That's true. It will be down much less often than a single server in someone's basement.

That is, in my opinion, far superior to using a single server ran by "someone".

It's very clearly proven that murder is dangerous, yet people still commit it. You still have not explained how laws stop things from happening, as if by magic. > And I am not even going to respond to your idiotic "leftist&qu

CloudFlare is free/cheap and hey presto, no servers to manage!

I brought a 5G Peplink modem (which has 4 external antennas) in my checked luggage and got "randomly searched" by TSA on both legs of a trip once, which I thought was pretty hilarious.

Is their comment true because you want it to be, or is it actually factually inaccurate and biased as many other people are saying?

I would imagine it is aware of NOTAMs that indicate runways being closed when it picks where to land. It's probably a possibility in some bizarre & unlikely set of circumstances with perfect timing, but even then it's still a

It is a joke about how stupid and pointless pushes to require "age verification" online are. Such efforts have been in the news a lot recently.

They generally use SMS authentication. I have yet to see one that has a hard requirement for an app, let alone one that actually requires a Google account. Regardless: The fact that a specific tool is the easiest way to do something doesn&#

You can have a Yahoo account, a Hotmail account, a ProtonMail account. You can go to your bank in person or without an app. I would be less surprised to learn that a bank does not have an app than I would be to learn they do not have a web

You are suggesting that companies be legally required to staff a "Complaint Bureau" where low-level employees must face, in person, the most disgruntled and potentially unstable 1% of the internet. This can only end well.

If Google bans 100,000 bot accounts a day, and even 1% of those "users" request a human appeal, you are demanding 1,000 hearings every 24 hours. Who pays for this? Magic? If the cost of providing a "free" email account i

I would hardly consider someone that doesn't even know what rate limiting is to be a "developer."

Increasing the barrier to entry from "trivial" to "less trivial" is always a good start.

It didn't say can . It stated it rather definitively, which I wanted to point out the absurdity of.

That's why there are no publicly-traded companies more than a decade or two old. Oh, wait...

I want to like Wayland, but they've really thrown the baby out with the bathwater. What matters to users is usability and, in this case, compatibility; not theoretical purity. The fact that I had to go seek out a way to run a headless

...but the "zero risk" approach has led to people just lying or avoiding treatment. That's worse than it being out in the open.

I've had no issues setting it up with Fedora and Ubuntu with kmods/Nvidia drivers. I just say I want it, and I have it. It's really easy now.

Hmm. This seems like it could be abused rather hilariously (or not, depending on your perspective) by malware...

I think the only visible effect from that was the Engineer's metal, giving +40 or +41 from a small box, depending on the server platform (all classes technically do have metal, but the others can't use it). It was always fun to pl
