Nice one!

Short answer: I am currently doing option 2.

Long answer:

I would say it depends on your mental condition(s). There are some conditions, specially transient ones where you could get some "as you go" counseling, apply the recommendations and review if needed. Others like depression, ADHD, GAD, etc I would recommend (based on experience as ADHD+GAD patient) to stick to a long-term commitment.

Taking myself as an example, currently I have a "subscription model" with my counselor/therapist where I pay in advance for a specific number of sessions and get 20% discount from normal session price. It is important for me to really identify the deeper issues as well organize the inner complications of living with ADHD + GAD, also important for accountability as in my case the therapist gives some "tasks" to me in a weekly basis.

I see this a lot in tech companies. Amazingly skilled engineers, people that convert ideas into code quickly but completely lack interpersonal skills and are emotionally very immature. The response could not be worse (well, in fact it could... but nevermind). Not humble, not compassionate, kind of arrogant and no clear action plan.

Well, Cloudflare entered the red flag companies list. As employer and as product.

Personally I would expect no response at all or a response admitting they were in fault, admit the failure from top down management and set some concrete measures to be taken.

In the end companies - still - depend on people. Big image damage!

Good memories - mostly. Used extensively Postfix between 2003-2011 when worked on ISPs. Back then our Postfix servers handled around 150 Million Mails per month, we had very few issues, mostly related to integrations with other tools like spamassassin and database mailbox auth.

The new Brazilian government still dreams of rebuilding in South America what was lost in the Soviet Block.

They are hard-line socialists and as good authoritarian socialists they want to control and regulate every aspect of the daily life.

This has nothing to do with "fake news" but with media regulation and opposition strangulation. During the last year election period the Constitutional rights of freedom of speech were lifted to avoid "fake news" during the process. The result: only conservative/right content was censored. Real facts like President Lula association with dictators (for example Nicaragua's Ortega) was censored.

The West supported Lula strongly during election and now is slowly realized the huge mistake this was. Lula supports China and Russia, hates the US and dreams of a Great Motherland uniting all South America countries into a big latino socialist republic...
