Maybe Gen z and Gen a added being counted on to not know it could be different than default no privacy.

Sounds like the marketing team finally won.

This can be done easily with Cloudflare security rules, where you can match against country and block all requests.


Oh thank you. I don't know why I couldn't find it but it's actually a near first class feature in WAF (select by country/continent and block). I think it's because I wanted to serve a blocked page, which is totally doable with Custom Pages or a Cloudflare Worker. Thank you!

The right way is to serve a 451 page.



Age of Empires II anyone?


I did that a few weeks ago ;) https://github.com/njbrake/agent-of-empires

> To add insult to injury the new Element X app on mobile is in some ways a downgrade because they integrated the cloud vendor push notification services into the app, so even though you have "sovereign" and "self-hosted" infrastructure you're still, on a good day, leaking meta-data about your chats back through to the people you were trying to decouple yourself from anyway. You can run your own push notification services for this mostly if you want and all your mobile clients are Android but like, why.

Probably because this is literally the only way to make notifications work reliably on mass market Android and iOS devices? It is no different from Signal or any other secure messenger on the market. Decoupling from these platforms is a story for another day.


That's a nice thought but how does it work in practice? Every time I sign up for a new service I have to dig up my "backup device" from the safe just to enroll it?

Google Authenticator used to be this way: no backup and restore, as if I'm going to spend a day setting up dozens of TOTP codes again and again every time I change phones. Thankfully, sanity has prevailed since then.


Spray painting a jet engine causes millions in damages, but it's a cute sleight of hand to insinuate it's just some graffiti on a wall or something.


You don't actually know how much it cost, you just believe what the police say despite the fact that they've provided no figures.


I'll do you one better: Palestine Action is bankrolled by notorious pro-Russia tankie Fergie Chambers, who supports Vladimir Putin's genocidal campaign in Ukraine. So please add genocide sympathizer to your list.
