We take security very seriously at Straive. We set high standards – not just for ourselves, but our guests, too.
Here’s the unofficial policy guide for visitors to Straive Singapore, exemplified by the sites blocked on our guest WiFi network.
- Please avoid childishness. No emojis. No emojikitchen.com, gitmoji.dev
- Write your own code. Avoid AI. No cursor.com, cline.bot, glideapps.com
- Avoid code entirely, if possible. No marimo.app, motherduck.com, firebase.studio, posthog.com
- No presentations either, please. No marp.app, revealjs
- Stay organized. Avoid crutches. No dynalist.io, focusmate.com, opennote.me
- You should already be fit, physically & mentally. No freedomfromdiabetes.org, artofliving.online
- We prefer real, not digital, shopping. No fairprice.com
- Fake data is not encouraged. No jsonplaceholder.typicode.com, placehold.co
- Please spell out URLs in full. No bit.ly, t.co
- Learning is for wimps. No maven.com, study.iitm.ac.in
In fact, we’re so secure, we block our own sites. No learnovate.straive.com, policies.straive.com, myapps.straive.com.
Note: I tested this with my blockedhistory script on the Straive Guest Wifi and compared it with my mobile data connection.
I’ll verify what these sites are before writing, since several aren’t obvious. Let me check the ones I’m less sure about.Context7 is an MCP server for AI coding. Let me check the genuinely obscure ones.Now the obscure/local ones I genuinely don’t know.moddedbear is an indie dev’s personal blog. Let me check a few more for good thematic clusters.chr.so is ambiguous, so I’ll skip it. Let me confirm a couple more for flavor.Here’s the addendum, matching the deadpan style of the original:
Addendum (June 2025)
We continue to take security very seriously at Straive. A year on, our standards have only risen. As of June 2026, our guest network has blocked:
- Curiosity is a liability. Don’t read about AI - especially from the people building it. No deepmind.google, blog.google, hacks.mozilla.org, cloudwars.com
- AI was already banned. Giving it skills and tools is treasonous. No agentskills.io, skill.md, modelcontextprotocol.io, context7.com, factory.ai
- Use your own face and your own voice. No stand-ins. No synthesia.io, aistudios.com, speaktor.com
- Learning is for wimps. Learning over beer, doubly so. No nerdnite.com, bangalore.nerdnite.com, mumbai.nerdnite.com
- One reality is plenty. We will not fund your escape from it. No vrchat.com, hello.vrchat.com
- Your terminal should be a punishment, not a joy. No ghostty.org. And no hobbyists to pick up better habits from. No moddedbear.com
- Idle chatter is bad. Measuring your idle chatter is worse. No discord.com, twitter.com, analytics.twitter.com
- You’re already fit (see above), so you needn’t track anyone else’s stats either. No sports-reference.com
- And resist temptation: you do not need a new phone, however tasteful. No sg.nothing.tech
