This is "OCDA". This guy actually did this to a company we were considering partnering with, which is how I found out about him.
Turns out, no surprise, he does no fact checking and can harass companies who did nothing wrong. He's been sued and is in the process of being sued again.
There are a whole slew of other issues with his approach as well... Shitty all around.
I was raised being told I shouldn't need meds to function, so I thought much the same. I'm glad I didn't persist in that thinking. It's not night and day, in fact I would say it's subtle enough - like growing hair, you don't notice, but those around you occasionally might.
It means neither. It's a commonly used term when roleplaying post-apocalyptic scenarios to denote "before the apocalypse". So OPs scenario is survivors of an apocalypse lead to believe a Geiger Counter is a gold detector.
Edit: to clarify, the "fall" it's referring to is the fall of civilization
Roguelikes and roguelites tend to be my favorite. Ones where each run is new and you can toy with different builds and usually get pretty OP toward the end (or get cut down early because luck wasn't in your favor or you made a mistake).
We see you OP. We see what you're really into. :P
Kids are stupid xD. My bike memory like that is our parents for one of those BMX bikes from a garage sale. The ones with the bars coming out the wheels for tricks.
My sister, brother, and I decided those were for carrying additional people, so obviously having one driving, one standing in the rear, and one standing on the front would be fun. But in our infinite wisdom we decided going down the concrete driveway was a bad idea, so we decided to go down the dirt hill (which had a steeper incline).
We had one tame wipeout and decided to go for round two. This time we made it to the bottom of the hill (where the trees and branches/debris are) and wiped out. It wasn't pretty lol. No hospital but a few road rashes (or the dirt equivalent) and other various cuts and bruises led to us going inside to our mom for intervention.
She was not happy. The next day, the bike was gone.
I've been using Porkbun for over 5 years and haven't had any issues. I switched from a mix of Google Domains and Namecheap.
One likely reason they're still on X is so those that didn't get the memo to use their app or otherwise can't still can still get alerts. Switching to multiple accounts would require people who likely wouldn't notice to follow the others, and those that would do that would hopefully have downloaded the app. And yes, if a person isn't noticing they need to get the app they likely won't notice a critical alert, but when you're dealing with people's lives everything counts.
I decided to make a career change into IT (didn't stick). When I was working the other employees were just other people trying to make ends meet and I never judged them for, like you said, not being specialized in general computing. I did however judge some of the other admins for their decisions and attitudes. It was so weird being an "admin" and this being told I'm "above" the general employees.
So right now when browsing the internet if you take no steps to protect your privacy, it's like your house is surrounded by corporate spies collecting data on everything they can see you doing through the windows. And these are some huge windows.
Taking steps like adblocking, blocking known trackers, blocking third party cookies, VPN, and / or, blocking JavaScript altogether is basically just closing / blocking those windows to make it harder for the spies. Sure, they can still glean some info but significantly less.
With Chrome's recent change, now you've been opted-in to having a tracker strapped to your chest. They promise the data is less exposing than the current data being collected, but that can change They claim it'll protect your privacy because instead of the spies collecting data directly to provide to their employers they simply have to walk up to a terminal and collect the data the chest tracker has collected and curated.
This is just my interpretation, I haven't thoroughly researched it I simply decided it was too much and moved back to Firefox as my primary browser after using Chrome for over a decade.
What you're looking for is a reverse proxy, or in this case, a TCP reverse proxy. I believe only NGINX plus (paid?) supports that. You're probably better off using haproxy.
I haven't done it so I can't help in that front, but I found this: https://www.linuxbabe.com/mail-server/smtp-imap-proxy-with-haproxy-debian-ubuntu-centos
Which is close to your scenario (I just looked at the first result). Otherwise the search term "haproxy imap" or "haproxy mail server" may help you find something, maybe throwing in wireguard or VPN.
Cherish them more.
