Yes its AI made I think, I'm kinda drunk and I thought it was funny. My floor is made of carpet and the fact that every fiber in my carpet could get a few trillion addresses in IPv6 is funny, Yet I had to pay a few thousand $$ for a block of IPv4. I wish the world could fully switch to IPv6 and abandon IPv4 already. We are already at the point where there are 2 humans to every 1 IPv4 address meaning not everyone can have one.

So Frontier fiber has moved into my area over the last few years and seem to be eating into Spectrums marketshare pretty well. Instead of Spectrum offering discounts they just want to give everyone more bandwidth and even Frontier's offers are far in excess of what we need.

I have a Unifi system at home with a Dream Machine and I've watched on weekends where I'm watching football on Fubo (TV), my daughter is playing Roblox and/or ticktocking and my wife has some terrible Rom Com going on Netflix downstairs...and our data NEVER spikes over 50-70Gbps.

Now we both work from home and my wife doesn't download video or other media...while I do. I move move data around with Dropbox or Apple File and I can see spikes of 100Gbps for a fraction.

Why do they insist on selling us bandwidth we don't need and how much do you tech nerds thing you REALLY need to get the job done?

I’m just gonna say it — Reddit’s karma system is one of the dumbest, most pointless features on this platform. What’s the point? Is it a badge of honor for people who farm karma like it’s some kind of digital currency? Or is it just another way for gatekeepers to keep genuine users out of discussions?

You try to join a community to have an actual conversation, and BAM! You’re hit with “You don’t have enough karma to post here.” Excuse me, what the fuck? Last time I checked, Reddit was supposed to be a place for discussions, not some elitist contest of who can collect the most imaginary points. It’s insane how this system blocks legit conversations while rewarding low-effort, meme-spam karma farming.

You’re silencing actual participation while boosting upvote-hungry garbage. The focus should be on discussions, not some arbitrary score that determines whether or not I’m allowed to say something. It’s not a game. It’s not a flex. It’s a joke.

Reddit, fix this mess. Stop turning discussions into a popularity contest. If you want people to stay, make this place less about karma and more about quality.

and the last thing, fuck you reddit.

Lately I have noticed a quiet shift in how people use the internet every day. It feels less like jumping from site to site and more like moving through small personal workspaces. I tried Neo recently while reorganizing my digital routine and it made me think about how much the structure of a browser shapes how we experience the web.

What interests me most is how tools are starting to feel more like environments rather than simple windows. It reminds me of the early days when everything online felt experimental and changing fast. Feels like we are entering one of those phases again, just in a more subtle way.

As the title says, what if I wanted to give everyone an involuntary break from the internet, how far could I get before getting caught an how feasible of a goal is it? Would I need to target specific servers etc?

How cooked are we ?? I honestly think we are going down a path that is unresponsive to Life itself...

This is an actual conversation underneath one of my posts

I have a feeling that the AI models we use today will eventually run mostly locally on our own devices. They’ll become so powerful that we may barely need to connect to the internet for many of the things we do today.

They could generate images and videos locally, answer questions, process information, run applications, and provide us with almost everything we need without relying on cloud servers.

If that happens, I wonder if the internet as we know it will slowly become less important, with more of our digital lives becoming localized and powered directly by our own devices.

Does anyone else think we’re heading in this direction?

Every site in the US uses cookies. Not sure about the rest of the world, but every site in the US uses cookies and I have to ask them to not sell my personal information. Wtf man. Cookies needs to die. US Congress needs to get their shit together and ban the use of data mining.

Edit: ok, I understand the purpose cookies, both innocent and sinister (corporate greed, politics, lobbying, etc). Never did I ask why do we have cookies. Regardless of the reason, its purpose has outgrown its usefulness to the everyday user. The only benefactors are data miners and those purchasing our data.

Genuinely because of all of the stupid censorship that is happening i feel like the people of the internet in like stupid terms should make a new internet kinda like an underground network and if this is already happening then let me know but like as in like new websites or replacements or the "light web" which is just dark web as in it functions outside the government but its just regular interweb instead of selling organs

My internet is just broken in my computer. It's slower than it supposed to be, pages don't work, wireless printers won't connect to it, though it connects to the phones, the canary channels are working better, but still very slow.

I flushed the dns, changed the dns server to 75757575 or whatever followed a couple of youtube videos, and I give up now. I need to totally reset my computer's internet settings. can someone pleeeaaase help me.

Just upgraded to windows 11

* Problems started after upgrading. Was working fine with windows 10.

* I am using xfinity

* it's an Ethernet connection.

I don't completely know how Internet Bandwidth works, but my question is if I have a Gigabit plan for my household and I plug an Ethernet cable into say, my PC, will that constantly run at nearly the full Gigabit speed or will its speed decrease as my family uses the Wi-Fi at the same time and will it be significant?

Edit: Also what does QoS tagging do (DSCP, WMM)?

Does anyone find ai comepletly irritating and useless and makes everything harder, im really tired of using the internet with it being added to everything searches ect, is there anyway to avoid it, use a internet browser without it like the old internet. What’s your ways to minimalise all the digital and AI online I’m so sick of having to use my phone to log in to everything and constantly open a text code or prove I’m a human every 5 mins.

I use ai for my what if senecios with characters from shows and movies and games I enjoy

And it's always a different, yet strange domain that was apparently attempting to redirect (like one appeared to be something about cow porn), but I mean honestly: Weather Channel's website, Fandom, and countless others keep popping these up all the time now, and it's really getting annoying.

Awhile back facebook had the option to report 'AI generated content', then the feature was removed. Since I binge youtube a lot, I often come across AI channels, and there's no way to report them. When you go to report an issue, 'AI content' isn't listed anywhere, so the closest thing you can choose is either 'impersonation' - which doesn't include the channel being fake - or 'my issue isn't listed' which takes you to a page explaining the importance of free speech. Bloody hilarious!

Yes, there's been some recent pushback on yt against AI-slop channels, but it didn't remove all of them, and you'd think it'd make sense to let the community report such channels, but no.

Edit: Sorry for the multiple posts, the site bugged out. I've deleted the duplicate posts.

Does anyone know how to block news related to Donald Trump? He is one of the most depressing leader of our time. I don’t want to hear him or his policies. I had enough with this guy

I just want to block Trump-related news from social media, news apps, or anywhere online? Any tips, extensions, or settings that actually work would be appreciated.

I just want to focus on other things without constantly seeing him pop up everywhere.

Unfortunately i was born TWO MONTHS after the 2000s were over. But im OBSESSED with old internet. With abondoned forums, 4chan, ragecomics, frutiger aero, and of course, this little guy

EDIT: it appears i created a shit ton of confusion. I wanted to hear more about the early era of the modern internet, like the examples listed above. I do not want to hear about some ancient stuff like early 90s, i would rather watch a history documental film (yes im calling you old ;) .)

So I live in FT. LAUDERDALE in a brand new building, they have contracted with one internet company that uses fiber optic and won't let any other company in. I need suggestions on how to get around it, that's not too expensive.

UPDATE! 10/6/2025 I income qualified for Xfinity at $15/per month, this new ISP cheapest plan is $70.

Internet is Losing value due to ai fakes need a new internet which doesnot allow ai fake videos air news some sort of proof of work for media. I don't know how to achieve this. But internet is needed just a more realistic one. How can we achieve this ? any ideas thoughts on how to do this with the data we have ?

Hello, I just had an interesting thought. I have been scrolling YouTube for quite a while today looking for what I thought was a pretty simple line of videos to watch. And it got me thinking, lately it just seems like it’s so hard to find real quality content anymore. Everything is overdramatized, overly sensational and feels fake. It’s not just on you either but that’s one of the ones where I’ve seen most of these problems pretty easily. Another thing is, it seems like a lot of things are just switching to a really crappy version of AI. The weirdest thing though is, a lot of things will switch to shorts as well instead of long form content, which would be understandable except for the fact that it gets completely replaced by it… and to make it all feel just really odd, a lot of the stuff I look up now I will get irrelevant results for that seem to make no sense. Is anybody else feeling this, I know that it’s already been proven that the Internet is getting worse, but does anybody else feel like it’s just gotten purposely dumbed down and the only thing that remains are really irrelevant and cheesy results that don’t really give you good quality information?

Thanks all I hope you have a great day. God bless!

This isn't really important, just my curiosity: What's the difference between sub.website.com and www.website.com/sub? I have no idea about how the internet really works, internet organization, etc., so please ELI5... Thank you.
