You might try adding more gateways to the conf file?

Or if you’ve got a host your trying to connect to I think I’ve seen people get a VPN connection through ssh? https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/VPN_over_SSH

Can you set your NAT to port forward a port to your ssh host?

I’m currently using yggdrasil to deal with this problem, though I’ve also used tor hidden services.

Vast amounts of time on bandcamp?

Eeew…

I had a coworker who’s laptop started emitting smoke in a meeting. thankfully this was in the days when you could still remove batteries. That was a nice safety feature.

Yikes!

What brand was that garbage?

I’m curious why Chrome OS had such a big drop?

I have also inflated my car tires a few psi with a stand bike pump too. Bike tires are often have much higher PSI, than car tires, so the pump can easily fill the tire it just takes a while… (Though to be fair I was mostly fixing a low pressure issue, so I was inflating the car tire from like 37 psi to 42 psi)

Honestly it should never be anyone. Cops should get to benefit from throwing people in jail, that is a giant tempting pile of corruption.

I think the southern cops or legislatures might have convicts doing janitorial work in their offices

I wouldn’t be surprised to hear some chief of police might use convict labor at their house.

Pretty sure that’s been going on for years.

Being around too many antagonistic people is stressful.

“The impact of election stress: Is political anxiety harming your health?: Psychological science shows that politics can harm our physical and mental health, but the positive aspects of political engagement can lead to greater well-being”

“In polarized communities, they found that bonding ties, or bonds between people who are similar (in this case, politically similar), were linked with better physical and mental health (International Political Science Review, Vol. 75, No. 3, 2022). Bridging ties—connections with dissimilar people—were associated with worse overall health for people who were politically isolated.”

There’s a big difference between analyzing your enemy and letting them shout at you constantly. I can research conservative evangelicals attitudes without having to let one set up a loudspeaker next to my house.

The conservative troll types are also the ones most likely to try and argue about echo chambers because their style of rage farming doesn’t work if everyone avoids them.

I feel it’s unfair to be blaming phones, social media, and multiplayer video games for being the way teens get some peer socialization in a world that is so deeply unfriendly to teens having independence.

danah boyd spent a bunch of time studying teen use of earlier social media, and then for personal reasons moved on to help run teen crisis text hotline.

Her thought for why US teens are struggling are the lack of non-parent trusted adults in their lives.

There’s also some evidence that it’s mostly teens on wealthy English speaking countries that are the most depressed.

I have long thought modern American kids have too little freedom to go places on their own.

I think some players have used a mithril chain shirt as a sleep shirt, which i think is technically legal.
