If I remember rightly DO have some restrictions like port 25 on ipv6 outbound being blocked. I can't speak for all of them but I use mythic beasts in the UK for one mail server (they are a very knowledgeable old school host) and it has

Drop your sarcasm for long enough to see that "I won't use your app if I have to use Google" is not a complaint _to_ Google. The bank I was talking about were the worst net loser of customers in the UK last year (around -8000

Not the person you replied to, and it's impossible to know with certainty how often you're in someone else's spam, but very rarely. I had an issue with yahoo a couple of years ago that's all. The "it read like there

A VPS or cheap dedicated is enough to get the static IP. I have very few problems with email, I use one VPS and one dedicated server though some zealots would argue a vps isn't self hosting

I've kept a spare cheap android for too long and recently went with Graphene instead. I have one Google profile and only use it for Uber, work's Google Chat and maps. One bank refused to work (even with Google services) so I moved

The reason for the growth over different time frames can differ. Anecdotal, but most of the IT people I know from Poland worked for, as they call it, "big corpo" and generally it's offshoring either directly with companies su

> The rest of the EU also benefits from their hard work I don't know. I want to agree with you, but a large part of the economic growth in Poland is off-shoring and cheap tax (~12% on contract) for tech workers. The average tech wag

On a slightly unrelated note, I was setting nameservers for two .de domains a few weeks ago and thought my provider was being crazily strict because they kept getting rejected. Turns out you can't point to a nameserver until that names

That's fair and true. I guess my issue with Firefox is that Google is obviously Google, and you know what to expect from a company like that. Mozilla is pretending to be an underdog while at the same time they are Google by proxy - aim

If you're using a computer from any time in the past 20 years or so it's probably capable of multitasking so you can open another browser to pay your bills in the meantime. I'll give myself as an example, between writing that

Not being able to suggest an alternative for Chrome doesn't imply that Firefox is a good alternative. On GrapheneOS they recommend Vanadium - a more secure Chromium fork - and specifically recommend against Firefox, but that's on

I will never use Brave after the debacle where they injected content into sites downloaded over HTTPS to pretend people were promoting their crypto token and adding a "donate" button on the page.
