  • There are multiple ways of doing this and I’m not sure which methods tik tok is using.

    • ip address there’s a group called IANA that issues blocks of IP addresses to ISPs and there a companies like Maxmind that package that info. apps can create rules block requests based on that info that block requests coming from a specific location or return an error to the user

    • removing from the app store Companies can ask app stores to no longer offer downloads in a specific region and as the app updates it will become more busted over time

    • user information Based info provided by the user directly during sign up or from the social login a user used to sign up with tik tok

    It’s possible it could be a local firewall that is reaching out to their cloud for lists of bad IP addresses or domains or a local firewall that is configured from a cloud interface. The other case is it could be web application firewall or WAF which where a company intercepts traffic, drops malicious requests and forwards it to your actual web server










  • Until recently fast food was faster and cheaper than sit down joints and it’s easier to eat while you drive. Since it’s only been recent that is gotten slower and more expensive people still reach for it when they want quick calories. Unless fast food becomes faster and cheaper again it will probably decline from gas station food which is faster and getting better in most parts of the US and ordering ahead from local joints.




  • Both grandpas are dead but all 4 are amazing and I wish I saw my grandma’s more. I never learned a ton about their past first hand besides my dad’s dad who told me about Korea. I mostly talk about what’s going on not the past. Sometimes it feels like seeing a teacher or coach outside of school when we talk about the past because you saw them as grandparents and not normal people.
