  • As soon as someone else has access to the hardware, assume someone else has access to the data. Depending on your threat model this might be acceptable. If you just don’t want <INSERT GENERIC EVIL BILLIONAIRE> snooping, I’d say a VPS is a perfectly valid solution.

    I use a dedicated server, but in this regard it is similar to a VPS, and I carefully consider what kind of data I put on it. I wouldn’t put very private data on there. Simply because I see no need for it to be there.


  • Don’t worry. You’re not seeing yourself above others, you’re just only seeing yourself.

    Depression is one answer. Anhedonia is another. Not having agency in ones life. War, starvation, malice, indifference.

    Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy you are happy, but you sound like someone who have lived a sheltered, privileged life.





  • Not so much a weird thing, but more a weird price.

    My local thrift store are known to have high prices. Not because they sell high-quality stuff, the prices are just high. The most insane thing there is what’s clearly a jar that used to hold pickled beets. It’s clean, though, I’ll give them that. Pickled beets are cheap and available in all groceries here. The thrift store chose to price this, empty, jar at 150% the price of a new jar including pickles!
