Remember those people that used to brag they didn’t own a TV at every opportunity?

This comment prompted me to look for a picture of it. Nothing I can find, except in the background behind a baby picture of my now-in-university baby when I was apparently debugging the network connection:
There was a time when I had an old desktop packed full of spinning hard drives in my living room under a CRT television! Yes that works, but a NAS in the furnace room that is accessible from "smart TVs" and everyone's mobile devices is pretty nice. No more fan noise either.
While true, neither backups nor checksums are exclusive to hosting anything.
Mainly just multi-device access.
They also never hear no. No struggle in life and people just become playthings. That breaks your brain - even if they weren't already broken, which they would have had to be to become a billionaire in the first place guilt-free.
Because you are not the customer of the ad networks. They are marketing bs to ad buyers, where you actually viewing the ad is merely incedental.
Yes. Because targeted advertising is just selling something in it’s self. It was always a scam, but the mark os businesses that buy into the idea.
Also the eugenics stuff. Yeah, it was just a low-effort way to set up the premis, but eww (and also very incorrect). They had to make sleepwaling into that kind of thing seem plausible with some explanation. Instead, we didn't actually need that.
I see that cosmos advertises running your apps on a vpn built-in. That might be worth looking into. When I switched to self-hosting everything on my "tailnet" and closed incoming ports, a lot of the nice features of Yunohost for maintaining DNS and certs for the various apps stopped being that useful. In this day and age, I think being able to self-host and experiment within a safe VPN environment instead of on the open internet is the way to go.
Thanks, I'll take a look.
We have had more outages in our corporate tech services in the last month than the last year before that. Between AWS, Azure, and Teams issues, it's been crazy.
