Let me be as blunt as I can. #CloudFlare wants to own the entire Internet. Everything they do, however cool and good it may seem, is in service of that goal.
They're well on their way, seeing as they're being used by more than 20% of the entire web already.
All of this is legal and "Good Capitalism™".
What can you do?

If every proponent of the "jabs" could be as intellectually honest as Scott Adams.... unlike the weasel Sam Harris who is just an apologetic like the worst creationist that he so much despises.

“The #fediverse is like #email.”
Yes.
Now read this and understand it:
“I have been self-hosting my email since I got my first broadband connection at home in 1999 … But my emails are just not delivered anymore. I might as well not have an email server.
Email is now an oligopoly, a service gatekept by a few big companies which does not follow the principles of net neutrality … I lost. We lost. One cannot reliably deploy independent email servers.“

History in pics: Testing prototype Roomba's in 1982. It would take two decades until they could be made small enough to clean under a couch.

Biden accused of hypocrisy for trying to extradite Assange
Biden has been accused of hypocrisy for trying to extradite Julian Assange while criticizing other countries for imprisoning journalists and editors.
The article's original line, "Joe Biden has been accused of hypocrisy for demanding the release of journalists detained around the world while the US president continues seeking the extradition of the WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange," implies that Biden's wrong is to criticize the other countries. I rewrote the line to indicate that what's wrong is to try to imprison Assange.

Is that something people would be interested in?
Rock generator for greater artistic control over references. Expect no photorealism. They're plain and untextured, biased towards shapes that complement the style I'm going for. I can share once I add and fix a few details.

Serious transport damage on the pick-n-place machine that I bought.
They managed to knock the 24mm steel "leg" clean off, then put cargo straps on the weak lid, so whenever they turned right, the 1500kg machine tried to rest on the missing leg and push up on the strap, squeezing the lid.
And it is not worth fighting the insurance company. Just cost me a lot of time and will get nothing from it.
Insurance firms are some of the biggest scammers out there.

Hi #8bit folks, I'm looking for recommendations for scan converters to connect old kit to an HDMI port. Ideally covering (PAL) composite (ZX Spectrum etc.), BBC Micro RGB and C64 (any non-rf output). Can be one unit or individual adapters. Thanks!
