if I hadn't encountered the teaching of no effort

how else could I have gained this life of leisure

  • Probably just me that's confused. I thought Tailscale was similar to WireGuard but much easier to set up. So one connects to the services directly, and not just the general home network (like a VPN) where you then enter whatever address you need to access the service?

  • How's the power draw on mobile devices?

  • Very interesting. Didn't know this was a possibility. I don't need anything now but thanks for offering, might get back to you

  • I mean, most high-end phones today doesn't support SD cards so this can be a reason why to selfhost.

  • Yeah it's for sure an issue in the rest of the world too. Not discounting that

  • I really dislike this argument. Just because it's "their country, their rules" doesn't not make it an issue? Especially when it comes to privacy concerns. Privacy concerns are universal. There are a plethora of serious issues that are not defended by "national sovereignty". If that was the case we should just turn a blind eye to North Korea, right?

  • Yes, because niche communities are much smaller here if not non-existant. Communities about Classical Chinese, poetry, various academic humanities subjects and the like isn't exactly thriving on here. I try to use the fediverse when I'm able to though, and also try to support smaller communities, but yeah..

  • If you have an account you can use a VPN. Never had trouble

  • For a while? Our business used it until ... this year. It's finally EOL this year.

  • No one ever questions these things. "It's for the kids!" is the one argument that'll lead us all to damnation.

  • Hasn't RSS support been dropping these last few years? Last I heard was that RSS was dying, though I don't know how true that is.

  • Does lemmy and other fediverse stuff currently have such a huge bot problem?

  • It seems really great actually. Thanks for the rec. Might selfhost it. But I also get the argument of Kagi if one doesn't want to rely on the search results of Google/Bing/DDG or whatever. Even if I definitely prefer FOSS.

  • Thanks, I definitely prefer this alternative. How does searxng work in general?

  • Kagi has definitely been on my radar, but it sounds a bit weird (for lack of a better word) to pay for search. I've never even thought about it. Maybe it's worth it...
