  • Could VPNs Be 'Banned'?

    Jump

  • I forgot about the free VPN services. Good point. But yes, the government shouldnt be the ones raising our kids. As you said, this is all about control and getting information. Nothing more.

  • Could VPNs Be 'Banned'?

  • That's the whole point of the discussion: what does "VPN" mean in this context? Is it only these VPN providers that let you be elsewhere, or VPN technology and traffic in general. The prior could be limited by blocking traffic to specific IP addresses that belong to VPN providers, albeit in a very laborious and expensive cat and mouse game. The latter would affect all VPN traffic including that which is used to safely connect to work sites for example. Which would be stupid and damaging.

    Even if VPN providers could be banned at IP level, what's stopping you from spinning up a host in another country, setting up wireguard on that?

    I understand they are frustrated that their excellent child protection plans and user information gathering is so easy to circumvent, but their proposed solutions are just absurd.

    If you have a VPN then chances are you have a credit card, which means you are an adult, which means you can access porn. The VPN is your age verification :)

  • I've just been reading the bobiverse books and wondered about it as a game and this looks perfect. Thanks

  • Nah not grumpy just good additional advice. Thanks for taking the time to add to the conversation

    Initial self hosting should be non critical for yourself only for the reasons you mention. After you have worked out kinks and learned more about it all you can start using software for more critical tasks. I still don't use my self hosting for anything apart from myself (except jellyfin for family) because I don't need the pressure of availability :)

  • The internet being what it is has there been any negative or inappropriate images or text? Because if not, my faith in the interwebs will slowly heal

  • What is a useful or interesting product under $100 that you wouldn’t normally think to buy?

    Jump

  • Ah fair. You can do multiple cups if you top up with hot water. But for volume pour over or French press is the way.

  • IMO Aeropress males a better coffee than a French press. Have you tried that?

  • I regret this post now. So many games I want to try now. Folks, there's only so many hours in a day spare for gaming!

  • I looked it up and wasn't all that excited by it, but figured I'd give it a try anyway based on this thread Yep, thanks, I've not got a hope in hell in doing anything else for while now. :D

  • Are there any good places to torrent music with consistent quality and tagging?

    Jump

  • Picard is great. I find that beets is more accurate in some cases. Yymv so worth giving them both a try. Picard is a lot easier to use and doesn't maintain it's own library index which has its pros and cons.
