If there’s no more karma… are they just a slut?

It’s not as detectable as you think. One of the major things most VPS companies tout, is that the data is fully encrypted and private. So they aren’t scanning the files, or the running processes, or anything else about what is being done with the server.

So unless something external to the company is provided, which acts as proof, they won’t shut things down.

I mean no offense, but this sounds like such a niche workflow this xkcd applies: https://xkcd.com/1172/

It’s all but against the law in Florida (maybe other states as well?) to teach that aspect of history. Wouldn’t want the white kids to feel guilty for being white… because they know about things that happened in the past.

CP is the second reason the name is terrible. “Let me connect to your CP server” is going to get so many people onto so many lists, unless they specify CP == CrackPipe.

There are just some names and abbreviations you do not use. And this is both of those.

For god sakes, change the damn name.

Yes. Just keep in mind that will likely break licensing for virtually any game you’ve legally purchased.

Er, people absolutely do enter through non-checkpoints. And it is a crime, though IIRC it’s a misdemeanor. At least argue in good faith.

Unless I am mistaken, when the instance you sign up with dies, so does your account? Obviously your content and potentially profile will exist in some state, but you would no longer be able to authenticate, so for all intents and purposes your account is gone.

While that won’t matter for some, for others that means there is some importance in the decision of where you create your account. Since, once that instance decides to shut down (or if it happens to defederate,) your account goes with it.

Not that crazy. I think I’m sitting at 23.5%?

Alexas phone home… a lot. My TV does the same. As do many random devices in my network.

I have IoT devices that would love to phone home but I’m controlling them locally so have disallowed them connecting to the internet.

It adds up quickly.

I think the part that’s missing is that this advice is related to companies, not in general. If the company is making a profit, and not asking you to pay, where is the money coming from?

You have no idea.

I honestly don’t think so. Private universities are already more expensive, why would they care if that gap widened more?

I don’t really think anyone in the government has a good solution for this, do they?

Remove the available money? Only the rich go to college. Add more money? The prices go up.

You could try regulating it, but then you just get colleges that refuse to accept government money, while simultaneously asking for the same amount.

I’m sure someone has a solution that would work, but it’s not anyone with the power to implement it, that’s for sure.

How’d you manage to get the pricing? VPN?
