This is actually not true. If you are part of a “persecuted group” without access to a safe alternative location inside the country of origin, you can seek asylum in the EU.

So for example, trans people from Florida currently cannot seek asylum in the EU although they are at risk of “discriminatory and disproportionate prosecution” for using public restrooms, because there is an “internal protection alternative”, in other states.

If however, federal law is passed banning trans folks from public bathroom use, it is likely that they could seek asylum in the EU.

Quarantine

How does it not mitigate the danger? You are putting a secure web server in front of the tunnel rather than basically all traffic being forwarded to the port?

It’s probably a bit dangerous to expose your internal network in this way. If you really want a server running at home, there are interesting services which provide that for a fee, or you could set up a “reverse ssh proxy”.

It’s easier to do on some flavor of Linux, but you will set up a background service to ssh to a cloud server you rent, which links a local port on the cloud server to a local port on your home computer. You can then run a web service like caddy server on the cloud server to securely serve this port.

I realize this sounds rather complex, but something to look into and learn.

Your Caddyfile on the cloud server will look something like this:

my_subdomain.my_domain.com {
    reverse_proxy / {
        to 127.0.0.1:8081
    }
    encode gzip
}

And the service on your local will look something like this:

[Unit]
Description=Keeps a reverse tunnel to '<your cloud server ip>' open on port 8081 on the remote server
After=network-online.target

[Service]
Environment="AUTOSSH_GATETIME=0"
ExecStart=/usr/bin/autossh -N -M 10986 -o "PubKeyAuthentication=yes" -o "PasswordAuthentication=no" -o "ExitOnForwardFailure=yes" -R 8081:127.0.0.1:8080 root@<your cloud server ip> -i <path to your ssh key> -p 2097

ExecStop=/bin/kill $MAINPID
Restart=always
RestartSec=5

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

You will have to allow ssh on a non standard port (arbitrarily 2097 here), that way you can still use ssh on the standard port 22. I have some services running like this through a NAT for years.

Maybe perception on my end too but I feel like the quality of clothes at the fast fashion level has cratered in the last five years

The clothes thing is interesting to me as an American living in Europe. I feel like our clothes are shapeless blobs made in china for fast fashion exclusively, while the clothes in Europe and UK seem to be much better in cut and quality. They are certainly more expensive in UK and western Europe though!

Guessing you don’t run a couple docker containers to support local development;-)

Well clearly you drank the Comcast kool-aid. Bandwidth is nothing like clean water supply, food, or generated electricity. It’s more like traffic on a highway. Sure, there is a finite amount of room on the highway, but until you hit that at any one time, there is room on the highway for more traffic.

It could be a problem if everyone was playing flight simulator at the same time but they are not.

That’s because soft toilet paper is too gay for Russia.

Parsing poorly documented c spaghetti code is not a good vehicle to learn programming anyway though. The root issue here is the fact that interop between open source software and other oss, closed source software, and firmware is a headless beast where each user has to take on the project manager role.
