- Comment on Best way to get IPv4 connectivity to my self-hosted services 12 hours ago:
I have a VPS hosted on Digital ocean with Nginx running as proxy, I use openvpn to connect to the VPS and access all my services over the VPS ip address.
I own a domain and forward all the requests from my domain to the Home server IP from my VPS, very useful because I can use different subdomains for different services all on port 80 or 443 even though the service is running on random port.

the Orb as a powerful tool to verify people’s identities and prove someone is really human at a time when artificial intelligence deepfakes are becoming more convincing.
My goverment ID ( India aadhar card ) already has my my biometric taken using eyes.
And I can verify my identity using eyes.
I don’t understand how this is anything new except it’s private company.

- Comment on Elon Musk's Social Platform X has filed a lawsuit agains Minnesota, challenging a law banning political deepfakes 1 month ago:
IAs far as I read this correctly, the law prohibits creating such media but does not hold the websites accountable for publishing the media.
It does indeed sound vague as to what the social media site should do.

- Comment on X, Meta and the Great Social Media Meltdown 2 months ago:
Although we are heading in the direction the article says. We are definitely not there yet. Instagram and Facebook have huge amounts of contents and users consuming mindlessly, my dad uses facebook to watch manufacturing videos of factories in china all day and my mother looks at recipes and wedding dresses on instagram. These lurkers are not going anywhere and they are majority of the users on these platforms, X being an exception.
Being on lemmy you might mistake yourself as there is a wave of social media downfall but if you truly look at big picture we are a small pond compared to huge lakes of users around the world with different age groups and interest.
