Don’t know what kind of work you do, but I work with people, my partner works with kids. Short form content is absolutely ravaging minds. But you can believe whatever you want.

Fact is, we see kids that are and aren’t raised with access to short form content on social media, and the ones without do a whole lot better.

Speech impediments are getting worse for a reason (the parents have a role in this too, if your around a kid, keep your damn phone in your pocket and talk to the poor thing).

But again, you do you. You can claim its pseudo-science all you want when your kids end up needing a speech therapist and need medication just to finish an old movie 🤙

I’m an oldhead on hosting. I have an semi-old server running in a cabinet in my office space at home, which runs an nginx reverse proxy. My DNS records are maintained on the side of the webhost where I have my domain (and email inbox) registered. These records point directly to my WAN IP, so a lookup of my domain would instantly show my public IP.

I host a couple of services on that server, some for myself, some for friends. One of them is a Jellyfin instance.

I’m a bit lost in the technobabble, would Netbird help me hide my IP from a lookup, and solve things like DDoS protection / AI scraping, without me needing all kinds of wireguard apps etc?

I know its superficial, but I find it important that when I’m visiting my dad’s, I can watch a film on the Chromecast from my server, so putting a vpn in front of that would mean to screw with that.

Ik reis het liefst met de trein. Lekker zitten, boekje lezen, en bij de betere treinen zelfs iets te eten kunnen halen onderweg. (Ik mis de verkopers die door de trein liepen met koffie!)

Helaas genoodzaakt om, wanneer we met meer dan 1 persoon zijn, de auto te nemen. Dit aangezien het huidige verdienmodel van de geprivatiseerde NS er voor zorgt dat samen reizen gestraft in plaats van aangemoedigd wordt. Waar het nu met 1 ritje OV eigenlijk al duurder is dan met de auto en dan maar parkeerkosten te betalen, is het verschil wanneer je samen reist zo exorbitant groot dat je gek bent als je het doet.

Is it so wrong to just take a little hit of heroin from time to time?

Short form content is actively making people dumber, causing speech impediments in kids by cause their parents and themselves are addicted to the dopamine hit of scrolling.
