The question is what you mean with “too much self-awareness”, which you haven’t said. I strongly assume that what you’re talking about isn’t self-awareness at all, but self-worth issues.

Because just knowing yourself… is simply never a bad thing. If it is, then it isn’t the thing you’re talking about.

New things. I simply can’t stay with anything. Makes it basically impossible to have any decent job, because people want and expect you to be an expert at what you do.

But yeah, that’s the thing, it doesn’t matter where it is based when there can’t be any information gleamed from it.

There are multiple forces at work in a converging rocket nozzle:

1. The exhaust is pushed outward faster since the hole is smaller, giving the rocket extra thrust
2. The exhaust hits the wall of the nozzle as it gets thinner, braking the rocket

These two effectively cancel out, which is why the actual effect of making the nozzle thinner/converge is that it increases the back pressure within the engine (constricted space, smaller hole), essentially (idk how) increasing the efficiency of the fuel burning.

However, when the nozzle gets too thin, the exhaust becomes faster than its speed of sound. Since the pressure travels at the speed of sound, it can now not actually get back into the engine anymore. So that’s the limit of how thin you can make the nozzle. The pressure has to get back into the engine to have its effect, so you can’t make the exhaust travel faster than its speed of sound.

If any of this sounds wrong to anyone, let me know, I’m not an expert in this.

It’s also why rocket nozzles can’t be infinitely thin :)

What do I do to get rid of the tracking now?

You stop using these services.

I’m a programmer, and if they generate page URLs that are unique to you with your tracking baked in, do not allow you to view the page non-logged in, then there’s no way to get rid of it, short of hacking their servers/databases.

If you can view it without an account, then you just browse without an account, without using a browser that has a unique fingerprint. So basically use something like the Tor one. Unfortunately for Instagram, I think both is not possible.

Of course it might be like the other comment says, it’s only the special share URL that is like this, and the one you browse around normally isn’t. Then you just use that one.

I just use the qbittorrent “search” feature. Add some of the search plugins for different sites that you can find when you open the search options.

*Arrs are nicer, but a lot to setup imo. qbittorrent you just download, open it when you need it, and then you’re done with it. If you don’t torrent a lot, it’s more time-efficient.
