yeah my close friend is persian and while my friend doesnāt live there, seeing their homecountry being bombed, understandably, angers me.
Itās your website, and your anger is valid, which is why I havenāt objected to the geoblock as strenuously as I might have done. While I donāt appreciate the implication that mere US citizenship makes me complicit in the actions of its government ā especially since I didnāt vote for those assholes (by which I mean the entire conservative movement and the oligarchs and corporations funding them, not merely Trump and his cronies) ā I know better than to take what you wrote personally.
And, frankly, it would be quite justifiable for the civilized world to impose economic sanctions on the USA given the actions of its government.
Or, for that matter, for them to invade the US, impose regime change, and introduce democracy. /s Turnabout is fair play, after all.

it doesnāt make you specificially complicit, i phrased it wrong.
iāve changed up a bit the geoblock message it now says the following:
riri.my has been blocked in the united states
iāve decided not to make this content available in your region.
due to your dumb presidentās attack on iran, your goverment us complicit in israelās war crimes.until things change in ways that matter, i cannot under my freedom of conscience allow you to visit my website. be mad at the orange madman, not at me.

can someone here help me find a blog post (that I cantā remember if it was posted here or not).
It was an older looking site of some guy who had been running the site for quite a long time and he blogged about either his time in the Vietnam or Korean war? And he also had a bunch of stories about girls heās dated over his life.
The site was super minimal and perhaps didnāt have any color at all

Thanks! I do like Debian, and I still use it (specifically the stable version) on my VPS.

That makes sense. Debian (especially Debian Unstable) as a desktop OS might not be the Linux equivalent of playing Dark Souls, but itās not without its pitfalls.

If you learn to play an instrument, must you spend the rest of your life as a fisherman?
I think you overlooked something in your āWho Owns Your Talent?ā post, but Iām finding it amusing to imagine how that would look like.
Also, congratulations on adopting a new name!
