You should not host anything that’s going to be public facing on your home network in 2026, period. Get a cheap German VPS and go nuts with it. There’s simply too much at stake opening up your home router/firewall for such little gain. Plus, being a residential IP behind NAT might just make it straight up impossible.

I host my own email and a matrix server. I would never think of exposing my home network to the internet. I use tailscale to get into the homelab, anything exposed to the net lives somewhere far, far away.

I use netcup for my email and matrix. It’s extremely reasonable.

This just in: Google sucks

I’d be so mad if the last thing I saw before plummeting to my fiery death was that stupid smug little sad face and a BSOD

I know this is tongue in cheek but kids should be able to use the internet. It’s important that kids become digitally literate and the wonders of the internet are great.

It’s so obvious that social media has made the world an objectively worse place and this is just another extension of that. Social media companies should face consequences when they harm children, full stop. Personally, I’d be fine with banning social media outright but I understand some may have free speech concerns. However, I don’t see how the interests of corporate capital and the attention economy can be squared inside this circle. Corpos will always want to maximize screen-time and they don’t give a hot fuck who’s brain they melt. Unfortuantely we live in a world where even the president of the US is a demented pedophile rapist so I don’t have much hope for people like Zuck seeing the consequences of his actions.

Social media is a societal disease and until we actually deal with the root of the problem, which honestly doesn’t have anything to do with kids at all and really boils down to capitalist incentives and their relation to the attention economy, we will continue to see harms inflicted upon the digital citizens of the world.
