I hope that company kept good backups. I was fortunate that what little I had on the machine in question wasn't lost, save for one encrypted NANO seed that must've been overwritten.

Last week I learned a lesson the hard way on using partition managers like GParted.

Double-check the disk you're partitioning before applying any operations, and don't partition a disk when you're tired.

Cherish all the good memories in your life, however few there may be. Nostalgia can be a refreshing source of happiness, and one that never grows old over time. #MondayMemo

Not giving up applies especially if you have a good idea, such as for a project. If you give up, someone else will capitalize on your idea and succeed. #MondayMemo

Make an effort to reciprocate favors someone does for you. For instance, if someone got you out of debt or other trouble, then help them or someone else do the same. #MondayMemo

Teach those who are willing to learn. There is no point in teaching those who do not even care to listen, as it will cost you time and nerves while yielding nothing. #MondayMemo

The site has been updated to catch and display the correct error message if someone runs into this. Thanks again for reporting. I'll look into loosening firewall settings later.

Sometimes bad habits are connected to good habits though. Think of socializing in your local pub / bar vs. getting drunk.

You're welcome. Seeing as this is an issue with Cloudflare, is there anything you can do on your side to prevent such requests from being flagged?

Very interesting. Thanks for reporting. The request is being flagged as malicious and blocked by Cloudflare. It uses the same error code as not being logged in which confuses the FE.

Testing again: /etc/

That's what I figured, but I can't understand why I cannot mention file paths in a memo. Is it a bug, or does Memo intentionally prohibit such content?

You won't believe why I struggled all afternoon to post this memo.

Mentioning the full path of the hosts file caused posting to fail.

Try posting a memo with it and see what happens.

Here's a simple tip if you want to block a specific site on Linux. Go to etc, find hosts and add the following line: 127.0.0.1 example.com.

This line redirects the domain example.com to localhost.

Test. Test. Test.

If Memo is working for me right now, then this should end up on-chain.

When programming, one difficult task you may encounter is implementing logic, especially if it involves nested loops. In such cases, it helps to visualize each statement and how it affects variables. #MondayMemo

Being a person of value involves learning from mistakes and making the most of your station in life. Use your failures to guide you toward success. #MondayMemo

To avoid destructive habits, you need to avoid opportunities to engage in them. This strategy works only if you're occupied by work or self-improvement in general. #MondayMemo

Credit card = better consumer protection - using them responsibly shouldn't be avoided (I'm using them like a debit card - paying them off every month - 7 week delay, 0 interest)

Correct, and since credit cards offer better consumer protection than debit cards, the former is preferred for online purchases. Easier for a bank to get its money back than yours.
