Don’t use chromium?

Not just reading. A while back, some ISPs moved towards replacing DNS queries to known DNS servers with their own replies.

There’s also something to be said about some services being cordoned off in a VPN while leaving some public with security. I don’t necessarily want everyone within my full network if all I want is to share one service with them.

Why don’t we just throw Lemmy behind wireguard while we’re at it.

Literally anything can go behind a VPN. Doesn’t mean much at all. And the majority of those are commonly left on the open internet for friends and family, which would be annoying af to set up with WireGuard.

I have enough issues dealing with VPN issues in my professional life, I don’t want to have to deal with them in my personal life as well.

Seriously?

Plex, Jellyfin, VaultWarden, AdGuard, Home Assistant, GameVault, any flavor of pastebin, any flavor of wiki, and the list goes on.

If you’re feeling spicy throw whatever the hell you want onto a reverse proxy and put it behind a zero trust login.

The idea that opening up anything at all through to the open internet is “dumb” is antiquated. Are there likely concerns that need to be addressed? Absolutely. But don’t make blanket statements about virtually nothing belonging on the open internet.

This is very short sighted. I can think of dozens of things to put on the open internet that aren’t inherently public. The majority are things for sharing with multiple people you want to have logins for. As long as the exposed endpoints are secure, there’s no inherent problem.

This is a little different. This is a single user account across multiple federated sites. Like being able to log into Lemmy.ca and dbzer0.com with the same credentials, and the same account. Information being shared.

You can still create two different, unrelated accounts. And might want to for other reasons. But sometimes it’s nice having your data follow you.

… what?

Them: “I want a centralized place to handle all my graphics stuff, so I can access graphically intensive things from any device.”

You: “Must be incest renders because you already have hardware and say you use it for work.”

So according to you, contractors don’t exist, iPhones can play PC games, and anyone wanting to split PC resources between multiple use cases is shady.

What’s ridiculous is that you seem to think extreme paranoia is a normal thing in everyday life.
