My point wasn't so much that I think RED is shady but that exposing my IP seems like an unnecessary requirement to join. Why can I not have my membership tracked via an anonymous account? If they are concerned about account harvesting or something, then the interview already seems like a good enough measure, accompanied by seed ratio minimums.

Don't most YouTubers make more money with their own sponsorships than from YT ads? Can we start the mass migration to PeerTube already?

the risks in cannabis are comparable to caffeine, and on an objective level, even smaller

OK maybe? I think it depends on the user. Excuse my falling back on anecdotes now, but I don't think I've met anyone whose had a panic attack from drinking coffee (though I would not be surprised). However I know several people who have had panic attacks from ingesting THC.

I agree that we are too blase as a culture about the relative risks of caffeine and alcohol dependence. I just get frustrated when people parrot the notion that cannabis has never hurt anyone. I even support the cause to at least decriminalize it and even legalize it for adults, though we need better education about the potential risks. I've only ever seen warning labels about the habit-forming nature.

That's probably because I'm trying to defend my initial statement, and I didn't realize you were only taking issue with the sources I presented.

In light of that, excuse my accidental strawman. But also, I don't really care to argue about the veracity of the research presented by the NIH.

There's clearly no convincing you. By all means, continue to spread the myth that cannabis can do no harm to anyone, and eventually the wrong person will believe you.

More whataboutism. We're talking about weed. And I'm not making the blanket statement that no one should smoke weed. I'm saying it does have health risks that should not be ignored.

Also it's offensive that you would trivialize the suffering that people go through in a panic attack.

Someone's asking for sources on wild claims, quick, let me google some correlations

You say that like it's a bad thing. What else am I to do when someone asks for sources? I've read similar research in the past and went to find it again.

If you look at the link between alcohol and mental health disorders

That's whataboutism.

I love that the EU is cracking down on tech, but I also wish the US government could get in on that awesome rake.

I'm not in the market, but I've actually had similar thoughts of building a project on top of NixOS that's focused on self-hosting for homes and small businesses. I recently deployed my own router/server on a BeeLink mini PC and instead of using something like OpenWRT, I used NixOS, systemd-networkd, nftables, etc.

DM me if you want to discuss more. I think the idea has potential and I might be interested in helping if you can get the business model right (even if it just ends up being some FOSS thing).
