And then you put your phone on cellular and all the Wi-Fi controls are gone.

Google family app does some good.

Do you have kids?

What did you tell them about hardcore anal? All the kids want anal now.

They don’t know about all the prep, the behind the scenes, the emergency room runs where someone gets a perferated colon and risks bleeding out internally.

Did you mention that to your daughter?

I’m not advocating for government control, but simple snappy one liners are just that. Unless they’re funny. We all like those 😉

Agreed, unless it was everything everywhere, that would be scary, like China scary

What about using symlinks?

You creat a directory /media. Mount shares there. Your media application scans /media and just finds media files.

Still sucks because you have to mount each repo, /media/person1/movies, etc

But you don’t have to reconfigure media app anymore.

I don’t know what a pooled remote file system like what you’re wanting.

I think everyone is forgetting that there’s TLS on almost every website. You can monitor where people go, but you can’t see the traffic unless you get the person to install a malicious certificate in their device.

You can however have your traffic redirected to a lookalike site where you give up your account info. So there’s still some actual risk.

Happiness= porn in his case

How would you as a parent prevent your kids from accessing porn?

I’ve seen a bunch of comments expressing interest in the population declining. Since I don’t really want the Thanos approach, lowering the birth rate is great.

I propose sterilization for cash, like cash for clunkers. You get a bunch of free money if you decide you want fixed.

Think of the amount of people who’d take that deal. Long term, lower population, less social program spending, hopefully less people’s wanting abortions, win win. It goes against the rich people need for more workers, but you can dangle the lower welfare receipts, they’ll be all about that. 😋

Sorry, morbid humor among actual socioeconomic conversation.

It’s a dark version of funny thinking about the nuclear weapon deterrents.

Everyone wants them to force their way to the big boy table, they’re incredibly expensive, and using them is self defeating.

Also interesting how we spend a bunch of time, money, meddling, and military power on preventing proliferation, we are the only country that ever used them, twice.

Imagine being Truman and authorizing a weapon that was just invented that the scientists all regretted, conveyed they would be unimaginably powerful and at the same time, they had no idea if it would work or not.

Then after the first one, Japan doesn’t quit and you say, do it again.

I’m not sure if anyone has the balls to push that button now under modern circumstances.

When you stop and think about the amount of money just the US has spent on maintaining (barely) a nuclear arsenal I think, our species is stupid.

What’s the cumbersome part?

VPN? Mesh overlay VPN like tailscale/nebula mesh can do easy node add.

IPFS nodes might do the trick as mentioned.

That’s a good point, I didn’t think about that.

All stories like this are super frustrating to hear.

I’ve heard some stories where a person was targeted because of their social media handle being desirable. The anonymity part works both ways for both parties, sometimes, but I feel like it helps criminals more often than regular people.

Yeah I don’t get it either.

I take more issue with how v6 is going to work with SMB, hint the other post. I am hoping when my ISP stops denying the existence of v6, maybe they’ll do reasonable allocation or PD.

Yeah, it’s a lot. It’s a very large field, and you’re playing in two or three areas here.

Look at a couple of overlay options. ZeroTier is the one I remember off top of my head. There are others, Google alternatives. These use a coordination server. Some are a hosted service, but there’s some that you host yourself. These are supposed to be pretty easy. You watch a couple of videos on these, I bet you’re be fine.

Wire guard offers more traditional VPN. You can tunnel your device back to your network. Some routers offer a VPN option. There’s open sense, ddwrt, etc. Again, lots of videos.

Since you said you mostly wanted remote access, I strongly suggest not opening services to public and use VPN.

You can still learn reverse proxy too, but just do it internally, even though it wouldn’t technically be needed. This will be much safer and learner friendly.

I have ridiculous amounts of services running, but I use gateway router VPN to access most of them.

What cert did you put on the proxy answering the inbound? Usually that error means either the browser doesn’t like the cert, or it’s connecting to 80, and modern browsers really fight you on that sometimes. Also, cache. Clear your cache if you’re bouncing between internal URL/IP and the public.

I assume you just want to expose to internet to learn art of reverse. Otherwise there’s better ways.

Firewalling gets hairy. :(

This is what I worried about. The protocol advocates say this isn’t supposed to be the case, but early reports by organizations said they were seeing internal traffic on the Internet that were intended to be tunneled.

I guess the sites would need some pretty wide deny statements that block the types of traffic you don’t expect to leave.

I wonder if orgs block their own internal GUA at firewall to make sure their traffic gets tunneled? Or maybe they use GUA internally, but they block everything at the FW except the tunnel endpoints? If traffic escapes an ACL for tunnel protection, it gets blocked by default?

That is super interesting. Not getting into the politics, Security Now podcast recently discussed two US child protection online related initiatives.

From a technical perspective, I imagine it being difficult to both handle age proof, guardian proofing, and dealing with lack of anonymity. Part of why I posed the question.

I’d rather someone explain why they don’t like something then just down vote it. Seems lazy? I usually only down vote low effort or trash talk.

What do you take issue with?

This is difficult to argue with.
