parody

Neat - thanks. Looks like one could use the following, but not necessary:

208.67.222.222  
208.67.220.220

Thanks for the explanation and easily digestible analogy :)

Thanks everybody!

(1) ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) Echo Requests hardly constitute a burden on a server.
(2) There is little privacy concern simply exposing your IP to Cloudflare.
(3) Uptime-Kuma can be self hosted to accomplish this task with more bells and whistles.
(4) There is an appetite for daydreaming of DDOSing bad Alphabetic actors ;) You civilly digidisobedient rascals!

How do you explain me sticking to the fridge?

Good laying out the cost-benefit here.

there would also be papers with research, and I'm better off reading that.

I had this in mind: that eventually somebody links some paper where they’ve read the abstract… then it’s sensible to read the whole thing and see if it’s worth discussing with someone qualified I suppose.

Thanks 🙂

Thanks for the great input everybody!

Haha might just ask “hey does the gearbox ever rumble like that?”, that’s all 🙂

s/o to old school car forums who’ve guided my way when I’ve known zero, btw

Good point.

Would you take a risk when reading from someone who may be lying to you, to the point you would

scribble down some questions to ask your own medical folks

?

Yeah it sure is, probably the top reason the parody was so dumb.

In fact I only have one user in mind writing this post, someone I forget who posted long ago about a condition I cannot remember.

I think they said they would block anyone who tried to offer any advice. But even they had probably had years and years of second and nth opinions.

Come to think of it, I think I’m also responding to someone who demanded anyone seeking care “listen to your doctors!“ in a way that seem to preclude the fact that there is a safe way to use the fallible input of anonymous strangers as a tentative guiding factor.
