Welp, nothing that can be done now. It seems his parents should be willing and able to help, so at least there’s that.
Hopefully they can be responsible, not like they have any other choice. Just like any parents.

People being noisy on public transport.

Loud talking, people playing audio on speakers, parents who don’t give a fuck about their ear-piercing screaming machines, etc…

When I am on a train/tram/bus and, say, get a call, I’ll decline it and send the person a text stating that I can’t call right now as I am in a vehicle.

Usually I can avoid noise by using first class. People there tend to talk far less, and they don’t bring kids there. That’s about all 1st class has to offer around here. Avoiding people.
Oh, sometimes the 1st class can even be fairly empty. Like, 1 or 2 people in the carriage type empty. Especially nice with compartment carriages. That way I can be all alone. Which also means I can turn off lights and crank up AC in the compartment. Or open the window, which I’ll regret at the first screeching of brakes. Damn loud.

Could be mistaken for South Korea.

Yes.

Obvious, the address of where you pee.

Employees across the company from engineering to HR to finance to marketing run thousands of AI agent sessions each day to get their work done

Meanwhile the employees:

The Cloudflare bit, at least their consumer product in question only works as a public VPN (such as Mullvad, IVPN, etc…), meaning it’s more of an encrypted proxy. So it doesn’t counter anything.
Why it blocks incoming connections on other interfaces ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
It only makes sense for it to capture all outgoing connections not destined to split-tunneled IP ranges, as to prevent leaks.

I also use that, and it’s just all over the place.
I’ve had issues with my carrier, so I just used foreign SIM in roaming for a while. €11 for 40GB is not that bad.

And then I found I can’t purchase a train ticket. For some reason, ZSSK (Slovakian passenger railway company) blocked IPs of Lifecell (Ukrainian MNO), but was fine with IP from RackNerd (Virginia).

Oh, and the university I am at blocks IPs from “3rd world countries”, the result of which was that Asburn, Virginia is fine, but somehow New York is a 3rd world country.
Their instructions say to use any EU-based VPN.

OneDrive uploads would only work for me over Mullvad without crashing.

I also had Reddit block Czech T-Mobile IPs.

Which just seems stupid. Smartphone is a computer. When you want to run something as administrator on Windows, it’s just a Yes/No prompt away, and Windows isn’t some small thing either.

Sounds like Australia to me.

What if it’s something cursed like Proxmox on a laptop with KDE Plasma installed on host, NAT set up for VMs to use WiFi, passing wayland windows over waypipe through vsock and launching programs using manually created shortcuts which start the programs over SSH (because it can be done)?

Very much outside US as well: https://mullvad.net/en/help/partnerships-and-resellers

Yesterday I tried Proxy Store for the first time (previously I used German Amazon), I’ll see how that ends up. Though I wasn’t able to pay with card, because PayPal. Apparently, we now have instant bank transfers accross entire SEPA, so it was sent out on the same day.

I used to send €10 O_o
Mostly because I liked getting all the different stamps to send it with.

It would take quite a while in the end. Print address to envelope, print code, insert money, close envelope, take out all the stamps, calculate the combination to get right value, check the available stock for each stamp, recalculate (no way I am using ones out of stock), take a soft brush, dip in water, wet the stamps, stick them on, make sure they’re on well, let dry, take to mailbox, wait up to 10 days for it to arrive and get credited.

closed, wontfix

Aside from the 3 top right icons (probably) not showing correctly it seems to run. But I never used it, so I don’t know what to test in there.

Same in Slovakia.

It better not…
