if I have communications with someone through the internet with a homeserver. I would inevitably give out my IP address. Is that a bad thing? In my country they don’t have services like that, RTCing would be a bit sluggish using available euro servers.

    My work email has been automated notices about things that aren’t usually my responsibility, mixed in with online-meeting invitations and HR pseudo-spam for at least 3 years.

    Strangely, my phone became the same over about the same time period. I don’t know that I’ve had a legitimate phone call in as many years… if anything’s even close, it’s some person with a wrong number (fewer and fewer of those though, too).

    There’s some grander sociology mechanism at work here, but I haven’t quite managed to figure it out myself. Are all communications networks bound to the same fate eventually?
