Disabling Risky Server Features and Dreaming of Allied-Only Hosting
August 17, 2024
After a throwaway jab at Google's logo, the real page is about server hardening: some features feel cool but too risky, so they get shut off, and the bigger wish is for US-based or allied-only infrastructure.
Rating PM, Minister and Business Pathways Through Sri Lankan Candidates
6:15 p.m.
Here are a few options, for the PM / Minister / Business pathway:
1 being low, and 10 being high, higher number = better
1. Ranil : I can't accept a cabinet minister position. This is because I have a clever, clear vision for every department. This includes restructuring the gov't. However, while I would be happy to listen and follow his lead, and support their mission. There are too many clashes. I could possibly, serve as the official, President's Secretariat, like Prasanga's dad Menikdiwela was to his JR. Nevertheless, I must admit, Ranil, would be the most politically advantageous, in terms of intellectual positioning of myself into his government. There is also close chemistry between me and his cousin Mahinda Samarasinghe and Sean. The fact he has not got many ministers, allows me opportunity, and wiggle room flexibility, to take up bigger posts, or portfolios, such as defense, perhaps finance because there is nobody else, and even trade or foreign or home affairs or tourism or education or health. This allows me to test the waters with a lifebuoy or political safety. As one can argue, the whole Lehan thing, came to be, because I was able to attack others, but took no attack or damage myself, and that, had it only been a fair fight, where I would have to take the hits or stabs, I so happily dished out. I would not have such a high approval rating amongst all of you, my pay piggies or attention piggies.
I'd give it a 7 for political advantage.
2. Sajith : There is ease, as the guy's age is closer to mine. You need to always remind yourself, that however much we might disagree, the fact remains I am 30. Which in politics, is a baby infant toddler. This means, that even if Gota was wrong on some issues, he was not wrong on everything. He has also lawfully amended the constitution with amendment 20, with a majority of votes by SLPP MPs. This is therefore legally binding. Even if we can bravely challenge this, as we have good domain knowledge in constitutional law: which I did do so, by telling elections commissioner that 1 out of 60 rule changes wasn't the primary purpose of Gota's amendment. Harsha Fernando, a fellow freemason, and many other lawyers, strongly prefer me, because we can update these laws. The issue, is the troubling fact, is not simply that I aimed to appoint Sheryl Sandberg as PM, and then acting president, and executive president for 18 weeks; so I can go on holiday to play the newest Baldur's Gate or Helldivers 2 or GTA 6. But the disturbing truth here, is the addition of, play those games "with her kids". As she's sort of my mom's age. And this glaring revelation is what is truly nerve wracking. As it tells you where this is headed. The buddhist monks, senior ones, have even told Sajith, they want young leaders taking up posts. Again, he is my mom's age. See, you also have to come to terms with Jalani, Dulanjalee, they're not my friends; they're friends with my mom, who is a generation above me in age. As she's my mother. I should as far as SL phonetics goes, like in Singapore singlish, I should be addressing Wasantha and Hemachandra as "uncle" or "Rosy Aunty" or similar, or "Sajith Uncle" and "Ranil Grandpa" or similar. Which I don't do, as it betrays my young age to everyone else, as they will see it. In any case, there is slightly better direct chemistry with Sajith, because he is younger; meaning it's easier to push modern laws which Ranil wouldn't dare implement. I also have very solid relations with Harsha De Silva, so that's two Harshas I respect. However, there is a lot of competition, and demand onset price inflation for those positions.
I would suggest, a 6 in policy advantage.
3. Dilith : Perhaps weirdly, he sees the new Gota in Lehan. And he is beyond impressed. A lot of the business people here, in SL, from Sumal, to Harry, to Dian Gomes, to Thilanga/ Jagath, to Lalith or Hemachandra, they all, seem to think, gee, if I sponsored Lehan, a unicorn in this horse race, who will fly over the race track, before the other donkeys and ponies. I can make everything. As Modi's got 20 people running 20 firms who make 80% of the new wealth since the time he was elected as PM. And every one of the political leaders' friends in every country, of all time, is successful, disproportionately. They see a massive ROI with me. Why waste so much of our lobbying funds on decision makers; when we can have the head of state on speed dial? It's a better, more sound investment. This is why, they seem to be so attracted to my Mithril character. The guy also, kind of, wants to take part, or create a situation, where people like me, representing the Sinhalese, youth, are able to shine. They seem to value my critical thinking skills. Dilith is like Ranil, somewhat intellectually gifted, I'd say Lehan : Ranil : Dilith = 9 : 6 : 4 which is an awfully nice comment for him. I'd say it's a 9 for my shared identity. We're both kind of patriotic, although I am more about globalist capitalist empire building, and they're too busy making sandcastle kingdoms on the beach.
4. Anura : Interestingly, my iq range is slightly on a barely elevated tier. So this makes my political economic theory harsh, or harder to make sense of. Worse, my religious beliefs are more realistic, evidence learned. So there is a difficulty with relating with people as easily. This leaves Anura well suited for me. Because he is an atheist, it beckons me. I think that the communist political might, is at odds with me, and my own SLWF goals, which was to be Chamath's SPACs system, but we use SLWF; with 1,200 spacs, which we call SLWF, as we convert everyone into an investor, to invest on your behalf, to make money for you. It was supposed to be this way, so that everybody would become an asset, on our calculation sheet. So 23m net assets, not net negatives. This would have been difficult to materialize politically, because of the fact that there is a lot of political resistance, especially in the form of democratic demands. There's the civil liberties movement, where they would say rightly, Lehan is a dictator, and they're going to protest my eminent domain / compulsory land purchase. They would also be vocally opposed to my gov't handing out monopoly charters to the SLWF firms. This would have meant, a closer to perfect, free market. Brought upon by our new legal system. However again, it would be tough, and I was not qualified as a presidential candidate as my age was below the amended constitutional requirement. He will by 2030, find that public resistance to communism is solidified, making it right for my entry.
In terms of political undertaking, of unscrupulous means: 8
5. Namal : As he is 36, and I am 30. It is easier to talk to him directly. Two Sinhalese princes, will get along. Plus with the way I put on an entire The Sopranos, every day Top Gun Maverick The United States of Lehan propaganda - every waking hour - the demand for my leadership is sought all across the world, in every continent, except like Antarctica. Those people, prefer Lehan as a one man think tank, on the same plateau as CFR, as opposed to the disproven Viyath Maga. Dhammika thinks Lehan is a bigger brand than Dilmah.
I'd say Namal's indicative of a 8 for a politically forgiving environment.
6. Janaka : His kids would be happy to partner or fight with me. But I'd say he's a 4. As they worst encapsulate the failed society we are.
7. Sarath : Well, I'm the only one with a conscription program. So i wouldn't be quick to dismiss our second favorite soldier.
But he's a 9 for possible positioning, as I'm a far more unforgivingly, ruthless politician like Lee Kuan Yew, who insulted the public officer who committed suicide after soliciting a bribe, as he should've done better. However, there will be a bitter aftertaste lingering with an autocrat like him, but not Ranil, and so, it would make it harder for me to enter in 2030 as president.
Securing the Server and Arguing for Allied Hosting
10:30 p.m.
I gotta get dinner
this is interesting
My server has been configured pretty securely
I somewhat feel comfortable with some cool features
But it's too risky
So best to disable
If we move it to a US based location, then it's fine
I think Trump should demand US or UK businesses only pick allied servers by force, to deny the enemy ease of server access
