Endless growth will kill us all. I can’t tell you how much I detest these “concerns”.

I think the web in general has a problem with authoritarian MLs domineering the discussions. To be fair it feels like a lot of them are chronically online, because I’ve never seen as many chaotic tankies IRL as I have seen on the web.

I don’t really engage that much in anarchist debates on the net but I feel that it’s nice to have an internet community surrounded by like-minded as well. There are spaces near me, but there aren’t really that many anarchists around. Most are state socialists in one form or another. I don’t mind hanging out with them, but at the same time I’m not a big believer in “left unity”. If it matters I’m not based in the US where the scene might be a lot different.

True, we’re creatures of habits…

Cool idea!

Yeah, I’ve been using OpenRSS to get the RSS feed of e.g. APNews, but it’s such a sad state of affairs that it feels like RSS is disappearing

Great explanation, thank you! Hamachi brings back memories haha

Probably just me that’s confused. I thought Tailscale was similar to WireGuard but much easier to set up. So one connects to the services directly, and not just the general home network (like a VPN) where you then enter whatever address you need to access the service?

How’s the power draw on mobile devices?

Very interesting. Didn’t know this was a possibility. I don’t need anything now but thanks for offering, might get back to you

I mean, most high-end phones today doesn’t support SD cards so this can be a reason why to selfhost.

Yeah it’s for sure an issue in the rest of the world too. Not discounting that

I really dislike this argument. Just because it’s “their country, their rules” doesn’t not make it an issue? Especially when it comes to privacy concerns. Privacy concerns are universal. There are a plethora of serious issues that are not defended by “national sovereignty”. If that was the case we should just turn a blind eye to North Korea, right?

Yes, because niche communities are much smaller here if not non-existant. Communities about Classical Chinese, poetry, various academic humanities subjects and the like isn’t exactly thriving on here. I try to use the fediverse when I’m able to though, and also try to support smaller communities, but yeah…

If you have an account you can use a VPN. Never had trouble

For a while? Our business used it until … this year. It’s finally EOL this year.

No one ever questions these things. “It’s for the kids!” is the one argument that’ll lead us all to damnation.

Hasn’t RSS support been dropping these last few years? Last I heard was that RSS was dying, though I don’t know how true that is.

Does lemmy and other fediverse stuff currently have such a huge bot problem?

It seems really great actually. Thanks for the rec. Might selfhost it. But I also get the argument of Kagi if one doesn’t want to rely on the search results of Google/Bing/DDG or whatever. Even if I definitely prefer FOSS.
