Did a test. I see whatcha mean
Why have I been blocked?

What can I do to resolve this?

Like our un-esteemed local USA leader said. This is just the" calm before the storm"

I'll explain a little better. Just for you bro. We will be leaving tap a talk sooner or later. Hopefully later as we got lot's of work to do still.
No telling how much bitching I will have swallow then.

Edit: I'd move the topic. Since it won't matter or apply later on down the road. But I'd rather go to the fridge and open a another Dos Equis.
Cuz it's Friday night.

Did another test for giggles
Something went wrong (but it’s not your fault)
You were visiting a Cloudflare customer’s website, and something went wrong. Don’t worry, it’s not your fault. If the problem isn’t resolved in the next few minutes, it’s most likely an issue with the web server you were trying to reach.
Cloudflare protects websites by sitting in front of Internet requests, and we work with website owners and hosting providers to identify underlying problems in their server configuration.
I feel like I am on Windows. Now where is my beer?

aha, uname slips through.
What triggers the block, specifically, is uname -a

Thanks for mentioning this, wish I'd seen it before trying my first attempt at a kernel-upgrade question :(
