You just have to keep opening tickets every few days telling them that the previous ticket(s) haven't been addressed. They're dumb.

I run my own email. I have my own physical servers, that I built and tested myself, that I'm colocating. They handle both incoming and outgoing, and I've been doing it for so long that there is no previous reputation for the IP ad

Curious: Why? Do you want to feed it? Shoo it away? Get to know it? Avoid letting your cat out when it's around?

"Stop buying from them" is boycotting. This is what I've chosen to do. It's wholly the fact that they did what they did in a very "in your face" way, as though they knew they'd be alienating people. Then,

That's because you lack imagination, you lack knowledge about how we've gotten to where we are, and you lack understanding about the value of keeping software portable. There are many, many reasons for maintaining support for alte

Nobody (that I know of or have seen) wants to punish him for his past. He, and they, are actively and currently proud of his surveilling work, so it's not in the past.

It's a shame the company decided to play dumb about what they did on social media. I don't want to patronize a company that is fine alienating a whole segment of their community, then pretending like it never happened. The rest of

There's no issue with the WireGuard® implementation aside from the fact that the author of WireGuard®, Jason Donenfeld, didn't like that it wasn't a straight port of his code, but was instead a new implementation based on the

Pi devices are more than capable of running web sites and web apps. I'm running a somewhat busy SearXNG instance on a Pi 4, for instance. Just get self-powered USB attached storage and a Flirc case, and it can be completely fanless (so

I'm always amazed about how well naive Unix solutions measure up compared to contemporary solutions. For instance, the non-indexed python solution here takes a little more time than the Unix look command (Pi 4): time pwned.sh pas

It's good we're having discussions like these. People tend to oversimplify history, so young people may end up with different ideas about how things were then than how they actually were. It's not only important to bring less

This is an excellent way to preserve classic machines. There are lots of projects out there for new PCBs, new accelerators, new replacements for Amiga custom chips and so on, just as there are new updates to AmigaDOS (up to 3.2.1, which was

Indeed. I'm running Akkoma, and it was straightforward to set up and get running, unlike Mastodon.

Cloud-based APs? Seriously? Nobody who actually takes security seriously would use cloud-based APs. Even using cloud services to download firmware updates would be shady as heck. You just made my point for me. If you have to download binary

That is absolutely the WRONG way to do this. You want people to download a shell script that then downloads another shell script, then runs that shell script via sudo? That second shell script could be changed at any time.

How does a common wireless AP have the same issues as a common consumer NAT router? Do APs have to worry about NAT state tables? Are they exposed to the Internet? Do they have to be configured to NAT/forward special edge case devices,

You know, I think there are a lot of people who completely miss one important aspect of Mastodon: while it's open source, it's EXTREMELY Linux-centric. While people have gotten it running on other platforms, it's fraught with

AWS is a cesspool. If you want to use them, accept the fact that you'll be treated similarly to all the other crap hosted on AWS. If you have a problem with that, take it up with Amazon, not with the rest of the world who are all victi

Good point about Java, even though talking to KVMs over the network and displaying a GUI isn't really hardware stuff. But I think you're forgetting how much code is written to C89. How much of bash, for instance, is ancient, with
