>Windows 95, 98 and XP were like that, no? I'm not sure that being on par with a 30-year old operating system is much of an accolade. Windows sucked back then, it's just that it sucked less than DOS.

I think you're dramatically overestimating the percentage of US voters who give a flying shit about Assange.

Neither seems realistic or achievable, except the latter by nuclear armageddon.

In my area, internet and energy are insanely expensive and that means I'm not at all willing to share my precious bandwidth or compute just to subsidize someone generating Rule 34 porn of their favorite anime character. I don't se

Looking at the MSDN docs I don't believe this is true. Can you point to something showing it doesn't work on modern windows? My only windows box is in an actual physical box right now and I cannot verify.

A lot of the maneuvers in Band of Brothers are realistic, especially the one where Speirs assaults the gun emplacements.

It's an open secret in the aviation community that large numbers of aging boomers are medically unfit to fly but are able to maintain their medicals, for a variety of reasons.

If you need a third party to deliver your mail on your behalf, are you really self hosting? What's the point? At that stage you've already conceded the deliverability problem so now you're just wasting time administrating do

It kinda does, though. It's why I stopped self-hosting. I bet if you emailed my gmail address it wouldn't come through, even through no fault of your own. You can have DMARC, SPF and DKIM all correctly configured on a clean IP a

The act of hosting postfix/dovecot is not in itself difficult. Debugging deliverability issues is, though. And it's time-consuming.

That too, but GA pilots are notorious for overestimating their competence. The Dunning-Kruger effect is real. Doing touch-and-gos a few times a month in a C172 does not prepare one for handling high-performance fighter aircraft. I used to

Well, the reason is that the vast majority of GA pilots could not handle the performance of a WWII fighter and would get themselves and others killed.

Modern maintenance would be fine; just expensive. The problem with old warbirds is they're usually maintained by volunteers who cut corners.

Pretty cool, I guess, but that puny Rotax under the engine cowling pales in comparison to the V-1650's that powered the real deal Mustangs which ran at almost 10x the horsepower and double the cruise speed, 50% better climb speed despi
