I see no criticism of current policies in this thread. Discussion seems to be about history, or states what the current policies are.

Since about half the country seem to want to show up, it seems reasonable and proportionate. I wouldn't have a problem with some celebrity's funeral being a huge affair either, even if I didn't care for that celebrity myself.

I don't know if you're just using rsync, but automatically syncing modifications, corruptions and deletions without any kind of retention system isn't a good idea, and your post reads like that's what you're doing

I tend to listen to the same music that I like. Additions to my regular listening collection are fairly slow. So it isn't quite the same for me. If it were the nineties, I'd buy an album every few months. I could stop paying, and

Some hosting providers have a very negative IP reputation. They seem to be unable to stop their users from sending out spam. They don't seem to react to abuse reports, let alone take action to stop abuse from their ASN generally. So I

That's great in theory. Unfortunately many legitimate sending domains are newly registered, so have no reputation. It's not possible to rely on age either: if requiring domains to be aged becomes commonplace, they're cheap en

I think a key thing is that a marketplace should be held liable if the actual seller cannot be held to account. They shouldn't be able to use "just a marketplace" as a shield to avoid liability when they're the only ones

Twitter are so hostile to casual anonymous browsing via the web that I'm not surprised DDG aren't indexing them, and actually prefer that. It's like Twitter are actively choosing to not be part of the web. But yes, I do use !

DDG is a more practical default than Google simply because I don't get a "We'd like to abuse your personal data" pop-up that gets in the way every time I open an Incognito window to search for something.

Huh? Using lxd would be identical to what you suggest (VMs on Xen) from a security upgrade and management perspective. Architecturally and operationally they're basically the equivalent, except that VMs need memory slicing up but lxd c

You could just run system containers (eg. lxd) for each component, but still on one server. That gets you multiple "servers" for the purposes of upgrades, but without the rest of the paradigm shift that Docker requires.
