    No place is too remote The White House is not the only surprise in the observatory. Residential proxies also reach some of the most isolated places on the planet.

    Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha is the South Atlantic territory that includes the most remote inhabited island in the world. We recorded 413 addresses and more than 32,000 observations there, split between Starlink and the island's local internet provider, Sure Saint Helena.

    We also recorded three observations from Antarctica. All of them come from a Cloudflare WARP address that points to McMurdo Station.

    Other remote places with activity:

    Pitcairn: 1 Starlink address, 1 observation.

    Norfolk Island: 1 Norfolk Telecom address, 4 observations.

    Svalbard: 1 Starlink address in Longyearbyen, 3 observations.

    Also seen: the Falklands (388 addresses), the Chagos Islands (43), Tokelau (21) and South Georgia (7).

    Residential proxies have infected every corner of the world, and it looks like there is no place they cannot reach. Layer3 Intel tracks residential proxy and anonymization infrastructure worldwide. Even when the proxies hide in networks on the farthest corners of the planet, we can still observe them, leaving threat actors no place to hide.

    It worries me how companies keep trying to eliminate the human connections; it's sort of better, service jobs are hard: you take the brunt of righteous rage and are powerless to help in anyway. Often you have quotas, kpis to meet, but imagine that very powerlessness as customer to even get someone to hear your complaint out. Getting a hold of them becomes an achievement and a bureaucratic nightmare that just makes you figure the patience required to deal with it is the punishment—sort of how governments (some), cruel ones, make the bureaucracy a slow crawl punishment where the procedure itself is hell, not the outcome of fair ruling, just a blanket punishment for anyone who even tries: a test if they have the patience, the stamina to outlast your malicious process to get the little chump change they'd be awarded.

    Is it only for people with connections, with teams of people, with resources, that you acquire freedom from being exploited in many ways in life by governments, by corporations? I guess money isn't enough to be protected; even it can be taken, lost, seized. Is there anything, anyway, any country one can be at peace? I guess not, but I do hope a system where a bad day cripples you for life is ruled out by systems that are thoughtful in enforcement that aligns with economics. Currently, systems are designed to be exploited around the world; fines, penalties are factored in as costs to business. I hope some day systems that are designed for masses would be bought in, but then I realize masses, mobs make the stupidest decisions known to mankind, and currently democracies function like corporate with short term profit motive to make the books look good in short term. The parties, the leaders of tomorrow are left holding the bags when the cheques come due. I wonder if anyone will have deep enough pockets or we'd just see the dehumanization of shared blood to cover the scraps.

     

    A bomb drops overseas, and a month later, an infant in a completely different hemisphere dies from a spike in gas prices.

    ​A 20% spike in gas prices feels like an annoyance to most of us, but mathematically, that 0.9% inflation bump translates to ~10 empty cribs and dozens of early funerals for the poorest families in 🇺🇸

     

    Whenever I load up the game all of it feels repetitive as i have replayed it multiple times. I want some mods (bug fixes, performance [1050ti] rig, qol, quest, etc) that would make it replayable. Any way it can be the same game but a new experience? (Any alternative game recommendations are most welcome).
