I reflexively swiped left when the inevitable newsletter modal started to appear at the bottom, so didn’t finish reading the article, but would like to know what gave you the dystopian vibe?

For anyone using Emacs Org mode, it may be interesting to know that plantUML diagrams can be embedded in Org documents using Babel.

There are also a number of browser extensions which may be easier to set up and use for non-technical folks, for example FoxyProxy seems to offer one. I've never tried any myself, though.

Have you considered using the same Proxy or VPN? I work remotely and sometimes access services through a VPN based in the country my coworkers are at specifically to avoid this kind of annoyance.

I've always found it hard to get the Nginx config right and have at times done the following:

1. Run Nginx (or OpenResty in my case) in Docker

2. Have the config files in a volume

3. Have a script (Python, Bash or anything else) which watches the config files for changes, then first runs `nginx -s reload` in the Nginx container, and then executes a number of unit tests

For Emacs users there's also an nginx-mode which makes a bit more pleasant to edit the config files.

I've been doing this as well, but I specifically try to come up with good questions and add those. Usually at the time I add the question as a flashcard, I don't know the answer yet, so I leave that field blank. Later on every time the flash card shows up, I refine the answer and return to the textbook if necessary. I find that the effort required to come up with interesting questions is very beneficial to the learning process by itself. I also sometimes include the name of the book and page numbers so I can quickly return to the relevant section.

Mind explaining in more detail the difficulties you encountered?

The other day I discovered a book which discusses the use of motorized vehicles as weapons at length: https://www.amazon.com/Driven-Kill-Vehicles-as-Weapons/dp/08...

As someone who does a lot of cycling, I'm used to road rage directed at me in the form of punishment passes mostly.
