I realized that a big part of my mood was tied to my sensory load. Using tools like earplugs or shades makes life go better when my nervous system decides to flare up and make everything loud, bright and annoying.

OK, yeah I will give these a shot. I really don’t like the disposable factor of the earplugs, but the 3M ones I likes are the only ones that arent uncomfortable and fit well. If i can find a reusable that does the same job, I’d like that.

I fricken loved this aspect of the COVID times. People were so much more friendly toward me by default when we all wore masks.

These are the things that help me: Earplugs. I prefer these ones https://www.amazon.ca/3M-Non-corded-Disposable-Earplugs-Pairs/dp/B000I7LH8Y but you might have some luck with Loops as well. I would like those except they don’t fit one of my ears very well.

Light-filtering Glasses. Sunglasses are good for outdooes, but I also have a pair of FL-41 coated glasses. They are meant for migraine sufferers, but I swear they make processing easier when I wear them. https://www.theraspecs.com/fl-41-glasses/

Stop trying to live your life according to the standard, accepted template. It’s really important to decide what you value in life and reject the judgments of others. You have to figure out how to be okay with, or enjoy, being outcast. It’s not so bad once you figure that out. https://www.amazon.ca/Courage-Be-Disliked-Phenomenon-Happiness/dp/1668069539

Can you give an example? I don’t quite understand.

Oh, so you agree with me then? This is effectively the problem that I’m pointing to.

We have so many natural resourced that we could make into products. The wholesale of raw materials to other countries is the stupidity.

Just stop all that. We can, and should, make high-quality goods.

You need to care about how others are feeling. Understanding what it is they are feeling and why, using mainly non-verbal cues, is the hard part.

Fuck what others think, though. You really don’t wanna get wrapped up in that.

I’ve gotten a lot better with this by understanding that I don’t always need to share (or even have) an opinion on things. In fact, actively choosing not to have an opinion on the things that don’t need one is pretty healthy.

It’s so much easier to just shrug than make up a lie of any kind.

OK. Well then pay cheeto-man his bribe and get your own subsidy. it’s not hard to figure it out.

Crank the dial up to 11 and then break it off trying to go past that.

Yes. I had one on my ankle last year. I think I paid $200. That wasn’t even to the hospital, is was for my crutches and aircast at the pharmacy.

Coil whine. Especially if it ends up triggering an acute tinnitus flare up, which is like coil whine times a million

Gadamyu.

Reluctantly upvoted.

I feel like its a green flag, seeing that cartoon jackal-girl pop up with the magnifying glass for a second.

It’s surely not universally the case but it’s a positive sign to me.

Cloudflare is the SSL/TLS endpoint between you and the application.

When you use Cloudflare, data is encrypted between a client and Cloudflare (using ‘their’ SSL cert), they unencrypt it and inspect so they can process it, caching etc, then it’ can be encrypted between Cloudflare and the backend using your own backend certificate.

So Cloudflare can see everything, its required for them to do what they do

This is such a fundamentally stupid idea in the first place. It proves the legislators are thoughtless morons on the subject.

Yes, lets compell ALL providers to create and maintain very desirable targets (dossiers of user’s personal data and all activity) and also compell access for the incompetent RCMP to get it whenever they like. Let’s also understand that Canada has already passed a law to make sure they can never be held responsible if they fail to properly protect that data on their end.

Oh don’t forget, they don’t mind at all if the providers give them MORE than they ask for, volunarily. Nothing weird about that, I’m sure that explicitly stated and intentionally placed soft spot will never be misused. They are going to take all this data, and shove it into an LLM and then god-knows-what.

I guess now I get serious about I2P and other options to move my activity off the surface web, given that VPNs will be pointless now. And so I need to think about what of my online activity that I can accept the government collecting, understanding that they WILL misuse it and fail to protect it.

I hope Proton goes big-brain and uses that ‘voluntary data’ loop-hole to pollute the data of whatever it is forced to share.

Oh, you definitely got why I’m against Cloudflare…

Cloudflare has bot-mitigation built in, sure. So why would someone Anubis between their app and Cloudflare as it fulfills it’s reverese proxy role, idk. It seemed like that person was trying to explain to me where Anubis was supposed to fit in sequence here. It’s meant for the reverse proxy scenarios specificed in the example (nginx, Caddy, and others)

You are also correct. The “free” DDoS mitigation is an irrelevant argument against the privacy implications of using Cloudflare. Cloudflare isn’t the only DDoS mitigation option.

*BuT iT’s FrEe! *

Is it, really?

Yeah, I accept your apology. Anubis self-hosted and open source. I suppose you COULD use it between Cloudflare and your service, but why WOULD you?
