This is nice to hear after finding out what an absolute boomer Jeremy is.

Zingers are lame and boring. Elaborate or go

It is a documented phenomenon that ASD people don't produce enough melatonin but research of sketchy about long-term effects of its use and there is essentially no research on its long-term use in ASD people.

I took 2mg every day for a year and I'm stepping it up to 5mg. It does help.

It is possible that you are taking too much

the Dark Reader Extension

That would explain that!

Also I stand corrected; I'm reading that code now and it only actually runs when it generates video thumbnails which is maybe 10 times a year.

I doubt I have such a thing as a daily visitor (not even myself) but who knows ;)

Shadowserver visits your site a minimum of 10 times daily, so don't worry! You have visitors.

How are you managing dark mode? When I go to your site it's white.

don’t fancy myself typing complex command lines when I can avoid it,

lmao, my real code that runs for thousands of visitors daily:

// This shouldn't be so complicated but I don't fucking understand video encoding so it's here to catch an issue with the videos I generate upstream
$cmd = "$ffmpegPath -i \"$videoPath\" -vf \"scale=trunc(min(iw\,200*iw/ih)/2)*2:200,setsar=1/1\" -c:v libx264 -crf 30 -preset veryslow -pix_fmt yuv420p -movflags +faststart \"$thumbnailPath\"";
exec($cmd);

Meshtastic
BOINC
Tor
I2P

Just off the top of my head. Meshtastic is probably the most similar to Helium but I don't know what Helium is and their landing page makes me not want to. BOINC supports projects not in the official lists, just google around.

what about this is crypto mining?

Anubis is provided to the public for free in order to help advance the common good. In return, we ask (but not demand, these are words on the internet, not word of law) that you not remove the Anubis character from your deployment.
If you want to run an unbranded or white-label version of Anubis, please contact Xe to arrange a contract.

This is icky to me. Cool idea, but this is weird.

You can boil the logic down and apply it however you want. The fact is that different people have different levels of tolerance for bullshit and VPN users are a large source of it. TOR is also inherently harmless but exit nodes end up on banlists everywhere because malicious users use them to the point that exit nodes are pre-emptively banned in a lot of places because some people just don't wanna deal with it. The big email providers have a zero-tolerance policy for the same reason; if your domain misbehaves even once then you're on the shit-list forever because it's not worth playing whack-a-mole with malicious actors.

Because shared VPNs are also used by malicious actors and some admins just don't care about dealing with that.

They're already more complicated than I want them to be so I'm passing on that
