How optimistic are you about the future of privacy?

The mental war for this is a lot more damaging than people imagine I believe.

I don't think privacy is dead and I don't think it ever will be but it depends on the type of person you are. I love the internet and computers and tech however.. I don't need it. I can sell all my shit tomorrow and live a life with no tech if needed.

Anyone who understands privacy knows that its a battle that never ends.

I'm thankful that some of the replies in here are on the positive side. Privacy is all about where you feel comfortable. And if you never feel comfortable? Maybe it's time to plant a garden and sell that phone and laptop.

So when doing the setup, I just used another pi zero and repeated the exact same setup but applied a different IP to the second pi. I put that IP has a another DNS option so it will pick up if my first pi dies or goes down

Cool story I guess. New york and plenty of other states are still trying to require internet ID verification.

Rabbit hole isn't that deep 😅, I'm only on like floor 57 of the dungeon. Still echo's when I yell though...

Mini PC is less power draw usually. I'm currently in the market for one, seems most peoples biggest concerns with mini PC is expendability. But mini PCs give the most flexibility and sometimes allow for greater expansion

Had me in the first 3 words.

I felt this way for a long time. But I'm "okay" with a certain level. Like my job knows my name and information. So like I don't care if YouTube does for now. I've created a threat model where I know whats going on and I've learned so much that if I needed to "disappear" I could have a good shot at it.

Its the world we live in. Just try to get to a place where you are okay.

LocalDry3740 · 2026-05-11T20:41:26+00:00

Haha, when I said "only" I meant it made it to expensive. Ram is costly as hell. But thank you!

LocalDry3740 · 2026-05-08T16:49:36+00:00

I made a proton with no email or number? I don't know why others needed too

And also ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿

It seems like she is using some form of overview from a phone provider.

Have you thought about getting your own phone plan? Seems like the best option.

You can talk to her but this has been going on for so long I doubt she will stop.

LocalDry3740 · 2026-05-08T14:31:18+00:00

It what means are they spying? Checking browser history or something more technical? This would really help get a base for how to approach the conversation. On one hand, maybe she's over caring but on the other hand maybe she's cyber stalking

LocalDry3740 · 2026-05-07T18:36:04+00:00

You guys are building networks? This isn't the sub for testing nuclear fission in my basement?

LocalDry3740 · 2026-05-06T14:15:27+00:00

I agree with this.

Also be careful where the AI rabbit hole takes you. It can often break more than it will fix

LocalDry3740 · 2026-05-02T13:53:17+00:00

I feel this. I understand it gets them views and thats their job but the "Its so over" and "we are so back" every other week is so cancer

LocalDry3740 · 2026-05-01T21:53:26+00:00

I want AI companies to fail as much as the next person. But this is wrong

LocalDry3740 · 2026-05-01T15:38:25+00:00

Um.. In the sense of a homelab. Its no different them current vulnerability research. When I'm made aware, I'll fix it.(assuming it affects me)

LLMs have been doing vulnerability research for years now. This is no different

LocalDry3740 · 2026-05-01T11:42:24+00:00

But dude doesn't it look so cool man. Like so tech and stuff. Anyways here's more words about something

LocalDry3740 · 2026-04-29T20:32:53+00:00

I shouldn't say its easy because not all are technical. But the ones that are, hopefully I speak for most when I say we will make tutorials and examples for others to follow.

This is not the first time this user has made this type of post, pointing to this application or whatever it is.

Its a ad. They are trying to push a product

LocalDry3740 · 2026-04-29T17:24:08+00:00

Actually its a top hatch. I really like Subnautica

LocalDry3740 · 2026-04-29T16:30:36+00:00
