I have moments when I think “I might get banned for this”, this is one of those moments.

You may try to ban vpns but you can not really, people usually find ways around censorship. We are notorious for this stuff, as a species.

Its infuriating to me when people just roll over for the powers that be. They may ban some nodes, others will pop up, those will get banned too and so the cycle of cat and mouse begins.

You can host your own vpn with wireguard. It takes a bit of figuring out, sure, but you can literally do so with a raspberry pi. Stick it in a network of choice and voila.

Oh they may control stuff, but this is not a game that can be won, human repression is a futile effort, it may work for a while, but there is a reason why regimes fall. See the wall of Berlin and so many other examples.

Fret not friend, for hope dies last.

If replayable is what we want, I’d save csgo instead of cs2

I loathe this approach. But for me its more of a hobby and even then, I too am alergic to overt complexity, but saying no maintenance is asking for a security hole to open, sure it can be automated away, but it still takes at least SOME work.

The main reason I dislike this approach is by doing things as simply as possible you delegate the control to the developer of your solution. Its not a one size fits all thing. Some solutions can for sure be turnkey, but most should require some work, because we do this to regain control, not delegate more of it away.

Excuse me, I’m curious, how does one mess up their search history?

Yeah, my fist step was tuta as well, I ditched them after a month for malbox.org. never looked back

If you want to use clients other than a webmail tuta wont fit your needs. But, to that end, try both, they are both excellent in their own ways, see what suits you.

1T$ is a … Loooot of money, it makes no sense for any one person to have that much.

For example, the German government spending for 2024 was arount the 2T mark. So Elmo here could fund the German state for half a year with this deal.

One person. Dude…

Ultich, dont take this the wrong way, but thats how you are using systems and thats how you see them. It is your perspective, not everyones perspective.

Computers are not just one thing, one tool. They can be, they are, many times. But for many of us they are hobbies, a thing to tinker and experiment with, thats who you the the pretty UIs from.

I get that ignorance is bliss, but you can not paint the whole ecosystem with the same brush. People are different. Generally yeah, you are right, but it is also a very ignorant way to look at things.

Hullo! Beyond the pantomime of AI, I noticed something similar. I’m in the workforce for about 20 years now.

The management pushes back hard when you get too close to changing the modus operandi, because its a few short steps away from automating away the middle management. If you get rid of one cohort, whats there to say that you cant do the dame of another.

Abstractions aside, it more of the same, company A sells consulting to company B, that sells services to company C. The product from “A” is barely if at all seen in the output towards “C”, because of the whole, overinflated process. Just so you can sell some bullshit along with the meat and potatoes.

Dont fret OP, I think you are right on the money, regardless of some here say.

Yes. But its my outlet, its keeping me sane. Looking at the worlds nowadays, this is my happy place. More therapy than anything.

Oh god, where do I start?

3 node proxmox setup:

Net node:

• opnsense (dns, dhcp, edge firewall, wireguard)
• caddy
• ssh hub

Compute node:

• a few game servers
• wiki (kiwix), full copy of wikipedia
• searxng
• docker host (portainer plus 10ish containers)
• forgejo
• testing vms
• a separate zfs mirror

Storage node:

• all drives, zfs + mirror
• proxmox backup server
• home assistant
• immich
• ARR stack
• jellyfin

Oh and a monitoring node made out of a rpi 4b with an nvme hat,running dietpi, prometheus, grafana and homepage (gethomepage.dev)

Thats about it plus automations and stuff, wireguard so I can access it from anywhere. Not separated properly, no network zones, just a few vlans for now, work in progress.

Indeed, but it preserves the ethos of being open, while the other does not.

You can set up a wireguard tunnel for yourself relatively easily, there are a ton of guides out there. Its basically a way for you to pop out elsewhere, same principle as a vpn. Most vpn providers use wireguard as a protocol.

I don’t think we’ve seen the whole thing unfold yet. Shit has not yet hit the proverbial fan, bubble or no bubble, we’re in for a ride.

Those who benefit from using it as an excuse to lay off people will continue to do so while it is convenient. Number must go up. Shareholders must be kept happy.

I just wonder if the water tastes like frog yet.

how many watts does it chug on average? Sweet setup.

I think you are the one thst does not get what it does.

What is this fanboyism? Grow up man.

No, OP is 100% on the money. Your tongue is for tasting food and drinks, not boots. You are being dishonest to yourself and dont even know it.
