Same thing here. I can get it with Tor as most of the exit nodes as far from Brazil (for good reason).

Perhaps we should mirror the entire site (it seems to be plain good old HTML) and archive it on IPFS or so to get rid of these dumb geoblocks.

So don't even try to find how expensive is bring these to Brazil. Even the $5 orders from JLCPCB become infeasible for hobbyists here due to all the roadblocks.

As a Brazilian with a love for electronics and DIY, I feel this pain every day.

Oh sorry, spoilers.

Thanks, I didn't know this trick! Perhaps soon we'll need to keep lists of per-site white-listed user agents...

Would CBP pay the travel costs? :)

> What is your process for automating this checksum twice a year?

Backup programs usually do that as a standard feature. Borg, for example, can do a simple checksum verification (for protection against bitrot) or a full repository verification (for protection against malicious modification).

Did my best to try to summarize the issue within the length limit but, hell, that's hard to explain with so little words. At least the actual post does a good summary of it.
