I was once calling the police because there was a guy screaming loudly in front of my apartment building.
He was not threatening, just really confused, was obviously looking for his home, I had the impression he was autistic or on some kind of spectrum and it was below -5C - cold enough that it’s really dangerous to fall asleep outside.
I called the police because I thought he just needed help and someone to look after him to take him home.
Yes, I do trust police in my country.
Because behind the carrier grade NAT I don’t get a routable IPV4 at all, so no inbound connections.
With the IPV4 I use I do use dyndns now, so I can resolve it from outside.
IPV6 is already rolled out in parts of the world. My provider has a Dual Stack lite architecture, the home connection is over IPV6, IPV4 is normally being tunneled via V6 through a provider grade NAT.
As I AM a network nerd, I pay for a dedicated IPV4 address every month, so I can reach my stuff from outside from old IPV4 only networks.
So when I plug in my router, connect a windows machine and just google stuff then all this traffic will be IPV6 without me configuring anything.
It’s so great fun having the attack surface being doubled by dual stack setups.
No, but I have a device with a LCD display where I can look it up
There’s another trick - checking against street maps. When you walk/drive/ride around a corner the phone can use it’s inaccurate GPS reading and update it according to where the corner is. Of course it doesn’t use ONE corner. to fully update your position, it just nudges the position a bit closer.
In case you are navigating a lot of street corners, after a time an inaccurate GPS position will be corrected.
There’s even more input to the algorithm (location of known WIFI Hotspots for example etc) and they are all combined with a “Kalman filter”.
I’m not trying to argue against you, I’m just trying to rally people against crappy business tactics.
Thanks for the personal attack, though.

Vorsicht vor dem Limbotänzer!
Wie Adolf Hitler throne ich hier, die braune Masse unter mir.
I’m keeping a mumber of my first generation Eneloops around. Around 10% of the ones I bought in the 2010s died, the others are still duing duty in my TV remote control etc.
The ones that died mostly died because of staying in a moving box for around 6 years or so after I divorced and forgot about them.
So I’m amazed how many of them just keep working.
You don’t get cookie check boxes because of GDPR. You’re getting them because companies want to track you, and need to ask if they do so.
If they don’t want to steal your private info they don’t need cookie check boxes, even under GDPR.
Additionally, those shitty checkboxes, that take 1000 clicks and 5 minutes if you don’t want to get tracked? Illegal under GDPR. Rejected getting tacked needs to be “as easy” as getting tracked by GDPR law.
Companies hating their tracking data business going away like to shit on GDPR - and if it’s repeated frequently enough peopme believe it.
(Btw Kosa sounds really dangerous in itself, I’m not advocating for that)
Tbh, it’s not a fairy tale but an illustrated children’s book written in 1845 by Heinrich Hoffman for his three year old kid. It was one of the first illustrated books, so it is considered to be one of the first comic books. Each story has a morale but is way over the top.
Interestingly a lot of the descibed behavior is known to be with ADHD or anorexia, today.
Growing up in Germany I always find Struwelpeter a quite horrible book (yes, I too had it a kid).
Ich habe Dinge gesehen, die ihr Menschen niemals glauben würdet. Gigantische Schiffe, die brannten, draußen vor der Schulter des Orion. Und ein rosa fliegendes Schwein, genannt Pupsi, im Kino, nahe meiner 6-jährigern Tochter.
RFC 1925 (3) With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly overhead.
I agree with the last statement at about a 70% level. The last 30% missing is - like you can’t tickle yourself, there’s some sensations that are different just because another person does them to you.
I’m not anti relationship, it’s just when viewing sex alone a lot of the things I experienced with someone else are just overrated. With very very few exceptions when I met humans with extremely high emotional intelligence.
But maybe in the end that’s all a discussion, that we all are generally bad in knowing and communicating what feels good for each other.
Yeah, people also say how old cars were better than modern ones, but that’s only driven by the fact that all the broken ones are scrapped for a long time now. In fact, modern cars have much longer lifespans than the old rust buckets.

Therefore they are soup.
Had slightly poisonous mushrooms, vomited for three days.
Needed two years to be able to eat mushrooms, again.
The body remembers.
I can’t relate as well, as I live in a city where things are really really aafe. But there are places where a women are afraid to walk alone in the dark, even for a few steps. (And even in safe places some people are quite afraid)
I’d be very careful with remote diagnosis. You. might be right, she needs therapy. She might just be afraid, because something bad happened to her some time.
The only way is for OP to have a good talk with her what’s bothering her - and then he may come to a conclusion. As of now, there’s just not enough information.
I’m 53 now and was considering getting an official diagnosis a few years ago, I even had the initial appointments set up.
I canceled it, because there was too much going on in my life at that moment (even got a notification I could reschedule for later)
All that made me think about what I was hoping for from diagnosis. In the end it was just having something in writing that would help me with self-acceptance.
Around that time I also was in a group psychotherapy so I talked about that and that part is now solved.
Regarding meds - I don’t want to try them now as my other coping strategies are good enough at the moment and I’m a bit wary of side effects as I need to take a handful of. medicine every day, anyways.
In the end you need to decide why you want a diagnosis. If you want to try meds I’d go for it. (My son “inherited” it from me and had meds for a time, which really helped him).
In a case like mine where I didn’t expect any new strategies out of it or didn’t want meds - it was probably the right decision to skip it.
From what I can see from an EU perspective: The training you get to become an officer in the US seems to vary a lot between places. That explains lot of differences.
Also it’s quite short IMO. Here in Germany it takes 2 1/2 years to become a policeman, 6 Months of these as a trainee. And still we have a number of problems.
