jfc I'm so sorry all that shit happened to you. The war on drugs is so fucking vicious and cruel.

You'll find that with any major VPN. The IP addresses they use to proxy your traffic eventually get flagged and blocked by lots of major players. Which is why VPN companies cycle through them quite often. As others have said, you'll either need to switch servers (and thus ips) or figure out another path.

I don't use mull but most have a way to exclude a given url or site from the tunnel if you need it. i.e. the site will work for you but it's coming from your own IP and unencrypted.

I set up Bunsenlabs on both of my elderly parents computers and then basically automated login stuff to the sites they use, pinned those tabs. Blocked all ads and trackers. Set Firefox to auto open on boot. Basically made them a Linux version of a chrome book where everything they need is in the browser and already active, no mudding around.

8 months later zero complaints from either of them.

And too the main dev is really passionate about the project and has done awesome things with it. It feels like he landed in a good place and is getting opportunities for healthy growth out of the deal.

Cheers thank you for that. My main hope is that they don't fuck Standard Notes up somehow, it's a wonderful editor and I've been a paying supporter of it since very early on.

Along the same line of pain management did you know that pretty much all the poppy seed (for ornamental flowers) you can buy at any garden store are opium poppies? You can grow them easily, then macerate the whole plant and extract in off the shelf alcohol and strain it for essentially laudanum which is great for a sleep aide or pain in low to moderate doses. Quite safe as well, obviously if you don't abuse it.

I don't wanna log into Reddit just to ask this but if you're inclined: how's things going with Standard Notes since they bought it? I haven't seen any change or decline in the app experience since Proton bought it so thanks so far (I'm also using Protonmail).

I'm a lefty but I didn't know which instances leaned which way when I got here. I chose lemm.ee because their defed policy itself was neutral and that appealed to me because I can do my own damn blocking thank you.

Cool they're gonna be able to stream in HD from space.

It's like this everywhere. Rich folks don't want to see poor people and addicts anywhere, ever. They want everyone locked up and out of mind. They don't think much of their own class doing drugs or whatever as long as the person continues to be a functional addict and hides it well.

Twelve Tribes cult have two mansions right across the street from each other in Winnipeg and nobody cares, but oooooh nooooo some recovering addicts? No way!

Yeah I joined this instance not knowing much about any of them and lucked into a very good crew! I did read their defederation policy (not inclined to unless extreme situations) and that is why I signed up here and they've been true to that. I think it's healthy.

Thanks, now I understand. NGL I have and will again make comments like that when any number of people die (I'm not proud of that, it's just a fact) but I probably wouldn't do it so publicly. I'm also not a public figure. Is saying something dumb like this on his part enough to disregard the real work he's doing? I'm not convinced.

I watch a lot of John Oliver so frankly this particular tweet looks pretty tame to me. 🤷
