You seem to be assuming that the volume is immediately replaced by the external atmosphere, which I doubt is valid, more likely that the volume of the person would decrease, at least temporarily. The weight of 1 Liter (assuming a massive fart) of air is 1.275g according to wolfram, so, using your density numbers above, 1.275 * 1.06/1.2 = 1.126g lighter. Measurable with a really good scale, if the 90ml fart volume is realistic (has to be more realistic I guess), that’s ~.1g,

Think of yourself as a hot air balloon with a very tiny chamber, and when you release a 90 milliliter fart, you lose a little buoyancy and sink a little. You get heavier when you fart.

No, you get denser, but not heavier.

Perhaps a poisoning the well attack on AI scrapers?

Cool, you said ‘old Win 11 machine’, I assumed. It’s really not intensive, never know it’s there. I guess it’s a VPN, a few curls, some stats and a light webserver ?

I have a similar setup on my laptop, a docker searxng (well podman rootless, but near enough) locked into a gluetun instance. Works fine, simple to set up, sucks less than any individual search engine and is usefully configurable, but I’m on linux, I expect there’s more pain for windows (linux might be a use for the spare computer…). It’s not resource intensive. Gluetun let’s you expose a local port for searxng and you just point your browser at https://192.168.x.x:8192 or whatever, no need to worry about exit IP. Gluetun is well used and has a focus on avoiding leaks, plenty of eyes on the code, I’ve never had any problems.

You can wireguard (or tailscale or whatever) into your home network and use it on your phone too. Spin up a pihole for adblock while you’re at it. I say go for it…
