   Well, that's right. There is no meaningful difference in the sense that they both have to serve files from a storage backend, over a port to a frontend. I was comparing ftp folder permissions with webserver htaccess permissions. What I

    Okay. That would not even be possible in most of the EU. That's why I wondered. Some EU countries have limits on the maximum amount of cash transactions that can happen legally. Mostly between 3000-10000 euros allowed, depending on the

    I'm just wondering, what would you prefer to be the method? Isn't providing banking info the least they need? To send the money?

    It can be a quite complex process. It also tends to break easily if not done right. Most organizations that deploy large amounts of systems will create Windows images with tools like Microsoft SCCM for example. This also works: https:&#x2

    Felt like I was reading a description of what I feel. Kind of punched me in the face when I read at the end that he's 70...I've been in my animal for 35 years...perhaps it's time to reconsider my life. The problem is, I will

    I have an android phone without google play enabled or installed. Not even a replacement framework such as MicroG or whatever. Works fine. Check how f-doid apps are running, or what it requires. No google license, api, nothing.
