Which VPS provider are you using? Many of them end up blacklisted for mail delivery due to spammers using them.

That’s good to hear, thanks for the reply!

A Freedombox user in the wild!! I’ve been following the project since 2011 but I never thought it really achieved its potential. How do you use yours, and how do you find it?

The solution proposed by the author is to host your own fediverse instance on a … wait for it … corporate VPS.

I don’t think it helps to gate-keep self-hosting as being only for local hardware. It’s also about managing your own software stack so you’re not reliant on Big Tech to provide services to you.

Anyone with the ability to inject or modify packets in the network path between server and client can inject malicious javascript or browser exploits into an unencrypted HTTP TCP stream. The client’s User-Agent and other headers would allow the attacker to customize their attack to target that specific browser version, and compromise the client machine.

Not to victim blame here, but out of curiosity: did you sign up and access their services using a normal residential IP?

How much are the gas fees these days?

You didn’t hear about the quota?

Explain to your boss that it’s slowing down your work to have to take these calls. If your boss is fine with that, get in writing, ie. over email so you can’t be blamed for low productivity later. Now it’s not your problem.

If your boss isn’t fine with it impacting your work then get permission to decline these calls with “sorry I’m busy with my own work, please put something in my calendar.” Use your busy/available status in your calendar to manage when they can schedule these calls.

Were you reminded of this after seeing I Saved a PNG Image To A Bird by Benn Jordan?

Yes but I think the commenter is saying that if a person had installed this package, removing the package in the package manager is probably insufficient to remove the infection from the machine.

The idea that we could onymously broadcast our opinions to the whole world, to be archived forever, and not have them used against us was naive in the first place.

Yeah I would just retract my contribution right there.

One point that you didn’t cover: How do you sleep at night, knowing that you’re working for a company that is openly and deliberately destroying the foundations of democratic society and supporting a resurgence of fascism globally?

Was the server officially released by Blizzard or was it reverse-engineered and built by the community?

What are the specs and how are you finding the performance?

the Lucid Air Grand Touring traveled from St. Moritz, Switzerland, to Munich, Germany on a single charge, traversing 1,205 km, or 749 miles.

No mention of the battery size or the average speed maintained over that distance.

Also, “A Wizard of Earthsea” by Ursula Le Guin.

The average horse has a maximum output of about 10-15 horsepower. So at best, it’s two horses.
