Making posts about how you're not home is bad OpSec.

Personally. I don't consider it a vacation until I'm cut off from everyone and everything. Let me relax in peace for a while, without distractions.

Hmmm

I hate selfies, so whenever I'm on vacation I just take pictures of my surroundings but never with me in it. Once, my cousin wanted to see my vacation pics, so I showed them to him. He then asked why I'm not in any of them. When I said I didn't think it was necessary, his genuine confused reply was, "But how do people know you were really there, then?"

It's really insane out there.

I don't even take pictures

I would absolutely not go if I had to post something.

are you really vacationing if there is no one to witness it

Sadly, this was a thing even before the web, let alone social media. There’s always been people for whom the vacations didn’t even “happen” unless they get to go on incessantly about them when they come back, ideally subjecting you to two hours of photos that mean very little to you. They derive little enjoyment from actually being there, they take it from showing it others…

For some people life is not worth living without external validation. Sad.

Allrighty, I'll use other request types, like PUT, or just base64 encode and GET it :D

Send me on a permanent vacation travelling the world and I’ll burn my phone and go no contact with anyone I know ever again

First, What's a vacation?

Second, I don't post anything on line now as it is.

Someone never cruised before social media was invented and now suffers brain rot. A lot of people actually.

Stare out at a vast expanse of water and think about life, children.

I understand wanting to share pictures of your trip and stuff, but if it's such a compulsive need you wouldn't be able to not do it, you've got issues.

Consider the asker. Y'all have fun with your selfies, I'm going on vacation.

Uh gee, for starters don't go around broadcasting that you're not home. Watching your stuff. Do you want property theft? Because that's how you get property theft! You can brag and selectively post all the highlights and none of the lowlights when you're back if you think that you need that to feel better about yourself.

vacation? that would crazy.

I gave up posting on insta and facebook a couple years ago.

It's been great. I share links to my holiday pics with close family that takes them directly to my chosen FTP site and that works fine

Take the pictures, post them later

Eew. That part of the internet is leaking in again.
