  • For me it’s like there’s a council in my head, but they’re all me. One takes the center and the rest are all around, in the “room” in my head. Each one is a specialist at a different thing, which includes one of them who is always putting on a performance of a song.

    So far I’ve identified:

    • A singer
    • A problem-solving orchestrator (gets all the others to collaborate)
    • A lover (occasionally pines for affection, loves being cutesy)
    • A joker (shouts jokes over the rest of the voices)
    • 3-5 non specialists that just deliberate about things
    • A writer (functions as my inner monologue when I’m writing something)

    My wife will poke fun at me because sometimes I’ll end up narrating my own thought processes with “we” and she’s like “Got a mouse in your purse?”



  • Yeah, but if you want privacy, it’s a fine idea to prevent public networks and such from examining your traffic patterns. My personal main use case for a self-hosted VPN is for using public networks for private traffic, and I wouldn’t suggest doing hardcore high volume piracy through such a thing.

    The idea of using one for piracy is more focused on finding a VPS provider that can accept cryptocurrency and doesn’t require your personal details.

    Edit: whoops, realized I got the premises backwards in my earlier comment. Sorry about that.
