Most people think it’s a single executable that does everything and breaks unix philosophy, rather than a suite of tools that adhere to it, which is what it is.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•IPv6 & Opnsense & Not Exposing Machine-Specific IPv6s to CorposEnglish
2·4 months agoMy advise it to not bother. As soon as you need device specific firewall rules the whole thing falls apart. The evangelicals dont like this fact and will down vote me for saying it.
No one needs IPv6 in their home on their devices.
“IPv4 is running out of IP addresses so therefore every local network needs to move to IPv6” is a full clown move.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The 2025 version of "Please consider this environment before printing this email" should be "Please consider this environment before using A.I. to respond to this email"
2·4 months agoThe same as every new service over the past 20 years. Start with free, then when they’re hooked add the advertising, paywalls and ramp up the enshitification to the Max. You need to grab market share with a loss leader, dominate and become the defacto standard before you turn your users into money providers.

55·4 months agoAll that happens at boot is that linux.exe calls systemd.exe, uses all your system resources making your machine unusable bloat.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•It's utterly hypocritical that the "defence" industry/sector is not called what it really is, the war industry.
3·4 months agoA way of keeping people employed usefully in many highly skilled jobs so you don’t need to give them social security payouts for being jobless. In this way it is a truly excellent idea.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•It's interesting that gun rights were sold on the basis of "resisting unlawful government." They seen to have _caused and supported_ unlawful government.
2·6 months agoWhat’s unlawful? You voted them in. Bearing arms against the government is unlawful. Anyone who thinks they can make a stand and shoot a few people to stand up to the government will find themselves arrested quickly and with all their neighbours supporting their arrest.
There is no amount of force that could reasonably be brought that would topple the government.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Thoughts on the recent Swiss law that might require ProtonVPN to start blocking certain domains?English
1·7 months agoHow many internet connected devices do you think there are in a typical 2 adult 2 kid household, excluding phones? Here are TVs, tablets, Chromebooks, laptops, game consoles etc etc. Kids don’t jus have phones - mine don’t and there’s still a raw internet connection to almost all these devices.
And out of all of that only one has good controls for parents and believe me when I say this, setting it up was torture.
If you want to block YouTube to specific devices and not others its a really difficult thing to do. Especially when Big Tech is working against you - block the YouTube URLs on a Pihole and you’ll find that the play store also doesn’t work. There are plenty of dark patterns in all these things. Because these companies do not want to help by blocking access to the marketing bucks of kids.
There is no simple solution to all of it unless you either live in the past or you parent so 1984ly that it’ll exhaust you and alienate your kids from you.

5·7 months agoAs a very tech savvy parent I have to say that setting up an inhibited, monitored and controlled internet for specific devices and users is insanely difficult. The average person stands no chance. But sure, blame the parents instead of the technology as it is sold and delivered.
