  • Absolutely. Really, if you're reading this, you are probably pretty high up on the scale.

  • Friend, I take it you're joking ... but I've done warehouse, construction, assembly line, and other hard labor. The only other country I've been to is Mexico, which is a nice place to leave. Believe me, it is entirely possible for a privileged American to know how well they have it.

  • Love the equal up/down vote count in this innocuous comment.
    Do we need it decoded folks?
    This person means to say that they feel misinformation is a huge threat to democracy and this is no surprise at all.
    But they said that in 3 words.

  • Push. A cigarette might help.

  • I work at home. Ya, I can't get away. Since covid. The years are burning.

  • There's no answer. We are all going to hell. Along with them. Yay for us all.

  • Ya, that's an odd odd thing. I know people that live around actual bees, watching the commercial hives swarm in the fields during pollination. They really know what bees are. And then when a wasp shows up, they are like "Fukin BEES!!!" and break out with a can of poison.

  • Fuk me. I'm of slavic descent and have heard a lot of polish jokes, but I had no idea what was going on here. Thanks for the explanation.

  • Where I live, it is considered a community service to kill wasps. Seriously. Gotta die.

  • You're mad. Out of your mind. That's not uncommon on the internet. There are many of us.

  • Yes. A measured response.

  • Ya know, I have to hang my head with a lot of the "Really, America?" shit. Yes, my home is a bit weird.
    But it's not like we got aaaaaaall the weird.
    It is fukin bizzare to let insects crawl on your food and then desire or use said food in any way other than feeding pigs.

  • Ok. Yes, my use case is a private document and media store. I'm ungoogling.
    VPN seems like a good place to start. But I'd like a simple answer, and I expect there are none to be had. As you've illustrated here, I'll find a reason to punch holes in the firewall. And then I'm going to need to secure a web server. Life happens. I'll keep it simple for now while I sort things. Thanks for your perspective.

  • Ya. I understand VPN. I do enterprise IT stuff. The things I build assume a secure environment. VPN is step one.
    Nailing down a web server on the internet tho ... there's so many ways to attack. There's so many things to secure. And its a bit complex to manage all that.
    The nextcloud site covers hardening the server, but doesn't even mention vpn.
    I've been watching threads like this. I'm pretty convinced vpn is the answer.

  • I don't often change upvotes. Sometimes I will go back and upvote things after I better understood the poster's point.

    Downvotes tho ... I review my downvotes at lemvotes.org. I haven't changed many, but I do reconsider them.

  • Well, I might as well put a dog in the fight. I'm considering my final, actually secure deployment of nextcloud.

    This discussion has convinced me that a vpn is the only answer.
    And almost everyone says wireguard.

    K. Thats what I will build.

  • Ya, this is all true. But it was so intense when I got hooked that my fingers hurt. This is a game that will grab you.

  • And this is the start of the longest crypto nerd fight I've seen on Lemmy. Well done, people!
