The reels and ads they shove in my face are often very scantily clad women. I could see a country/culture with different values getting real upset about that.

How dare you! First of all, it’s a beautiful distributed graph theory tree model…
Perhaps this, from their FAQ (question and answer copied in their entirety so you can actually read it)
Connectivity Issues
Why can’t I access Catbox/access files on Catbox (files.catbox.moe)?Good question! It turns out certain governments in the world hate freedom of information, don’t have net neutrality, don’t see online service providers as legally exempt entities, or a combination of the three!You will have issues accessing Catbox/files on Catbox if you are connecting from the following countries or providers:
Austrailia
Why? - The Australian government had a heart attack after the Christchurch shooting, and decided that Catbox was a terrorist propaganda spreading website, and has instructed multiple Australian ISPs to implement DNS blocks of Catbox’s domains.
How to resolve? - Changing your DNS servers to a public server (i.e. 8.8.8.8, 76.76.2.0, or 208.67.222.222) or utilizing DoH should mitigate this problem.
Ireland/UK
Why? - Unfortunately the love of footy has overtaken the sensibilites of the British and Irish governments, and they have decided to implement an IP level block on Catbox’s primary IP address, due to clips of games being uploaded to Catbox…
How to resolve? - You will need to utilize a VPN in order to evade this traffic hijack.
Iran
Why? - Unknown, but I’m sure you can probably make some pretty accurate guesses.
How to resolve? - You will need to use a VPN to bypass the IP-level block.
Afghanistan
Why? - Unknown, but I’m sure you can probably make some pretty accurate guesses.
How to resolve? - You will need to use a VPN to bypass the IP-level block.
Comcast/Comcast Business
Why? - Comcast Business’ “SecurityEdge” hijacking attack intecepts traffic going towards Catbox. Residential customers are blocked by “xFi Advanced Security” I have been unable to determine if this is a DNS level block, or an IP level block.
How to resolve? - Comcast Residential: Disable the “xFi Advanced Security” hijack on your router. Comcast Business: Disable the “SecurityEdge” hijack on your account. See here.
Spectrum
Why? - Spectrum’s “SecurityEdge” hijacking attack intercepts DNS requests for Catbox for an unknown reason.
How to resolve? - Spectrum Residential customers should disable the “SecurityEdge” hijack in their router/account settings, or use a VPN to bypass the hijack.
Rogers
Why? - Unknown. It appears to be dynamically filtering web traffic to Catbox.
How to resolve? - Disable the “Advanced Security” hijack attack in your Rogers settings
Verizon
Why? - Unknown. This is a DNS based block, which means Verizon’s DNS servers are returning no result for catbox.moe.
How to resolve? - Changing your DNS servers to a public server (i.e. 8.8.8.8, 76.76.2.0, or 208.67.222.222) or utilizing DoH should mitigate this problem.
Quad9
Why? - Quad9 actually pulls an aggregate list of URL blacklists and uses them for their filtered DNS service. Catbox is frequently added to no-name blacklists for various reasons.
How to resolve? - Use Quad9’s alternative DNS server 9.9.9.10, or switch to another public DNS server.
These days my most common action is to “hide” or “block” random posts that are in my feed from pages or groups I’ve never heard of. Blocking ads is more steps but I still do that for particularly egregious crap getting pushed on me.

As I’ve matured in my career, I write more and more bash. It is absolutely appropriate for production in the right scenarios. Just make sure the people who might have to maintain it in the future won’t come knocking down your door with torches and pitchforks…
I stand a lot on transit, I just prefer it. Only sit if I’ve been walking all day or extra tired for some reason. No blocking seats though, I’ll definitely move if I spot someone eyeing it, or to get past me for any other reason.
It’s been a long time since I’ve had to deal with text rendering, so forgive me if this question is silly or uses wrong terminology:
Are the unicode LTR/RTL markers part of the filename or is the display layer supposed to figure it out by the codepoints used?

I watched Jon Stewart interview someone recently and the first word out of her mouth for every single question was “Listen”. At first it was a quirk but quickly became irritating as hell.
