  • Who should do this vetting though? The internet was built up with the idea of technical neutrality - everything else came on top. TLDs came later and were used to either describe the origin of a page or its intended(!) use. That leads to the case that not only can a propaganda outlet mark itself as “info” - it’s actually historically correct to do so as it’s about what the host wants to communicate.

    ICANN, the organisation behind the TLDs, actually always struggles with this btw. A more recent example was the decision which domain should be reserved for local name services. It took y long time (I think years overall) to get to: .internal (edited, brainfart)





  • The systematic change you describe would make sure that people are “on time” though, just redefining on what that meaning.

    Being “on time” I understand as one of two things:

    • Being in a place you agreed to be at a time you agreed to.
    • Something happens for a lot of people and it was announced beforehand that this will do.

    The first one is your responsibility, the latter is impossible to make in a way that works for everyone.

    I don’t understand how this “change” should look like, what you’d expect people to do for meeting each other and events.

    Of course I’m fine with “I take public transport I’ll be there between four and six” as a statement for punctuality. Beyond that though?











  • (not OP but same boat) Doesn’t really matter to me because google knows my servers external IP which is a non-issue: I don’t expect google to try to attack me individually but crawl data about me. There is no automatic link between my server and my personal browsing habits.

    In terms of attack vector vs ease of use , self hosting searxng is a nobrainer for me - but I do have an external server available for things like that anyway so no additional overhead needed.
