web TV ads can be easily blocked but recent advancements in hardware locking added cryptography chip so I imagine it would be some hardware chip you have to remove to get rid of ads that will overlay half of the screen

There is still no animation software that can match flash brush style / color or animation techniques.

I’m waiting for free phones / tv with split screen 50% AD 50% your content but only AI generated.

You can open websites in lynx.

this is nginx / openresty config - upstream is just definition of server / bunch of servers if you do loadbalancing - you can specify load balancing strategies and stuff. Or when want to separate server layer from proxy layer.

stream {
  upstream something {
     server xxx:123;
     server yyy:321;
  }
  server {
     listen 666;
     proxy_pass something;
  }
}

I use openresty with autossl, it renews certificates automatically. The only problem is maintaining subdomain allowance otherwise bots will ddos letsencrypt with random domain names, after some quota they will soft ban you for a week to create certificates for new domains / subdomains.

you can reverse proxy other ports than 443 and ex. upstream ssh, the advantage of having reverse proxy over everything is to have traffic in one place so you can manage it, that’s why for example kubernetes have ingress server, example nginx / openresty upstream ssh, you can restrict traffic to limited amount of IP etc.

stream {
    upstream ssh {
        server          127.0.0.1:22;
    }

    server {
        listen          2222;
        ssl_preread     on;
        proxy_pass      ssh;
    }
}

You can’t escape probability these days.

90s dot com boom was about getting rich with stupid ideas. Government was working, technology companies were not in charge. Ex. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Microsoft_Corp. from 1998. 90s bubble was caused by people. Today bubble is caused by governments around the western world supporting monopolies and global corporations. There are only handful of companies today that are in cartel that rules the world. It will be worse. People are addicted to those company products, they use them everyday and some of them can’t live without it. You have population of junkies.

What you do with money ? Give it to people so they stop working ? CEOs are needed so people earn enough money to survive but not enough to live or rebel against the system. Just like chickens. You cut chicken wings so they don’t fly away.

I’m old. I have this one in my drawer. At some point I might start using it again and leave phone at home.

They can thank IMF and government.

Greece is subject to post-program monitoring (PPM), focusing on its ability to repay the IMF, as a country which owes the fund more than 1.5 billion SDR or 200 percent of its quota.

The IMF’s austerity policies were criticized as violating the Greek constitution and human rights.
