  • Excellent advice. It’s a game of cat and mouse (or whack-a-mole, whatever metaphor works…).

    Sites that want your data for whatever reason hate VPNs, so they identify exit points and blacklist traffic from them. VPN providers know this so they spin up new exit points with different IP.

    Just try a different server. Sometimes it’s a regional ’rights’ issue, so pick another server that is in the same jurisdiction, for instance in the case of streaming.



  • I think the best question to ask first is ‘what kind of server?’

    A web server could run a reasonably busy low-tech web2.0 blog site on a phone, I think without breaking a sweat.

    Other types of serving (media, especially) would be resource limited) maybe not.

    And there is an important difference between ’novelty’ and ‘demo’. Even a novelty server can demonstrate new ways to think about tech. Maybe an author could host their book launch on such a setup, serving only a single file and showing that we don’t exactly need to involve Amazon. That’s where my head goes when thinking about these efforts.





  • Anger is a natural result of discovering that your natural abilities are routinely exploited and taken for granted but your needs that are a direct result of those same abilities will not be met.

    My emotions are very well regulated, thank you. It is normal to feel anger when gaslit into thinking your normal human variation is a disorder.









  • The two topics are hard to relate together for me. Machines and automation of them in our current system implies someone owns both the automated machine AND the output of said system. (Let’s conveniently forget the essential contributions of the human wage-slaves making the whole thing operate, cuz fuck ‘em)

    So once we have figured out how to get people to move past greed-based concepts of private ownership of every fucking thing that moves, the ‘automation question’ you pose will automatically be solved too.
