  • Because nobody in this comment section are going to know this, as they are just looking to dog on danish politicians (which they deserve and is based), please remember that Denmark has a universal digital ID system. If you are a citizen, you have a digital ID. It is not hard for, say, Facebook, to authenticate you once with this ID. It does not leak information continuously, and a self-respecting platform, unlike Facebook, can simply keep a boolean in their database for “is age verified” after asking the ID system what your age is.

    The only real issue here is that users have no granular control over what information is taken out of the ID system, so Facebook could just take your full name, address and age.

    It’s also not going to be applied universally, because for one danish politicians don’t know that the internet exists outside of TikTok and facebook, but also because that’s not possible to implement.

    If you are a danish citizen, and you’re smart, you go to borger.dk and apply for Name & Address Protection. Then even MitID can’t leak a lot of that information. It’s free and easy.




  • We dislike it because nobody needs it. Nobody here is getting DDoS’d to any extend that needs external protection.

    I’m talking anecdotally but it seems to me that all the people who ride-or-die Cloudflare are also self-hosters who aren’t very knowledgeable about self-hosting concepts and just heard that cloudflare protects against all these imaginary problems because they sure do sound scary!













  • I like what he does and that he can rally people to a cause, but he consistently misses the mark.

    In order to escape the corrupt bureaucracy of New York, he moved to… Texas.

    I think he’s a ‘path of least resistance’ kind of guy, not ideologically driven but rather “I don’t wanna deal with it” driven. He has deemed that it is easier to move to Texas because the corruption there affects him less directly and more abstractly, and he chooses to front Right to Repair because it is easier to lobby and rally people than it is to work in his industry without his political influence.

    He has a front row seat to the horrors of capitalism and, without missing a beat, says “I’m not a socialist, I’m a capitalist” because it’s easier to be a shitlib than it is to believe in something bigger.
