  • Simple question but can be a complex answer. Basically it depends where your phone gets DNS from: if it’s using the ISP DNS (or some other public DNS server) it will resolve the public internet IP of your server and the data will route out to the ISP WAN before being routed back in.

    On the other hand you can configure a split DNS system, so say you are using your modem/gateway as your DNS server and it forwards DNS queries up to your ISP (or other) DNS server - a common setup, 1. you can add in a static host entry for your local server. Eg ‘yourservice.yourserverdomain.com = 192.168.1.20 (your server’s LAN IP)’

    Now when your phone is on the WiFi and it looks up your server’s address it gets the local IP and routes locally, which will be faster.

    If you need more info, search for terms like ‘reverse proxy split DNS best practice’.


  • You can drink a zero sugar saccharine drink every day for the rest of your life and experience no problems from it whatsoever. It’s the most tested artificial sweetener in history and has been used commercially since the 1890s.

    People switching to the low and zero sugar products is a good thing. It is much healthier than people drinking sugary beverages - which is the alternative that that they replace. They do not replace water.

    Switching from smoking to vaping is an improvement, but not a fair comparison as vaping has been shown to have significant negative health impacts.



  • Nah man. Windows 10 was full of telemetry from day 1. It was the first version of Windows that hid away the ability to even use a local-only login, trying to push every user onto a MS account for that sweet tracking and advertising dollar.

    They even gave the OS away for free - absolutely unthinkable to 90s/2000s era Microsoft, now why would that have changed?

    Pushing the users to their cloud offerings for those that they can tempt, and tracking, profiling, advertising for every user. From conception.



  • You’re in a blog memes community dude. It’s literally all screenshots of blog posts idk what you expect other than like… screenshots of noteworthy peoples social media posts and related memes.

    I actiallyvthink the open source community (and wider programming in general) are very proactive in calling out and speaking out against poor behaviour among their community leaders and peers. Just off the top of my head I can think of:

    1. PolyMC dev who came out stating he is very against queers and leftists. Rest of his dev team goes “OK bye” and forks the project. Their project, Prism MC now has more than 3* the stars on GitHub as the original project, indicating much larger userbase and following.
    2. The developer of the most popular game of all time, Minecraft, Markus Persson (Notch) made a number of posts on Twitter that were your standard anti-feminist, anti-trans, pro-white alt-lite chud crap, and this enormously popular billionaire is now persona non grata in the Minecraft community and unwelcome even by Microsoft.

    The problem you allude to (blind hero worship) is really a far more common occurrence amongst the right wing, because as conservatives they seek to preserve existing structures of power and tradition above all else. Leftists seek egalitarianism. These two ideas are incompatible which is the whole reason they’re branded as opposing ends of the political spectrum.


  • Atheism includes both those that passionately disagree that gods exist and those that simply do not believe in deities. So you hate both people that believe in deities (religion), and all atheists. I guess you left out non-religious non-theist’s… People who don’t believe in theism but have some kind of pagan belief system.

    That’s a very small ellipsis of the Venn diagram you’re carving out of people you don’t hate.

    Crystal girls that list ‘spiritual but not religious’ on their Tinder?
