Why don’t we just throw Lemmy behind wireguard while we’re at it.

Literally anything can go behind a VPN. Doesn’t mean much at all. And the majority of those are commonly left on the open internet for friends and family, which would be annoying af to set up with WireGuard.

I have enough issues dealing with VPN issues in my professional life, I don’t want to have to deal with them in my personal life as well.

Seriously?

Plex, Jellyfin, VaultWarden, AdGuard, Home Assistant, GameVault, any flavor of pastebin, any flavor of wiki, and the list goes on.

If you’re feeling spicy throw whatever the hell you want onto a reverse proxy and put it behind a zero trust login.

The idea that opening up anything at all through to the open internet is “dumb” is antiquated. Are there likely concerns that need to be addressed? Absolutely. But don’t make blanket statements about virtually nothing belonging on the open internet.

This is very short sighted. I can think of dozens of things to put on the open internet that aren’t inherently public. The majority are things for sharing with multiple people you want to have logins for. As long as the exposed endpoints are secure, there’s no inherent problem.

LLMs can’t reason. Their blocks can be worked around trivially. Ask chat gpt if it’s a therapist, or even tell it to pretend to be one, and it will tell you it can’t impersonate people.

Yet…

The laptop which was claimed to be chock full of crimes and child porn? Where exactly are those charges?

None if the above. It’s a site level for anyone from within the UK.

For god sakes don’t use Brave. Brave has been caught doing shady shit in the past, and the CEO is a piece of shit on top of that.

Use Firefox with privacy addons.

Eh? Matter is an open source standard, not proprietary in the slightest.

This seems as unlikely to be true, as it does sensationalist. Hate on Bitcoin all ya like, but don’t make off the cuff “calculations” and report it as news.

That is an objectively untrue statement.

While that can indeed be considered an issue, the idea that this somehow makes the internet objectively worse is debatable.

O.o Do you understand what Cloudflare actually does?
