one of my dreams (I know it's technically kind of very hard to pull) is to be able to block them DNS level, the same way I block ads on my router level

One of the many reasons I love Mullvad (been using it for 4 years now) is their simple pricing—$5/month whether you subscribe monthly, yearly, or even 10 years out.
I wanted to give your product a try, but the gap between the 1-month and 2-year plans is so big that a single month feels like a rip-off, while I’m not ready to commit to 2 years either.
On payments: for a privacy-focused product, Monero isn’t just a luxury, it’s a must (at least for me). A VPN that doesn’t accept Monero forces users into surveillance finance, since card and bank payments are legally preserved forever by processors. That means even if the VPN “keeps no logs,” the payment trail still ties your real identity to the service.

1,000 messages per day should be plenty as a daily development driver. I use claude code sonnet 4 exclusively and I do not send more than 1,000 messages per day. However, that is my current understanding. I am certainly not pressing enter 1,000 times! Maybe there are more messages being sent under the hood that I do not realize?
Still not sure if it's 1000 messages or calls though, if messages that's good.
I discovered this issue 2-3 years ago. On slightly older machines, there was a palpable startup time. My fix was going through OhMyZSH and stripping away all the parts that I felt unnecessary (I call this my "leanZSH" and its considerably lighter version of OMZ.) It doesn't track upstream, and I manually update the plugin directory once in a while. Surprisingly OhmyZSH is pretty modular and doesn't break easily.
[Not the best hackjob out there but here it is:
https://github.com/gradientwolf/leanzsh
If you want to update it just copy over the latest `plugin/` folder from OMZ repo. You can get rid of all the plugins you dont want, as well as the themes. It somehow works]
I think you're better off switching to https://starship.rs
I did try to do my whole zsh config/theme from scratch, but it did take some time and lot of small features here and there were no worth the effort (like python version, vevn, and such) so I just switched to starship which is very fast and easy to use
Ah, thanks for the pricing link. I saw 'Kiro is free to use during preview' or similar and assumed pricing is hidden.
At $39/month, is 3000 interactions a high limit? I use Claude Code on the $30 plan (I think), and routinely hit limits. I'm not ready to jump to the next tier, though. I think it's $200/month, and the NGO I work for isn't prepared to throw that kind of cash at developers (I'm second-rate here; the science comes first)
CC have $20 and $100 and a $200 tiers
The solution is simple: loosen regulation around building, and let people build more!
When houses become an investment, that's when you start screwing young people! And it stops being an asset if you just simply build more

When Claude kind of cut them off, they realized these AI Agentic tools are as good as your model, little to no moat here.
And it was a crazy deal to begin with, for reference JetBrains who's building IDEs for 24 years are evaluated at $7 billions

Mullvad is the only one that have RAM-only (diskless) servers. Both Mullvad and IVPN have Monero as a payment method (which is the best for privacy) and both have Anonymous sign-up no email required.
Proton is last because they don't support Monero (only BTC which isn't very anonymous by design)
All have third party independent audits and are OSS
