  • It’s almost always been so in modern days, and is obvious if only you read news from around the globe and not just yours local.
    Judging from my experience traveling around the world, due to the job I have, I must say, sorry, the USA’s social environment system is one of the most manipulative and forceful, and is designed for the mass control to desired destinations.

    The Overton window is the range of subjects and arguments politically acceptable to the mainstream population at a given time. It is also known as the window of discourse. The key to the concept is that the window changes over time; it can shift, shrink, or expand. It exemplifies “the slow evolution of societal values and norms”.

    His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.

  • The macOS version can make stronger guarantees because it can have more complexity. On Linux, the foundation is eBPF, which is powerful but bounded: it has strict limits on storage size and program complexity. Under heavy traffic, cache tables can overflow, which makes it impossible to reliably tie every network packet to a process or a DNS name.
    And reconstructing which hostname was originally looked up for a given IP address requires heuristics rather than certainty. The macOS version uses deep packet inspection to do this more reliably.
    That’s not an option here.

    The above feels like an utter AI slop nonsense, sorry. I believe eBPF, the Linux Kernel feature, is absolutely capable for accuracy and perfect processing of network traffic. Have you ever checked Calico or Cilium, or at least, Oryx?




  • Thank you very much! The article is a great reference to consider and start creating workspaces for teams ready to deal with panic and stay efficient in critical events.

    As a reminder, one of the ten levers you can pull to increase psychological safety in your subculture is to provide structure for difficult conversations.

    Unstructured hard conversations rely on confidence and power. Structured ones rely on shared tools and expectations.

    In the Anxiety Zone, difficult conversations feel personal and unpredictable.

    A man can be himself only so long as he is alone; and if he does not love solitude, he will not love freedom; for it is only when he is alone that he is really free." ~ Arthur Schopenhauer

    Our language has wisely sensed these two sides of man’s being alone. It has created the word “loneliness” to express the pain of being alone. And it has created the word “solitude” to express the glory of being alone. ~ Paul Tillich
