I completely disagree with recommending exposing a port to someone who's asking this very question about the relative risks.

If they lack the expertise to understand the risk differences, then they very much lack the expertise to securely expose a port.

Oh ffs, fuck you Mozilla.

Can't wait to finish my home server setup to give to family and friends, which includes PiHole and a few other things I can keep updated just to block shit like this.

It will age far better.

Technically it was a marvel. Visually stunning.

I saw it with some coworkers who were 15 years younger than me, and one of our managers who was 25 years older than me.

He and I looked at each other in the first 15 minutes and just shook our heads. Our younger coworkers were awed.

It was a lame conflation of a bunch of myths that I'd read in books written in the 50's and 60's, and some stuff taken from different religions.

Nah, I'm glad he did WWW instead. I'm just not seeing him in The Matrix, but as someone who grew up watching WWW, Will nailed James West, and I thank him for that.

Unpopular Opinion Time: WWW is a better movie than The Matrix, because it doesn't try to be more than it is - a goofy, silly, wild west meets new technology time... Just like the TV show was. The Matrix tried too hard, took itself too seriously and instead delivered tropes as if they were messages from beyond. I cringed when I saw it. The action was fun, but oof, that story. At least WWW could laugh at itself.

People sill use Google search?
