This is false.

Using VMs as routers and firewalls gets very confusing very fast.

The way the richest people in the US have sucked up to Trump is shameful.

Netflix and Youtube both still use caches in ISP edges. The internet would melt without them.

This is just being lazy. I like to use Claude and Gemini to have debates and test ideas. If you do it right you can learn new things with every chat.

Or you were just reading confabulations, without a way to tell, corrupting your knowledge in the process.

In general, I believe the problem of our time (sociopolitical divide, echo chambers, propaganda, people getting pulled to extreme viewpoints ...) isn't so much about the difficulty to access truthful information (most people would know how to fact check their beliefs and assumptions given enough time and motivation), but about the constant information overload that makes this process impractical. You are essentially softening your brain into accepting large volumes of information as facts, unchecked, and pretend that it's a good thing. You essentially don't know anymore the extent of what you know. Worse, you no longer know how you came to know, because the underlying principles and processes of knowledge (natural laws, models, theories, ...) were not involved in the learning (you could assert that day means light, and that night brings darkness because you have seen it repeated extensively and convincingly, but you wouldn't internalise this knowledge through the model of the earth orbiting the sun, and so you wouldn't know how to generalize from this knowledge into thinking about seasons or do any abstract reasoning on your own).

That is to say, we should be much much more cautious about what and how we read and learn about stuff.

You will probably love Network Propaganda.

This is most definitely the issue, and I’d would say you can go a step further. There are groups of people who don’t know how to stay safe in the information environment, while others who understand how to shape the environment.

The latter group is able to shape the content available to the former.

You do if you need absolute control over data location, isolation, and physical access.

"If you don't colo your own generators you don't own anything."

Inverted indexes have the major advantages of supporting Boolean operators.

I have a custom domain name and setup my email to forward anything@domain to go to my inbox. This lets me instantly know who leaked an address and also makes it easier to filter.

The problem is that what he writes is very plausible and explains a lot about why Azure is so unreliable and insecure. The author didn't mention the shameful way Microsoft leaked a Golden SAML key to Chinese hackers. This event absolutely was a threat to national security.
