  • Your ip is the identity of your router.

    By using simple tools you can find the manufacturer of your router and potentially use a known security to gain access to your network.

    You expose yourself to being targeted by focused network attacks, since they know the address belongs to you.

    In ye olden days, it would have been possible to track your ip and what it was accessing online. Its harder to do today due to cryptography and vpn’s, but still a risk.









  • Honestly. Many things were so much better before.

    If you didn’t like it on the internet, you could just not use it. Nowadays everyone with a pulse is forced to be on the internet, even if they shouldn’t.

    People used to understand that things existing digitally, meant that they would spread on the internet. Including and especially incriminating stuff. Trolling people who where clueless used to be fun too. The iOS7 update campaign where people were stupid enough to microwave their phones to charge them was incredibly funny.

    There wasn’t karmawhoring or attention seeking, in fact you would be chastised for acting like you wanted attention.
