Jokes on you, using AI I got that time down to 4 hours trying to convince it to create working code, and 3 hours of debugging.

Unity games on mobile send your location to Unity servers every couple seconds through the Unity ad network.
Things you can do:
- GDPR Request to Unity
- use a DNS that blocks trackers, like mullvad
So for those unaware. If followed through this would be the biggest economic crisis worldwide, since the great depression. No hyperbole.
US treasury bonds are the way the US government borrows money. They are most of the debt. They are also the "safe asset". Because it was assumed that the US, being the sole superpower and the biggest economy, would always pay back its debts. Because of this whenever organizations needed to park money super safely, they would use US government bonds.
Around 30 trillion worldwide, that is 1/3 of the world's GDP, is held in US bonds.
You know who the biggest borrowers of US debt are? Pension funds. And you know the biggest one of all of them? Social Security. US social security holds around 3 trillion of US debt. Debt that would suddenly be worth nothing anymore.
In total, around 27 trillion of treasury bonds are held in the US by pension funds, local governments, etc. These would be gone.
Other countries would suddenly lose 3 trillion, biggest of which are Japan, China and the UK. Belgium Luxembourg and Switzerland hold a huge share compared to their economy, and could collapse completely.
But hey, at least the national debt is gone, right?
Well.. No one would borrow the US money anymore. Who would trust them anymore? Likely, this would be the end of the USD as the worlds reserve currency. With that, I doubt military spending could be upheld. The US would collapse as a superpower.
That's a lot of work, I appreciate it.
Reminds me a bit of how it was in Germany at the beginning of the Iraq war (2). Plenty of Americans saying we should be bombed back to the stone age for not going to Iraq, while our soldiers were dying in Afghanistan. I remember in all the bulletin boards people would kind of cheer for American losses, hoping secretly or sometimes openly that Iraq would win, and the schoolyard bully would get another bloody nose.
That's the moment large parts of my generation became anti-american.
Americans like to think of themselves as heroes, fighting for what's right, upholding the constitution etc. But if you look at history Americans again and again chose to simply do nothing. You reached late Roman decadence.
Here a candidate voted with the far right and a week later, one million people were on the streets. Population adjusted that would be 5 million Americans. That was a small protest for us. And that's nothing compared to the French. I looked at the biggest American demonstrations and this one demo, a regular Sunday for us, would have been the third biggest in the US, population adjusted, or the seventh biggest, not adjusted.
All these talks of civil war.. You cannot even move your ass to go to a demo. You think regular Americans are actually going to look at a Bradley, who can kill all the inhabitants of a house with one shot, and go like "yep, time to strap on the suicide vest!"
Even those militia types.. Look at them. How far do you think they can run on average? How far with a backpack? They are just LARPing. 80% will stay home, 4% will go back home after the beer runs out, 15% will rat the others out to the Gestapo.
I would get a backup tool that offers encryption, which is most of them. Popular choices are: tarsnap, restic and Borg.
And then install graphene OS
Nextcloud has collabora integrated.
I would put this stuff behind VPN.
Für die Schnellläufer Generation: früher war die SPD mal links. Dann kam Schröder und hat sie rechter gemacht. Daraufhin sind alle linken aus der SPD ausgetreten und haben ihre eigene Partei gegründet, die Wahlalternative soziale Gerechtigkeit (WASG). Weil sie irgendwie dumm waren haben sie sich mit dem Überbleibsel der DDR Regierung (PDS) zusammengeschlossen und die Linke gegründet. Damit wurden alle moderaten Linken in Deutschland unwählbar, und die SPD hatte nie wieder ne wirkliche Chance dazu, zu regieren.
The question to ask yourself is why is cloudflare offering that service for free? Probably because they get something out of it, like analysing the data.
Get a refurbished Lenovo thinkpad t470 or so from ebay, make sure it has full HD and comes from a commercial shop. All the Thinkpads work great with Ubuntu. They are good quality business notebooks, easy to repair with good parts availability. You can probably get one around 150 or so.
I repaired laptops for a living for a while and Thinkpads were always my favorite.
Seems weird to me, the router would need to do deep packet inspection of DNS and selectively block specific ones. It feels more like you've set up your DNS to do forwarding instead of resolution. Can you post a network diagram and the DNS config?
It's a gas where the chemical reaction of the combustion has produced enough energy to heat it up to a temperature where it emits visible light. Kind of like a glowing piece of metal, but in gas form.
It's a mixture of black body radiation and individual spectral lines.
The spectral lines happen when electrons fall from a high to a low energy state and the energy difference is emitted as light.
Black body radiation describes the fact that everything constantly emits electromagnetic radiation (=light). But what kind of light depends on the temperature with colder bodies like us humans emitting infrared whereas warmer bodies like the sun emit visible light. That is also why light temperature is a thing and the unit is Kelvin.
Here are some graphs and stuff: https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/648273/does-fire-emit-black-body-radiation
Kann ich so unterschreiben.

Do tcpdump host $server
instead. Otherwise you will only see the request (the response goes to a different port).
Just to be sure you do dig A @server $domain
(with the "A") and can confirm the following
SERVER is your server
;; ANSWER SECTION is empty (or doesn't exist)
;; AUTHORITY SECTION mentions your local DNS server
Also check
dig NS @server $domain
Is your server in the answer section?
Mine doesn't seem to exist anymore sorry.
Here is how I would diagnose (I'm assuming you have Linux / WSL on a client)
- Check the DNS record is actually set (yes do it again)
- Do these steps on the client:
dig $domain
check which server answereddig a $domain
should give a recorddig a $domain @server
to make sure you're querying the right server
If none work, probably network issue (DNS boind to wrong IP, firewall, etc)
If 3 and 5 work but 4 doesn't, your DNS isn't authorative.
If only 5 works DNS settings on the client is wrong.
