  • Connaisseurs know: they are. Engineers are still working on a major roadblock though: the model fails to tell the CEO's face from his ass, and it's not a technological problem...

  • Don't give Google ideas for sphincter detection...

  • Dance, peasants! Be merry or I shall pull out the red pen again!

  • Step 1: Don't put incompetent con men in power...

  • "I used to have a living wage, friends I could talk to, affordable energy and water and intelligence that allowed me to think critically and make decisions for myself. When billionaires came along with their glorified digital parrots, you obviously can't have all that now."

  • When I get hungry, I just start grazing.

  • "Smart", proprietary tech and with mandatory internet access = do not buy. If you do: expect not to own, but be owned, and suffer enshittification at some point down the line. The only way to win the game is not to play it.

  • Average MAGAt: "I did nazi that coming!"

  • Tomorrow's TACO Tuesday. If I were French, I wouldn't be worried...

  • This right here. Nextcloud is also great for syncing your address book via CardDAV, even allowing for a shared contacts list with your significant other for contacts you both need to access.

  • No disagreement here generally. The EU had a good track record in terms of holding big tech accountable, and GDPR has certainly paved the way for similar regulation elsewhere (looking at you, California).

    That said, EU bodies have recently shown much less determination: the recent Twitter fine under the DSA was a joke, born from fear of retaliation from the Trump administration which had been bought by Musk beforehand stands in firm support of American companies out of the pure goodness of their black hearts. The same goes for the so-called trade "deal" with the US and the "Digital Omnibus", both of which caved to American business interests. And with regard to the EU's ongoing dependence on the US - both technologically as well as militarily - that is unlikely to change in the short term.

  • Social media has had a negative effect on the youth, it sucks.

    FTFY. Algorithmic social media owned by American big tech is a net negative for anyone involved, save the billionaire owners of these platforms. If you feel like banning something, ban algorithmic social media in its entirety. Deny these networks to operate in your country, full stop.

    Just don't give me that crap about "social media bans only for under-16s", which is just a pretext for introducing identity verification and killing anonymity on the net.

  • ...and that is why we need the ban! /s

  • Time for a slap on the wrist, that'll teach 'em!

  • I've started working on something very similar ( Client -> Wireguard -> homeserver -> Mullvad -> Internet), but didn't get too far and saved the project for later. IIRC, I had issues defining more clearly in the post-up / post-down hooks which traffic was supposed to go where. Upon bringing up the tunnel to Mullvad, I'd lose SSH access instantaneously. I'll watch this thread closely and contribute once I get around to tackle the issue sometime this summer.

  • There's plenty of valuable data to be hoarded for rainy days: Wikipedia and climate science data are the first that come to mind.

  • Apologies for being imprecise on terminology. I meant the latter, per service.

  • And when the slopocalypse and technofascism have blown over, we crawl out of our digital bunkers and repopulate the wastelands of cyberspace with... stock images of Hide the Pain Harold? I love it! 😄 Although I could think of more valuable data to hoard for that event.
