I’ll write it down as if I was talking to a 6 year old, because it sounds like your mental development might have stopped there.

Try to follow these 3 steps, OK?

1. Think of the artist: Imagine a person who makes something, like a painting or a song. This person is called an artist.

2. See the Art: The artist makes something beautiful, like a colorful picture or a fun song. This is called their art.

3. Two Different Things: The artist and their art are two separate things. Just because someone made a painting, it doesn’t mean everything about that person is good or bad.

Did that help you understand? Or are these steps confusing? Do you see that your comment was extremely dumb?

It’s becoming very difficult to live if you can’t seperate a person from their work.

I thought about it. You’re right, I think. But even had I not thought about it, you’d still be right.

Men are people too

The line is “do you need to work ever to maintain at least the current living standard”

The answer would be “no” for most europeans. Cost of living in asia is around 400EUR a month, with a higher living standard. Most europeans could achieve that easily.

In Belgium lower income people also tend to vote more extreme. It’s even shown that whenever extreme right parties grow, it’s usually because they convinced people that previously voted extreme left.

People who vote for the socialist party are typically retired or work for the government in some capacity.

Most people are a bit of both, no?

We kill animals at their peak, and harvest them for meat.

That’s not the case. There’s even different words to the meat depending on the age the animal got slaughtered. There’s no single “peak”.

Would you walk a bear or would the bear walk you?

I switched to Chicory because I do the same :) Just a regular ceramic cup that I reuse though.

It was quite obvious indeed, as they also defaced the website. I switched to Linux Mint XFCE edition because of it :)

Is there some way to self host what cloudflare does?

Your domain will always have to be rented through a 3rd party. Cloudflare is (or was?) one of the better choices for that.

Cloudflare does other things as well, most notably it can acts as a proxy: an inbetween between your server and the users. This inbetween can be useful against DOS attacks, blocking of bots, etc. But for most self hosters that part is not necessary. It’s a toggle in cloudflare’s DNS dashboard: I think you’d want it to say DNS only.

Another thing cloudflare can do is tunneling. It’s useful for when your server is behind a firewall or NAT or double NAT you can’t or don’t want to configure. You’d probably know if you use this, so I assume you don’t?

Is there any meta analysis on these major outages?

They seem to be occuring more and more regularly.

Do they also think we’re strange? Keeping food as if they’re pets?

Hmm, I’ll rephrase. I fail to see the connecting thought between the list of random thoughts?

I struggle to see what question you’re asking?

Depending on 3rd parties is a pain in the ass

You have my admiration, and permission to go to sleep.

Impressive! Waauw!

Awesome selfhosted lists https://github.com/heyform/heyform as a possibility.
