They did not. They bought postini. Before then spam was really, really bad on gmail.

Anyone that was around while Reddit was growing will remember that there were few subreddits to begin with. I think fediverse needs that to happen before expanding.

I don’t know how to fix it. Maybe sub-feddits need to be pruned if they aren’t thriving. Maybe tags in titles would be more helpful until they have enough content to warrant their on category.

A lot of the responses are offering an all or none response. The issue isn’t OP wants to block all memes posts, they just don’t want to see them as often.

This is an algorithm/fedi issue I suspect. It would require curation.

Since fedi isn’t really about that, the only option is to downvote.

Downvote shitty memes.

Pay for that?

$. Almost every reason for shutting off boils down to lack of financial support to keep it running.

Yeah Singapore has good public transit options but it doesn’t handle everything.

Many people own cars though and the certificate is transferable and is part of the car loan, so it mostly becomes a monthly cost.

If you’re trying to show off in Singapore you have multiple cars in your own garage, including an old super car and an suv you use to drive to your boat club where you can take your boat out for the day.

As long as I can still make my character look like a 65 year old gender fluid meth addict I’ll play it.

If I wanted to do this today I would use iTunes and an old iPhone as the mp3 player. I would use an old laptop to rip, or iTunes to purchase.

Most sugar alternatives used in soda really messes with your guts.

The only thing worse than a single database server is servers poorly maintained database servers. The idea was right, but maybe the implementation was wrong.

TLDs are a scam.

FYI the app on iOS didnt work at all even after force closing until I attempted to log off. It crashed after that and when I closed and restarted it started working.

I manage storage systems as part of my day job. i think you would be happy with a simple direct attached storage device. You’d need a storage controller card and a storage controller. These are usually enterprise-grade items so they might be expensive. I suspect there are SATA options but SATA is pretty slow.

QNAP and Synology are decent for what they offer, if you like the idea if turning it on, setting up an account, and then having access to both native and an easy 3rd-party store with no fiddling needed then they are a good idea. You can also setup an iSCSI connection for direct-attached storage over the network.

It’s used for out of band management. With the correct hardware items (nic and gpu) it’s called vPro. With the proper certificate and supporting infrastructure it can auto-enroll into a management service such as SCCM. It allows companies to remotely view logs, bios settings and other items. With vPro it can include a complete remote KVM solution.

You can disable it from most UEFI settings interfaces without worry of causing other issues.

120 is the lower limit for killing stuff off. Not much will live or grow at a sustained 120.

I leave mine at 120 and every Sunday it kicks up to 135 for an hour for peace of mind.

Sadly that looks more like a parts car to me, but getting it running and stopping makes for a good flip.

Might need to throttle posts from anyone to a single domain that isn’t already allow listed.

It’s the websites with ads that heat up my phone so much it hurts that are the problem.

I just looked they have a service called “alternative port 25” that addresses this issue.

Honestly though, once you start adding up costs for these workarounds you have to wonder if it’s easier to just get a business internet circuit, cloud security gateway, or just host the email online.

You can use a port reflector service. No ip.com might still offer it. Basically forwards anything incoming to their ip on port 25 to your ip and whatever port you specify.

I’m not saying 120k is great, but I’m suspect that a timing chain slipped off at 150k with obvious signs of impending failure. Maybe the local mechanic they took it too wasn’t following the recommended inspection interval? Most shops only care that you replace your nearly new oil every 3k miles and sell you $50 wiper blades. I’ve never had a non-dealer pull out a factory maint schedule.

Does your insurance have a Teladoc? Call.

I’m pretty sure I read the chain on genesis engines gets replaced at 120k if applicable.

Google accomplished their goal of increasing internet usage. Where ever they threatened to go the local isp suddenly got their act together.

I’m suggesting local government 1)provide a baseline service and 2) treat last-mile delivery like a utility. In the pockets of the US where local government or utility provider is also an ISP, I have yet to hear of people being upset with it. It’s usually something crazy like $15/mo for 500/50 speeds that comes out of your water/trash/electric bill.

I’m not saying what they are doing/did is best. I think it’s been mishandled for decades. I’m just saying this is how the government “thinks” and why cost overruns and corruption is often lower on the priority list.

I’d rather the service providers be threatened with local government ownership if they mishandle the deal.

In fact I think last-mile delivery should be provided by the local government and be subsidized by taxes to some extent. Residents should have the option to use public funded internet with baseline bandwidth targets, have the ability to choose a different ISP that’s managed at a local colo going over the public wires, or choose a last mile isp using their own private wired or wireless infrastructure.

Timing belt gets inspected at 60k miles and I believe replaced at 90k. I would assume belt slipping off at 10 years would be due to lack of proper maintenance.

At the end of the day the gov shouldnt care. They are spending the same amount of money.

If the government wants to make it fair though, they can simply block the “scammers” from future projects.

Yes, but think like the government: should we fine the isp, or do what it takes to get broadband to those underserved areas? Fines and other similar approaches just put those ISPs closer to going out of business and that makes it worse for the people targeted by the project.

@postmalone you’re a NERD

For rather cheap I can see what traffic is suspicious. If you throw more resources at the problem and scale up it becomes simple to see traffic that looks like dns over https without having to decrypt it. Indicators such as size, frequency, consistent traffic going from your host to your DoH provider and then traffic going to other parts of the internet….these patterns become easy to establish. Once you have a good idea that a host on the internet is a DoH provider you can drop it into that category and block it.

there is a lot more to modern firewall app detection than ports. My Palo Alto has a specific category to detect and block dns over https.

It’s trivial for me to detect and block dns over https with modern firewalls.

1st: fire hazard, code violations, insurance won’t pay out.

2nd: This is fine for maybe a shed or ADU but when you start doing this to a home and start thinking big picture, there are some questions that come up, such as most of the cost in solar is the labor. If you’re already mounting panels, inverters, wiring, why not go the extra steps to install solar for the home and gain back a lot more costs when the sun is shining? Why mess around with a small window a/c when for the same amount of work (or less) you can install a mini split with better efficiency?

Are they unionized?

Consoles will never go away. Even Xbox, effectively a pc, exists.

I suspect it’s because of controllers, ease of use, and cost.

Would it heat up the oceans: yes.

Significantly:no.

If this pans out it would be a lot better than what we are doing now.

I’m talking out of my ass, but software devs rarely think about scalability, backup, and high availability.

“Tweet” is now up for grabs. All similar platforms should call them tweets.

Boomers living to 150 is going to be awful.
