DM me - paying cash 4 rations

I can’t even joke “when has art ever sold dick pills?” because colorful gas station packages conceivably outsell telemarketers on that front.

Super fun to abuse I’ve heard

Get sleepy, get addicted, try to stop, get some of the world’s worst withdrawals

Wait till you find out the shadow looks like Darth Vader

I knew a girl like that once

Wait what

Suffer? I want them to enjoy nice lives with like one nice car and boat per person

And the rest: for We The People who made everything possible anyway

A find out for a fuck around makes the whole world FAFO

Thanks for your input everybody!

Thank you - this led to lots of interesting reading!

Ayyyyy

Amazon Lightsail, free for three months!

What a fabulous suggestion to meet every need listed.

Like you, @just_another_person@lemmy.world & @AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space also get lots of credit for a solution that will meet my need in spite of my focus on the cloud-based solution. The free Lightsail option is a little slower than would be ideal… it’s also freeeee! So glad to be exposed to it regardless of whether I end up going local VM or cloud.

Thanks!

Most succinct yet informative possible description of IsThereNet, I think :)

I am so installing this! Will be very useful beyond the simple use case in my OP. Thanks Data.

Clever! Thanks for finding those links too.

Ah, my threat model isn’t that Snowden, thanks.

you could get a false negative

Good point. Will keep that in mind in general. (For this specific use case? Maybe it’s fine since if I see the red bar while my apps are still working, I could ignore it - but now I’ll think back to your comment and understand maybe Cloudflare is experiencing an issue. In which case I’ll check their status pages and wouldn’t be surprised to see some news article or complaints too!)

Thank you, and thanks for the counterpoint @TaviRider@reddthat.com

In 2004 I would not have understood why!

Naughty naughty 🙂
