This can be done easily with Cloudflare security rules, where you can match against country and block all requests.

Hasn't AdSense been known to be a malware delivery vector for over a decade by now?

> To add insult to injury the new Element X app on mobile is in some ways a downgrade because they integrated the cloud vendor push notification services into the app, so even though you have "sovereign" and "self-hosted" infrastructure you're still, on a good day, leaking meta-data about your chats back through to the people you were trying to decouple yourself from anyway. You can run your own push notification services for this mostly if you want and all your mobile clients are Android but like, why.

Probably because this is literally the only way to make notifications work reliably on mass market Android and iOS devices? It is no different from Signal or any other secure messenger on the market. Decoupling from these platforms is a story for another day.

That's a nice thought but how does it work in practice? Every time I sign up for a new service I have to dig up my "backup device" from the safe just to enroll it?

Google Authenticator used to be this way: no backup and restore, as if I'm going to spend a day setting up dozens of TOTP codes again and again every time I change phones. Thankfully, sanity has prevailed since then.

Spray painting a jet engine causes millions in damages, but it's a cute sleight of hand to insinuate it's just some graffiti on a wall or something.

I'll do you one better: Palestine Action is bankrolled by notorious pro-Russia tankie Fergie Chambers, who supports Vladimir Putin's genocidal campaign in Ukraine. So please add genocide sympathizer to your list.

Yet in practice, only the big boys are allowed to become "Trusted Publishers":

> In the interest of making the best use of PyPI's finite resources, we only plan to support platforms that have a reasonable level of usage among PyPI users for publishing. Additionally, we have high standards for overall reliability and security in the operation of a supported Identity Provider: in practice, this means that a home-grown or personal use IdP will not be eligible.

How long until everyone is forced to launder their artifacts using Microsoft (TM) GitHub (R) to be "trusted"?

Do you actually believe that, say, Barack Obama [1] or Pope Leo XIV [2] are nazis? If the answer is "yes" you may have more in common with MAGA looney fringes than you think.

Actually there are a whole lot of musicians who find pride in "punching nazis" so to speak, but you are entitled to your Russian sympathies.

> In America big cities “squares” are associated with crime and homelessness. Times Square (NYC) and Union Square (SF) being two examples.

Oh, that's what the main train station in any western European city exists for.
