I didn’t know what you meant by ‘lemon party’ so I looked it up… I don’t know what kind of pubs you’re frequenting, but have at it!

Ugh, this isn’t a jab at you but it pisses me off when old money employers call it “return to work” … Like wtf do they think we’ve been doing this whole time?

As others have said, I’m in the “put time in, get shit done” camp.

Provided I deliver a job well done, my bosses don’t give a fuck what or how many hours I clock per week.

I use Qwant sometimes but it’s sourced from Bing. Searx is better if you can self-host. Kagi is better if you can afford to pay (but you asked for free).

Fellow IT guy here, I absolutely hate working from the office. Home life is my life and work life only matters to me insofar as it’s necessary to my home life.

Anything taking my brain from home mode to work mode is an obstacle that should be avoided.

I’m not sure if I feel strongly enough about it to have a consequential opinion either way but I’m trying to at least judge the situation objectively.

I think you raised a valid point. The non-consensual nature of deepfakes pushes it into the realm of abuse material and maybe that’s worse overall than the general exploitation of women going on in the adult film industry, even if those are supposed to be “consensual” on paper.

That’s the part I was alluding to as being worse

Deepfake pornography is super goony but if I had to look for a silver lining, at least nobody had to undergo the actual physical degradation of making porn. It’s still gross in its own way, but it’s a different kind of gross that seems worse in some ways but better in others.

I don’t know… Am I off base here?

I did the same a month ago… Still no regrets.

Ah, yes. Tailscale. That’s a pretty obvious solution that I hadn’t considered… Thanks for the recommendation.

do you mind sharing a basic explanation about your setup? i’m looking at doing something similar with TrueNAS and NextCloud.

DDG isn’t the paragon of privacy. Try Qwant or StartPage.

Those Broadcom wireless cards gave me PTSD. The only way I got one of them working was compiling the raw firmware blobs into my kernel on a Gentoo stage 3 install… I shutter imagining administering that system as my daily driver. It was a good learning experience but I’m not cut out for that level of effort just to surf the web, open some documents, and play DOOM.
