Typically, services allow you set the host address by configuration. This way you can set it to `127.0.0.1` so that it is only available locally.

I found one of his books [0] more accessible or beginner friendly than the Noma book.
Reading a summary of the book in Wikipedia/Blinkist/ChatGPT is definitely not the same as the reading book.
Sure, you may grasp at the central idea or argument superficially, but to understand it fully, with its caveats and nuances, and overarching context?
You can regurgitate but not assimilate.
A common mistake is to publish the Docker ports unknowingly to all interfaces (e.g `5432:5432`), which makes your Docker container available to everyone. It is common to see this in Docker tutorials or pre-made Docker Compose files. Coupled with UFW, it may give you a false sense of security because Docker manages its own iptables rules.
Talking to a therapist can be helpful in getting to the root of it. Meditation also helps, but it may be a longer road. In other words, whatever helps you live a more examined life.
Regarding habits and the habit loop (what's being mentioned here), "The Power of Habit" [0] is a great read.
I went to the farmers market on a weekly basis. I prefer the farmers market because unlike the supermarkets, the produce is fresher, it is more local, it is much cheaper, and I get to know who produces the food that I eat. I care about organic food, and unless I went to the farmer's market that was explicitly for organic food (though less cheap), talking to the farmers would help me understand how they farm and all the nuance around it.
Anyhow, this is obviously not more efficient than a trip to the supermarket: it takes more time and I had to go at a specific time and location. However, I don't go to the farmers market in pursuit of efficiency. I do so because I want to support small farmers in my area, I want to eat fresher, and I cherish a tighter relationship with the food that I eat and the people who produce it.
I do understand your point of view on efficiency is meant as a broader observation, but I find that it misses the points of farmers markets that are at odds with the pursuit of efficiency: localism, conviviality, and, give or take, qualities about the food itself.

Providing a read-only, static version of the services, particularly toots and blog posts, while the origin is unreachable is straightforward and inexpensive.
Somewhat related, the Solar Protocol [0] does something like this to host websites across an array of solar-powered servers across the globe. http://solarprotocol.net/
This is not entirely new, it has existed since the dawn of mass media and the culture industry. It's hyperreality in its full form.
But don't forget, you _can_ opt out of this corporate and consumerist side of the internet. It's over when you're convinced that you cannot do so.
For me personally, this has made it easier to step away from places on the internet that had already started to go down the drain. It's as if the shitty part of internet finally consumes itself out of existence.
Instead, I now follow small personal blogs and niche forums where this is not an issue. Just people posting because they still believe in sharing and connecting, despite of generative AI.
I don't expect everyone to pay for a service like this, but I think that paying for a service like this is reasonable if you can afford it. There's always a modicum of trust that you must confer on the provider (they're resolving all your DNS queries, and you can view logs if choose to), but paying for it does better in aligning incentives. Otherwise self-hosting is the most privacy-friendly option of all.
