  • Well, worse than it seems, then.

    I’d be willing to experiment, try and block US connections to and from my computer, but I could probably deal with it, seeing as I don’t use as much US stuff as the average person. Companies also probably have servers in other places, meaning perhaps they’d connect through elsewhere, and, in such a test scenario, me having control, I could allow the connections whenever I want or need.

    To have everyone lose internet connection to/from US, would be real bad, it seems. Worse than I thought (though granted, I did not think much, clearly). Though if it were for a few hours, maybe let people see the consequences of their dependence, and what life would be like without these services. Guve 'em a taste.

    All the more reason to not rely solely on the US and maybe adopt / help fund alternatives.

    On another topic, if anyone knows how to block connections based on location, feel free to enlighten me. I’d actually enjoy trying out the aforementioned experiment, but NextDNS doesn’t have such feature








  • I’ve noticed pigeons in recent times. You sometimes see one mofo chasing another, and the other keeps running away like it being chased by some creep. Then, once the second one stops and the original gets near them, the original mofo starts spinning in place, tryina rizz 'em up. Usually leads nowhere, though I once spotted a successful pigeon. Said pigeon then jumped atop the other pigeon. A blink-and-you’ll-miss thing, so quick before they left. It’s something I now notice quite often, having noticed this interesting pattern.
