  • Can highly recommend 4g. Went for a walk with some friends. Met a guy that made horse trails. Explored an abandoned property in a nature reserve. Had fun on the beach. 6hrs~ total. Mostly just giggling, fun and a extra large, rainbow diffraction spikes looking at lights compared to normal. And getting out of your own headspace.

    Non-extreme nature pairs well with mushrooms!

    Whatever anyone says, you don’t need to take a second stronger dose to go up again. The same will do again. A buddy who spent the whole first round disappointed because it ‘didn’t affect him’, was running around a field claiming the grass was so much greener on that side after 7g.




  • Some of it is dark if you sit thinking about it too long. The toaster has a nightmare about choking it’s master with smoke, forks being stuffed in it, and falling in to a full bath. I wouldn’t have thought any of this is scary for a toaster, rather it shows a preoccupation with its master somehow committing suicide with it.

    On the flip side, my three year old just watched it, and is now obsessed. We’ve watched it 5 times this week. She loves it - even the “It’s a B movie show” song.



  • Instead of trying to build reputation, you can buy it. Pick a reputable spam solution that offers accounts for like $3-5/m and route all mail through it.

    Still your server, your mail, but you’re buying their business reputation, and getting some spam filtering back. Plus you might get some protection from outages or maintenance windows if they can cache some mail for delivery for you



  • tl;dr:

    If you think something is blocking DNS traffic, you could try configuring DNS-over-HTTPs or DNS- over- TLS and picking a reputable upstream. This should obfuscate the traffic somewhat and get past common DNS interference issues and tactics.


    So building on what yourself and everyone else has said, it does seem to be a DNS issue.

    I found that at select times my local ISP was up to shenanigans with DNS.

    I live in a very small country and work in IT. The NOC for all three ISPs and I have met. It would surprise me if they were competent enough to do this intentionally for malicious purposes.

    If you can get access out to the internet via ping, see if you can do other things - get on a VPS and test with tcpdump at both ends. There’s a few free ones or trials great for disposable purposes like this. Set it up in advance…

    You won’t know what it is til you troubleshoot.

    I’ve had huawei firewalls reaching some simultaneous connection limit and fail, reversing their ruleset - blocking everything except ICMP, tr069 and ssh (concerning) outbound…

    I’ve had problems with specific DNS servers, through the ISP’s network.

    I’ve seen regular BGP changes causing outages all over the place (the ISPs locally don’t peer with each other…)

    Post your findings, would love to help/hear!
