Yes because when are conversing in person you are conversing synchronously.

Only one person talks at a time and for the most part only one major subject idea question or problem is considered at a time. You talk about one thing and then you move along and talk about another thing.

This is not necessarily the case with written language. Where you have the benefit of talking about many things, changing subjects, and listing information out. And the reader can work through this at their own leisure and at their own pace without feeling overwhelmed

The level of frustration from online discussions when the things you say are entirely missed or misinterpreted is a great example of this.

Even mildly complex topics that touch anything politically charged or emotionally charged tend to be subject to groupthink dynamics in a format where group think is largely just a result of poor reading comprehension.

It really is a sad State of affairs that reading comprehension is so bad that people can't answer questions in written form.

I mean it's literally written down you can't miss it.

And to clarify this is more of me complaining because I've experienced this a lot. It's most apparent in online discussions, where seemingly a majority of what you say gets completely skipped missed or misinterpreted and replies often focus on just a couple words of your statement instead of understanding sometimes even just a whole paragraph.

Welcome to the majority of the internet my friend.

It really does suck

This isn't necessarily going to affect the ultra rich who count on crashes like this to buy up real estate and assets in mass.

It's practically a guaranteed win, a cheat code even .

If you're ultra rich and wanna be ultra ultra rich, just setup a market collapse by acquiring power. And now you're ultra-ultranrich, and the next one is even easier.

The undereducated masses are so easy to mislead they might as well not be a factor. It's trivial to get the masses to fight amongst themselves by stirring the culture war pot with the near monopoly on media you and your buddies have bought. While you carry on class warfare unopposed

It's for sure plausible.

Whenever a collapse happens, the rich get richer by buying up cheap assets, like houses and land.

And since corporations are immortal, these assets will forever be owned by them generations into the future.

It's fiefdom, except that it's much MUCH more stable over time given modern economies.

This has happened once every 100 years or so. And each time it's a complete disaster for the country.

Give it another 100 and history will just repeat itself again

In this case I run pfSense instead of my ISP provided router. This allows me to have my own DNS resolver, which I can then resolve various domains to internal addresses.

All devices on my network point to my router for DNS allowing them to resolve internal addresses from all of these.

That's a good call out.

There are a few things I do right now:

1. All of my public DNS entries for the certs point at cloudflare, not my IP.
2. My internal Network DNS resolver will resolve those domains to an internal address. I don't rely on nat reflection.
3. I drop all connections to those domains in cloudflare with rules
4. In caddy, I drop all connections that come from a non-internal IP range for all internal services. Additionally I drop all connections from subnet that should not be allowed to access those services (network is segmented into VLANs)
5. I use tailscale to avoid having to have routes from the Internet into my internal services for when I'm not at home.
6. For externally accessible routes, I have entirely separate configurations that proxy access to them. And external DNS still points to cloudflare, which has very restrictive rules on allowable connections.

Hopefully this information helps someone else that's also trying to do this.

Lemmy is essentially just like Reddit at this point. It's just a bunch of the lowest common denominator circle jerking a lack of critical thinking.

You cannot have intelligent discussion, and group think is all that matters. Folks will not read your comment, they will find the single phrase they disagree with and hold onto it for dear life, missing the entire point.

And then ignore the whole premise and idea behind the discussion and reply in a way that makes absolutely no sense if they had average reading comprehension....

I miss the old Internet, where you could actually have discussions and pass ideas back and forth.

No they didn't that's not banning advertising but that's regulating a specific type of advertising.

There's a pretty big difference.

How....Would you do that?

You do know that that marketing or advertising is far FAR more fundamental right? Yeah, there is a lot of BS these days, for sure.

But the concept of trying to find someone to sell something you made too cannot be banned. Unless you have a solution to the entire concept of "selling" anything, and turn society into one without needs?

It's 5000 BC and I just made a pot with a lip that pours water easier. I tell someone about this in hopes they might want one too so i can survive on my work <----- that's advertising.

It's 2000 BC and I discovered a new spice and am trying to sell it for cooking. I demonstrate how it smells <----- that's advertising.

....etc Apply this to almost everything anyone has made that they try to sell to someone else. They advertise and market it.

right now, your own post, marketing what you might do as president.... Is a form of marketing.

It's deeply engrained in every single society, and has been for thousands (tens of thousands?) of years. It's a fundamental concept for humans and humans society.

You cannot get away from advertising, ever, in any society, in any financial system, at any point of time in history after tribal societie.

It's a concept that you can't just "ban", nearly all the problems we have with it today is because it's uncontrolled and abused. The concept itself though is as unbannable as the concept of "selling" something.

The concept:

"trying to find someone who can use something you made"

Is literally as old as humans moving away from tribal societies.

You can make the best thing in the world, but if no one knows about it, it's still useless.

So, a US Person. Who has all the rights of a citizen sans voting and a few other specific things...

Not kind now till citizens end up this way

I just:

1. Have my router setup with DNS for domains I want to direct locally, and point them to:
2. Have a reverse proxy that has auto- certbot behavior (caddy) connected to the cloud flair API. Anytime I add a new domain or subdomain for reverse proxine to a particular device on my network a valid certificate is automatically generated for me. They are also automatically renewed
3. Navigation I do within my local network to these domains gives me real certificates, my traffic never goes to the internet.

Steal from your national savings account (Social security)?

Literally, actually taking money THAT IS YOURS, from your account, that you are entitled to... Because it's your fucking money. Paid for, every tax year, to save, and consume after a certain age.

Are they not learning from the U.S.??

Your government can, and will, eventually turn against you. Under no circumstances should more power be given to it to compromise your privacy.

Data from now will be used against you or your children 30, 50, 80 years from now by another fascist government. Don't let that happen at an even broader scale

Must be nice being able to fall asleep after being woken up 😔

Honestly this sort of thing applies to more and more products from Amazon every single week.

You shouldn't buy any sort of skincare products medicine or supplements either.

How TF you expect that to work with MMO style games that may have significantly complex server infrastructure & deployment environments?
