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.

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.

Yeah most routers will allow you to configure the traffic policy through their admin console. Some of the ISPs equipment won’t, if that’s all you’re using.

Lots of good suggestions.

The simplest answer assumes you have a router with a firewall that you can configure.

The basic idea is a deny rule targeting the ‘source’ IP address from reaching the ‘destination’ ip addresses.

There are various ways to do this, the best way will be very precise. Some folks have said separate VLAN, very good practice but not required. Some folks suggest pihole, thats really hit or miss unless you know your device relies explicitly on DNS and you also know how to manage that.

It will be easies for you to learn the basic traffic policy before proceeding to other more advanced suggestions, but you will have to probably at least learn that bit of network security to attempt this task. Low difficulty in the grand scheme of things networky.

Translation. Better performance on Linux.

I will load up Cyberpunk 2077 and judge for myself.

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

TLDR:

On Linux, older AMD GPUs will benefit from stability enhancements

What a difficult article to parse; must be man made.

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.

When it launched, I had it Day 1 on PS4.

It was fuuuuuuuuuuuuccccccccccked. Crashing, performance was shit, bugs galore, janky textures. There were a lot of people who ended up with a dogshit product from a playability perspective.

I played through it and beat it while it was still in rough shape, because I loved it so much anyway. Obviously, it improved later and it ran well when I upgraded to PS5 (and better when there was a PS5 version released). This game is currently on my PC, because I bought it again just to keep playing it there. It runs great on Linux.

CDPR used to just be a name you trusted because they built a reputation. They hurt their rep with the launch for CP2077, especially after their marketing “Out when it’s ready.” But they have also done the woork to rebuild it, we’ll see with Witcher 4. Big promises to fulfill for that one.

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.

YES

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.

Is it, really?
