For anyone reading this who desperately needs their website up, you can try this: If you manage to get to your Cloudflare DNS settings and disable the "Proxy status (Proxied)" feature (the orange cloud), it should start working again.

Be aware that this change has a few immediate implications:

- SSL/TLS: You will likely lose your Cloudflare-provided SSL certificate. Your site will only work if your origin server has its own valid certificate.

- Security & Performance: You will lose the performance benefits (caching, minification, global edge network) and security protections (DDoS mitigation, WAF) that Cloudflare provides.

Never heard of the war between Sweden and Warsaw Pact in the 1980s. Maybe 5% is why it never happened.

Could you describe the process of learning the skill of being interviewed?

I would love if their customer service was so fast. They keep ghosting us for 7 days. Poking the on a live chat results in "hey we'll look at this".

Truly loving the service but we had to "unproxy" our website. When it works, it brings so much value. I'm guessing our issue isn't trivial to solve though.

I live in Poland so there are different brands of these lid wipes, but "Systane lid wipes" look about right.

The last one is indeed the golden one. When I feel that my eyes are sealed or I feel a lot of friction I use my fingers to help open my eyes. After that I put some eye drops in.

What is very interesting that there is a certain set of actions that you can take and the ones that helped you, didn't help me (diet - I've been eating healthy for a long time, air humidity - we use air humidifier for a long time too), but the ones that were great for me (eye hygiene) didn't help you.

I had phototherapeutic keratectomy which indeed helped me stabilize the situation, but didn't clear the symptoms 100%. I still have occasional erosions, which are much less severe and last way shorter than previous ones (minutes and not days). But I'm not sure if it is because of PTK itself or because of extra care that I give to my eyes daily.

As someone who suffers from recurrent corneal erosion (scratches on cornea, that are painful as hell) I incorporated a set of steps to manage this condition.

1. Daily eyelid hygiene - using special wipes to get the leftover from your eyelashes, to unblock Meibomian glands. It can dramatically improve how your eye is moistened. People who suffer from dry eye syndrome should at least try it.

2. Using eye drops daily - whenever I see them or I need them.

3. (Something that is specific to recurrent corneal erosion). I put some ointment/gel when I go to bed. As most of recurrent corneal erosion events happen during the night, it is crucial to be protected when you sleep.

Could you explain what keeps you away from writing? Is it youtube, surfing the internet or communicators in your taskbar?

Maybe you could try some time off from Slack/Whatsapp/Telegram?

I learnt this hard way. I never install version .0. They are usually full of bugs. The later, the better usually .2/3 should be fine.
