Cloudflare is a business service primarily and the people who should be worried about its monopoly are the businesses, not so much a handful of people running home servers.

Self-hosting an authoritative dns server is not a good idea for several reasons.

Cloudflare doesn’t have access to data hosted in your server unless you’re using their reverse proxy tunnel.

A momentary (if severe) blip in their availability isn’t a good reason to change providers.

But only if it’s Christianity, I bet.

But there’s no real reason for that. Losing the smarts. It’s just artificial to achieve lower bom.

If it doesn’t work when the cloud is down, it’s not your thing. Don’t buy it. 8sleep is only the most recent example.

Well, Chinese manufactures cloned the design and came in well under price, took the Chinese market, then improved the product and challenged iRobot globally.

Embrace, extend, extinguish.

Coffee is up in price already, the tariffs must be brutal.

It’s not really that hard.

At least you perceive that happening. With a lot of other stuff the feedback isn’t as tangible!

Sleep deprivation is like being drunk. You make terrible decisions, and operate on a small percentage of your potential.

Like being drunk, your brain compensates and you are not aware of being a dumb-dumb with the decision making capability of a 5 year old.

This behaviour is not surprising, then.

I’m not convinced you need specific toilet bowl cleaner if you clean it regularly; a lot of them are really strong chemicals that are unnecessary, but it does depend on your situation and the water you’ve got etc. Loose stools may need more attention.

A bit of all purpose cleaner really is all you need imo. But if hard water you’ll need to up it to something containing a (preferably buffered) acid to remove soap scum and hard water deposits.

Vinegar has its place but I find it almost universally disappointing when cleaning. In particular, it’s not got any surfactants or ability to bind to dirt or grease.
