Does the 404media article mention that rare botanical book? I saw an excerpt here elsewhere of their examples and it wasn't in that list. Also I had a family member work in libraries. They got rid of books for very small prices based o

I use a dedicated server and a vps for this, so I get around the residential IP reputation issue. The rest of the problems with deliverability are overblown. In 15 years of doing it on multiple servers, I've had one 2 month period wher

I worked around this by just storing the 2FA in Bitwarden. Yeah, same place as the passwords but I don't care I don't want the forced context switch.

At $dayjob we have the same mentality and as a result have a load of managed read replicas that are never used for anything (not reporting, not read only queries, not backups because $cloud handles it) that cost every month. Plus managed da
