He’s really been tapping into his GG Allin roots lately, I guess!

I conspiratorially see these articles as propaganda to sway surveillance unidirectionally into governmental hands.

We can’t give people easy access to record police interactions, especially when they are upping methods of state violence like arming them with electronic shock gloves.

Better brand them as “pervert glasses” or try to associate them with pedophiles somehow so they get banned quickly.

(But also, Fuck Meta, and fuck dystopian hyper-invasion of privacy of all varieties)

I’m an educator, and we have revision history in Google doc that allows us to see the document as it was written.

If large blocks of text suddenly appear, it indicates plagiarism.

Knowing your students and their lexicon, it’s unnecessary for most of us to use it though.

Most of the students that try to sneak AI struggle with writing to begin with, which makes it remarkably obvious when they try to pass off something that is not theirs.

Hot take, but I feel like this is one of those bands whose live performance transcends anything they put to video.

I saw Billy Strings live, and it was almost a religious experience. The energy in that room was impossible to capture on film.

I imagine seeing Idles is a similar situation.

The responses I received were exponentially more helpful than scouring for the information myself (which I had done).

Everyone here had experience and expertise that I did not, and I had a working solution running on my computer within 10 minutes of asking.

Part of the purpose of a community like this is evident in posts like this.

Your response, though funny, is damaging to the community, and unhelpful at best.

I understand where you were coming from, but please don’t.

This is how I would have done it in 2001.

It is my understanding that the only reason to go this route in this day and age is if you prefer to survive off the tears of cybersecurity professionals.

I’m sold! Setting it up now!

Any suggestions on where to start when looking into buying and setting up a domain?

As averse as I am to spending money on subscription services, having my own domain for less than 30 bucks a year might be worth it.

I think I’m going to try out the tailscale VPN route first before I fully warm up to buying a domain.

*Edit-You’ve definitely got me sold on getting a domain! Thank you so much for all the info!

Got it! I think this is the plan of attack I’m going with

I appreciate your response!

It looks like a VPN is the option I’m leaning towards, but I’ll definitely put the idea of buying a domain in my back pocket for a while.

That is the answer my intuition was leading me to, but I hoped I was wrong. It looks like this is an opportunity to learn something outside of my comfort zone.

That is a new concept to me, but I’ll definitely look into it.

To be clear, your suggesting I set up my home computer as a virtual private Network server that I would connect to from the TV or device outside of my home network?

This is great! 'The History of the World in Six Glasses" and “The Moon is a Harsh Mistress” look especially intriguing.

I’ve read Victor Frankel and Nietzsche before, otherwise they would be intriguing as well.

I’m currently reading Steinbeck’s East of Eden, and it may be a while before I finish it. But, when I do, I thank you for the next in queue.

I like where this list is going, having read all those. I’m curious what else you would add to it!

Anything by Glenn Gould! (As long as the recording removes the vocals…)

Pretty sure they were being facetious

This reads more like a traditional “monkey’s paw” scenario though

Bananas are shipped green, and in refrigerated shipping containers. They ripen them in warmer containers at Port.

From that moment on, the clock is ticking.
