What's not testable.

Oh, I get it, NOT testable. In the immortal words of DD => "looks good"

Aw, Jeeze!
Have they decided to reawaken the "information" theories?
They were utterly ridiculous when they were first dreamed up; age hasn't improved them.

A fully load HDD weighs more than an empty one.

It makes the disks spin slower when they get full.

Yes. Ones must weigh more than zeroes!

The invariant mass of an electron is approximately 9.109×10−31 kilograms, or 5.489×10−4 atomic mass units.
At the same time, a photon cannot have mass and, therefore, weighs nothing.
It depends.

Nevertheless, "lightweight" is a recognized adjective.

Somebody is confusing two things:
1: The storage of information with the actual information, which is independent of both the storage media and it's transmission medium. My Date of birth is "information" (of a kind) but it is the same data regardless of the medium it is recorded on (but will have a different mass depending on that medium)
2: That 1's have mass and 0's don't, or that 1's are information, and 0's aren't. All options in a system are required in order to have information: try compressing data by removing all the 0's because "they have no meaning" and you'll see what I mean.

Don't confuse information with the various media for storage, retrieval, and transmission.
And would copying a file _create_ mass?

Hi all, I need to remotely access my home Linux hosted Postgresql database remotely - I'm thinking maybe a VPN is the way to go but thought I'd ask you lot first

I do similar and yes I use VPN for it. From my point of view an easy way and especially a very secure way.
It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question

Which VPN do you use ?

Were you seriously considering doing it without a VPN?
If so, your ideas may require some revision.
It ain't rocket surgery; you'll get the drift within a couple of hours.

Cool. I can't fault you for asking (I end up telling people how to use the stuff we make, so I'm something of an expert on asking stupid questions -- which are a Good Thing).
Yes, you should use VPNs. If you hear otherwise, people are giving you bad, and very dangerous, advice.
Randor has suggested a solution I would seriously consider to use in what seems to be your problem space, so I would follow his suggestion, and also search on similar solutions (using keywords given by Randor and the site he suggests), to make a decision after looking into it with an eye on what fits your situation best.
If you're not sure, though, don't make a decision on what might seem right. It's rare to find two places with identical problems that fit the same pre-made solution, so look at everything available, before making a decision.
Good luck, and kudos for asking for advice before jumping in.

Well, he would be able to access his database. Including many others...

Hi,
Wireguard[^] is quickly becoming the industry standard. The whitepaper is here[^]. You should invest a few minutes researching it.
