  • Let's just do away with law and courts and such. Releasing evidence would incriminate people and prove they are guilty.

    Where's the offramp for this timeline?

  • You have 9 friends?

  • Thanks for the sign but can you put a wider space between the boar and and and and and dog please?

  • The one good thing of brexit: UK isn't beholden to this.

    The bad thing is that their own laws aren't much better. And of course all the other brexit bad stuff

  • I'm not quite 50 myself (also next year) but at this age it's close enough. It could get worse, it could get better, but right now it's hard to enjoy a couple of beers knowing how shitty you feel the next day.

  • At 50 you regret reading the words "2 beers"

  • You may have a sensitivity or allergy to hops. Bitter beers are made with more hops and that might explain your reaction.

  • I forgot about the free VPN services. Good point. But yes, the government shouldnt be the ones raising our kids. As you said, this is all about control and getting information. Nothing more.

  • That's the whole point of the discussion: what does "VPN" mean in this context? Is it only these VPN providers that let you be elsewhere, or VPN technology and traffic in general. The prior could be limited by blocking traffic to specific IP addresses that belong to VPN providers, albeit in a very laborious and expensive cat and mouse game. The latter would affect all VPN traffic including that which is used to safely connect to work sites for example. Which would be stupid and damaging.

    Even if VPN providers could be banned at IP level, what's stopping you from spinning up a host in another country, setting up wireguard on that?

    I understand they are frustrated that their excellent child protection plans and user information gathering is so easy to circumvent, but their proposed solutions are just absurd.

    If you have a VPN then chances are you have a credit card, which means you are an adult, which means you can access porn. The VPN is your age verification :)

  • I'm so confused right now

  • I've just been reading the bobiverse books and wondered about it as a game and this looks perfect. Thanks

  • Will be adding this to my installed games soon. Thanks

  • Nah not grumpy just good additional advice. Thanks for taking the time to add to the conversation

    Initial self hosting should be non critical for yourself only for the reasons you mention. After you have worked out kinks and learned more about it all you can start using software for more critical tasks. I still don't use my self hosting for anything apart from myself (except jellyfin for family) because I don't need the pressure of availability :)

  • The internet being what it is has there been any negative or inappropriate images or text? Because if not, my faith in the interwebs will slowly heal

  • Removed

  • Lol. Same. I only realised I might have some level of ADHD when so many memes rang true to me. Perhaps that's how it should be diagnosed. It's certainly quicker and easier.
