good example on how to make something that is neither a legible sentence nor a legible diagram, but rather an unholy refusal to commit to either

lgbtqia.space changed the way they geoblock the UK and now my method of bypassing it doesn't fully work.
I was adding individual routes for each website I found that blocked the UK to route it via a VPN (and hoping that they never change IP addresses, so this method was already quite fragile), but now the CDN they use (cdn2.miau.pub) blocks the UK via GeoDNS so that doesn't work any more.
I could bypass this by running a DNS server outside the UK (or using another non-UK-based DNS provider that also doesn't do anycast in the UK, but I don't know of any good ones), but that would increase the latency of DNS lookups by at least ~25ms (latency to my VPS in Germany, which itself has ~3ms higher latency to 8.8.8.8 and 1.1.1.1 than my home connection). Would I even notice the difference? I'm not sure

it is 2025 and Cogent is still not peering over IPv6 with Hurricane Electric, which today for the first time ever, has mildly inconvenienced me (and is the only reason why HE still isnt a Tier 1 ISP)

guess my AS being announced in ARIN has to wait for a bit then

but this is a great opportunity for me to resurrect the original thread of how it happened that i have found in my thousands of bookmarks

Like, I don't have a particular view of whether this is a good idea or not. But these sham community engagement exercises piss me off.

What the hell happened to this optiplex? It's barely recognizable and looks like it's been fished out of the bottom of the sea, but the listing says "Works great! Item is used with only cosmetic damage."

Water heater died, got a new one. It has to be one of the most unhinged temperature scales I have seen. It started at an A out of Very Hot, which was too hot, so we turned it down to Hot. We’ll see how that goes, might turn it down to “ “ later.

please do not do that “I’m providing no/purposefully bad alt text to epicly own scrapers” shit . doing so instead harms who genuinely needs it 1000x more than the supposed ai scrapers you’re fighting against

Recently I went on a plane for the first time since 2019. The plane took off around sunset and because we were flying northeast it lasted quite a long time. I took some photos of the sunset from the window of the plane during takeoff.
