  • Their malware protection is on by default (can be turned off or dialed up to include porn but obviously there are hundreds of thousands of customers on default settings), and it’s a “selling point” so the best course of action is probably to make a ruckus about false positives while keeping it on so that I can spot any others. Too bad that most client software (browsers, apps) doesn’t show details of why content (such as a Lemmy post image) failed to load – the apparent error for O₂ Security intervention is “net::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID” because they’re doing MitM for HTTPS to show their “Access denied” page – so it seems like a server is just down until I put the URL of the resource into the address bar.




  • Or just want a map that you can cut a small piece (up to a square 10° of longitude) from and have it just work (no skewing or non-proportional scaling required) although non-interactive world maps should use Robinson, Winkel-Tripel or something.

    Of course, “a square 10° of latitude”, while the same size on the full map, will cover different areas. The side length is approximately:

    • 1110 km near the equator (0°)
    • 960 km in North/South Africa or Florida (30°)
    • 790 km in NYC, Venice or south NZ (45°)
    • 558 km in Oslo, Anchorage or northernmost Antarctic islands (60°)
    • 289 km in central Greenland, northernmost peninsula of Russia or Canada or southernmost sea (75°)
    • at higher latitudes, approx. 𝑥 km when 6𝑥 km from the pole

    If you’re at the Amundsen-Scott research station, a square 10° of latitude won’t do, as it covers just about your bed.
