I'm surprised people still think of Perl like this. You realize Perl is being used by major sites such as imdb, booking.com, and duckduckgo? Maybe try watching the video before making a critical comment.

I have been slowly migrating away from my gmail account and I intend to delete it very soon. I highly recommend Protonmail as an alternative web-based email provider.

Not sure about a toster, but there are benefits to having some household appliances connected to the internet. For example, a washing machine may be able to determine what hour it should operate for maximum energy savings, and ping you when

It depends on the type of application and the requirements and expectations of its users. I wouldn't recommend having a web app talk to its database over a WAN, for example. Unless it had a decent caching layer in between.

But you are part of a very tiny proportion of users smart enough to realize this. And it doesn't address the issue of someone sending private (or incriminating) messages to you, which would still link you as a "person of interest&

Why is this a problem? What's wrong with living a reclusive life, if that's what you want to do? I live alone and don't go outside unless I have to buy food. I work online, and make electronic music and play video games when

I spent years making a website/webapp similar to metacritic, which aggregated new releases of new movies, games, apps etc, except the data was crowd-sourced, like wikipedia. It worked great and looked good. However, it never made more
