I wonder what the response would be if, in return for the IP and other user info, the IP and user info of the employees, including (most definitely including) their managers up to the boss (basically everyone involved at said company), were

I wonder if the comments saying Amazon is terrible for shopping is due to the same ppl browsing Amazon, rather than actually shopping for the one or two things they need? I've never had a problem finding what I want in my searches. I a

One problem with the experiment mentioned at the beginning of the article is that the participants still knew that a drug was being administered, which by itself would be enough to precipitate a reaction. Another aspect that I'd be cur

So where is gHeadphone on this? I'd like to read why they shared this. The writer though may actually be less egotistical than it seems. By the end of post they are saying that their ability to not believe a good sounding argument is e

You think this is bad? Imagine having three names; you go by the 3rd, but always get addressed with the first. The first - WALTER.

This really isn’t so different from work in other places. That said, I think one reason why this person keeps at it is the profound inner sense of accomplishment of being able to thrive in a totally different culture, country, and language.

This is true... I still often don't know if instructions for entering data should include the "" or the <>...sometimes they seem to, often not. But seeing a screenshot would help.

Up in parts of Canada the restaurant that also served gas was Husky. If you needed gas, you'd say you're going to get gas, or go gas up. If you said let's go to the Husky, you meant let's go eat! No one ever went "t

I really enjoyed the shock of seeing future Thor smack into the invisible barrier - his determination, the crescendoing music, the hope that _finally_ someone is going to do something... Splat.

What the post implies about the article (which I haven't read) is that in some measurable way this increased attention results in children growing into functioning, balanced, effective, productive, balanced, adults whose presence and e

I've met lots of Egyptians in my life, but I've never met anyone from any countries that might claim to use classical Arabic. So if this is for non-Arab world Learners, I imagine that learning the dialect most likely to be encount

These are all the exact reasons to do it! -the more of us who won't sign up because they won't take our domain-bsased email the quicker they will see these failed sign-ups and the reason, and adjust. - hmm. Let the account go dead

I once flew to Ft St John from Vancouver then hitched to Liard Hot Springs Park where I camped the night in -36C, then hitched to Whitehorse where I worked for a few months, then realized that if I was going to see the Arctic before I had t

I use several of these options (cloudron, caprover, easypanel, yunohost) because one of them has an app that the others don't. Umbrel has let me get a Nostr account and relay up and running, for example.

It is similiar to Mastodon in that most users (from my impression) still sign up at a main host, or instance, trusting that their sign-up data is secure (the important thing are keys which are generated upon sign-up). Once that initial acco

I am happy see Kazak included, even if it is at the very end. Some of these Central Asian languages which use a modified Arabic/Persian script keep getting overlooked by font foundries - there are some absolutely beautiful RTL fonts ou

Self-host is the right term. They install and host their OS or software themselves on a VPS, NOT a homeserver or VM. Until they set it up, there is no "cloud". "Cloud" IS a service, OS, etc that someone else set up and w

If it's managed, isn't it their mail server? I mean, I can use my own domain and such, but as posters above said, "data independence" is important.

Without a tech stack it is impossible to self-host email, so, it is the hard part. Just this week I had huge problems with an expected email not reaching either of my gmail or outlook inboxes. It just never came, despite the sender insistin

Well, we do it for the IPv4 address since most home internet is inaccessible outside of the physical home. Plus, even though the data is on someone else's machine, having it "out there" helps us feel interconnected.

I was a micro-entrepeneur, or auto-entrepeneur, in France, and unsolicited calls and messages started the very next day I registered. Don't ask me the about the email spam.
