There's no model that can differentiate between 7 billion people. They all come with a limit. I didn't check the current latest model, because a few years ago when I worked in the field, such models shit themselves beyond 20million people.

Just to say, using face detection only, like these pieces of shit are doing, will for sure make them detain people who have nothing to do with anything.

    I meant AlexHost, if you find something with similar specs and pricing I would love to jump to it. AlexHost treats customer like garbage. Plus, only use shared instances, dedicated instances are terrible (terrible internet speed and host performance) check TrustPilot.

    Regarding residential proxy, it will be okay, 1usd per GB in packetstream.

    For VPS, I use AlexHost as they dont require id, plus crypto payments (I wish I could use something else, capsul.org is overpriced and much lower quality)

    I ended up self hosting my own in a privacy-friendly low-cost VPS after trying everything in some censorship heavy locations (SuperVPN, NordVPN, Mullvad, Surfshark, Frog{something}VPN ...) & rotating the address from time to time (I using a domain name so I don't have to change all the clients). My private one uses whatever new obfs protocol pops up and some other things to make fingerprinting very hard. Combining this with residential proxies & TOR+private bridges for browsing works like a charm EVERYWHERE.

    Commercial VPNs all fail because they use standard protocols and are very easy to fingerprint if you try enough.

    It has its issues but so far the most reasonable.

    (If you are in a censorship heavy area, go with something else, Mullvad relies on standard protocols that are easy to inspect and shut down)

    I got rejected a gazillion times in my career and I still get rejected left and right.

    However the moment I express my lack of interest advanced in the position, I get bombarded by emails and requests for meeting..

    This happened to me twice:

    1. A few years ago. I passed all the stages, the position included relocation, I missed one thing in my negotiation: the taxes in the new place are really high. I emailed them explaining my position, not interested anymore because of taxes.. Then I start getting requests to set up meetings, and attempt to get me to explain to answer a long list of questions.. I tried to be nice and helpful but it seems people lost their temper already (started getting "unprofessional" emails)

    2. More recently, I passed the first few stages, the last stage seemed too frustrating and slow so I gave up. All of the sudden, things changed again and everyone is trying to understand more in detail...

    Why are we expected to eat rejections and not take it personally but they can't take their own advice?

    I kinda don't fit in both. I need reasonable steady income/wealth (as soon as it covers food, a car, an apartment, gym, some clothes, ... for me and some relatives) so I can do other stuff.

    This will be centered around volunteering in different ways (open source, research, ...) without fearing going homeless the moment I disagree with someone.

    Given my low cost geo location, I am closer to this than ever.
