Sure, I use them, for three good reasons.
Except many of us use cloudflare tunnels to reach our selfhosted kit from the internet because we’re behind CGNATs…
Thanks for the PSA, genuinely. Have paused updates for now for caution. Hopefully it’s nothing.

Good article and a reminder that all might not be as it seems, and I’m glad they’re reporting this to the French Police as well as raising awareness. The language used in the emails do suggest it could be a single zealot rather than a professional body. It also highlights how often “but what about the children?” is used to enact censorship. (Not least by my own government in the UK with the OSA)
I have one issue though;
The complaints against the site look extremely suspicious. In our case, they came from an organization that was only recently registered that seems deliberately set up to hide the identities of those behind it.
Surely anyone registering any online organisation today would want to take reasonable steps to protect their real identity, especially one dealing with such sensitive matters? Anyone thwarted would want that information for malicious ends.
Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it’s worth.

Become a dog. They’re the happiest people I know.
Just installed it.
Went to Reddit, it recommended I use Lemmy. Sounds good.
“Tell me you work in America without telling me you work in America”
Big orders for single people, especially for stuff like curry, pizza and chinese, could just mean they’re buying several meals at once and are going to freeze it for later on. Think of it as meal prepping without having to cook.
How the heck is UK European? They left the EU 5 years ago.
Steady that jerky knee there fella, you might want to read that a bit more closely.
The premise is European, not EU. It’s a matter of geography, not politics.
Everything is political, and South Park has been one of the most political popular shows. I guess he means it didn’t explicitly feature politicians as much.
You think genocide has only existed for two years?
Don’t be salty. We English invented the damn thing and, listening to some of us talk, I doubt we’d score near the top either.
This isn’t new.
The realisation as you go through life that things just aren’t as good as they should be is hard. The more you learn, the more you are exposed. What is new, perhaps, is that the scale of bullshit is bigger and the spread of it more actively pushed than before.
How to cope? Damned if I know. I just try to shut it out as much as possible.
(BTW, your colleague may just be exhausted with change, or demoralised or depressed themselves. It’s hard not to judge people when you see the answer so clearly, but it’s a trueism that everyone walks their own path and you just don’t know what’s going on in their life)
Right answer. In fact, the only viable answer.
As a 54 year old who has just had two weeks of agony because he forgot his age and tried to deadlift a 225kg motorbike by himself, I’m going to skip this one because I clearly haven’t learned anything.
I think what you’re looking for is known as kiosk software. Basically a locked down browser that has limited or zero user interaction possible.
Or by deliberately breaking DNS on that host. Add the entries you want to allow to /etc/hosts and not supply any upstream DNS servers. (Change of needing maintenance if those sites change IP)
“That’s a great question!” </ai>
The truth is, we don’t need AI to have misinformation, and AI is not the biggest problem in the current post-truth society. There has been a war going on globally in undermining truth for a long time. The old saying, “The first casualty in war is truth” is invalid now, because truth is no longer relevant and lies are weaponised like never before in history. People don’t want to be certain of something, their first reaction to news is to react at a deep and emotional level and the science of misinformation is highly refined and successful in making most people react in a certain way. It takes effort and training not to do that, and most of us can’t.
Journalists have been warning us about this for decades but integrity costs money, and that funding has been under attack too. It’s pretty depressing whichever way you look at it.

I actually hold the opposite opinion; that most people are generally good, or at the least, focused on their own problems most of the time.
This isn’t just personal experience (I’m old so have a bunch) but one example is that I watch a lot of travelling vlogs, mostly motorbikes. Whenever a rider has a breakdown, even in the middle of nowhere, someone will be along and will help. Even allowing for a general positive bias of the media, those who would take advantage of that situation are a tiny percentage.
What does happen though, is that those who aren’t good can abuse the goodness of others to gain power and influence, so are statistically more noticable.
