  That’s great, probably better for life happiness to just not look very closely, and ignore research like this. I doubt anyone is getting sick, even if it is certainly spraying stuff around.

  Also, how is their research any worse than the one sponsored by Dyson, who is trying to sell overpriced hand dryers.

  Anyone who has ever seen one of these more than a few weeks old knows how disgusting they get because cleaning crews were never trained to clean them. I’m assuming that isn’t considered in Dyson’s version of the research at all. There’s one in a bathroom in my area that is covered in mold.

  Pretty impressive, I took a picture of a kids toy and it generated a passable model. I recall seeing something that would also automatically rig humanoid models, and another that would animate rigged models per a prompt (might have been Disney). Seems like we’re not that far away from being able to take a picture of something and have an animation produced. I did a cursory search and didn’t find anything, but I wouldn’t be shocked if that’s not already a thing you can do by stringing publicly available models together.

  Don’t discount the amount of common people that are totally onboard with killing everyone in another tribe. There have been plenty of times when leaders are the only reason diplomacy happens in the face of a bloodthirsty population, though certainly more common that war happens because leaders channel the energy of that bloodthirst as it is easier and the benefits (to themselves first, their tribe second) are thought to outweigh the risks. Look through history and you’ll see enough instances of leaders trying to keep the peace only to be killed by their bloodthirsty population and replaced by someone who will act.

  I wish we could all just get along, but so far the only effective deterrent in all of history has been the threat of destruction, either by a sufficiently powerful peace mongering leader, or MAD that nuclear weapons established. I suspect the next change in this dynamic, if MAD holds true, is some real AI that takes the reigns. It would be hard to rule break if we had an omniscient leader that could kill you within seconds.

  Not sure if it’s actually feasible today, but in the future when all the Internet routing and consumer devices are compliant, something something ipv6 has enough address space for every device many times over to have a unique address. I’m guessing there’s still too many links in the chain that won’t be setup for ipv6 to work, but it’s worth your research.

  Probably more realistic to work out the complication you’re concerned about with reverse proxy and a VPS + VPN.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starlink with self hosted?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah, wasn’t aware of that, makes more sense now. Seems like OP needs to pipe everything through someone else’s server, or fork over for the static IP, until IPv6 is finally universally functioning. I’ve seen good things about Cloudflare, at least as long as they aren’t doing multimedia.

  Just use a dynamic dns service and expose the stuff you need to access publicly, publicly. If you want to be extra careful, or secure services that otherwise have no security, your reverse proxy should be able to forward auth, which forces people to login before the request is handled. This gives you a single point of security failure again, which I’m not seeing as any different from whatever you’re thinking about with wireguard and a vps. You can also selectively configure which services use forward auth, which are fully public, and which aren’t accessible outside of LAN addresses. This would give you the option to use something like Tailscale for your private stuff when away from home without having to use the forward auth.
