FiOS has been my favorite ISP because it’s just a hole in the wall the internet comes out of, and I can use my own hardware and they don’t seem to care if I run a server.

The bar is pretty low but at least they hit it.

Because I work with customers and they’re naturally spread around geographically, there’s nothing that would do it. There’s just no reason.

I'd build some kind of suction device to put negative air pressure on the tube while holding the nozzle in the toothpaste

The only docker containers I run on my router are a simple search proxy and an Infrared instance that routes Minecraft server connections to another box on my LAN. But IIRC that took a bunch of fiddling

I totally agree and I put in a good faith effort to block that stuff from my kids' devices using a pihole and what's available on their phones. But I remember being their age and getting away with things because I figured out the workarounds.

At the very least it'll teach them a little about networking and computers which will serve them well in their careers.

I've got almost all of my services running on a separate, bigger system and only have a couple ports open on this one. Iptables isn't too hard once you understand the shorthand.

Yep. Who among us as idiot teenagers hasn't downloaded "$current_starlet full nude sex tape.exe" from some shady site?

Porn sites have had "Confirm you are over 18" since the dial up days. That's about as much of a safety net as I think is necessary or practicable.

It's not that. It's that if you tell a horny teenager that there's pictures of naked people somewhere they'll move heaven and earth to get to it.

Much of eastern North America is having a relatively cool summer thanks to the smoke from the Canadian wildfires. Temps in my area have barely broken 85F/30C all summer

Now that we have an idea of how much ocean cloud cover can produce a certain amount of global cooling we can find other, better ways of doing it in a controlled manner.

My parents had a porn blocker, and all it made me do was learn enough about computers to circumvent it. Even if they put age verification in front of every porn site in the world there's still torrents and chat rooms and forums all over where you can find it, and kids will find it. Next thing they'll mandate is putting toothpaste back in the tube.

I still have hope in my little Posadist heart that the drastic addition of CO2 to our atmosphere, detectable at interstellar distances, will lead us to first contact with an advanced socialist species.

And my little conspiracy theorist heart believes that's why they've kept UAPs hidden for decades.
