  • Couldn't agree more, but these policies exist because spammers host their own servers. Without a network of trust, you'd have to dig through a thousand of emails every day to find the one from your friend.

  • That's what I mean. You cannot host in Hetzner, for example, unless you use an outside service like SES for outgoing mail. Their IPs are globally shit listed.

    I can't think of another provider that even comes close in pricing for colo services.

  • Zero issues with Transmission. I seed way more than that. Putting it so low really indicates who put together this chart. Definitely an Ubuntu GUI-only user.

    Torrent client is supposed to handle torrents. Transmission isn't lagging behind on any protocol features. All the other (very optional) features are trivially handled by docker/podman.

  • That's a pretty good setup. I used to use Amazon SES same way, but they dropped free SES tier. Still reasonably cheap, but more than 1€/mo.

    I have to say though, having someone else take care of all updates, backups, etc is worth it for $10/year. You can also bring your own domain. Their servers are not the fastest, but that's my only real complaint with purelymail.com.

  • Purely mail.

    $10/year.

    Every provider out there encrypts mail at rest. You're exchanging emails with Gmail, Yahoo or Hotmail anyway. Pretending like your email is any safer with Proton or clones is a waste of money imho.

  • I'd argue lazy choice of wrapping your website inside chrome instead of building a native app is Slack's issue.

    I also wonder whether Slack fixed it or just waited for Google to fix it since Slack seems to only have UI designers and no actual devs on their team. They keep pumping out useless UI changes while actual bugs take years to fix.

  • I'm not sure that would work. Pipewire probably starts via system (just takes a while to become functional) and slack is started by KDE. I guess you could just add a delay to slack's start, but I just start it by hand.

  • Don't let Slack launch at startup. As long as it launches after pipewire - everything works. Your can also restart it to fix sharing issue, but that can be a birch if you already started a call.

  • On one hand I hate that legit users are punished for the actions of few cunts selling massive plex libraries and using Hetzner because of cheap storage and unlimited transfer, but I sort of understand that plex doesn't want to be associated with piracy (lol).

    On the other, fuck Plex. Seems trivial to detect these massive libraries with hundreds of "friends" and just shut those down. Seems insane to block a whole fucking provider over this. I've been a paid subscriber since day one and then bought a lifetime pass, but this dumb move is making me consider other products.

    But on third hand, I don't really care because I use tailscale so I almost never use the plex's proxy anyway.

  • True unpopular opinion over here.

    headphones are not the same.

    Correct. They are a way better option to enjoy music. Unless you're listening to it live, imnho there's no better way to enjoy music than a nice set of headphones. They are perfectly calibrated to produce sound at exactly the right location into your ears. Unless you're comparing them to hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on speakers and sound engineers, no speakers you can buy for under that even come close. That $250 garbage you're annoying your neighbors with certainly does not.

  • Cool story, but a once every 150 years pandemic is hardly a good reason to keep wasting money on storing stuff. A fire or a flood was much more likely to wipe it all out in 50 years.

    Even in your anecdote the owner never actually benefited from the extra costs.

    Depending on what you're producing costs to maintain extra inventory of raw materials can be massive and for the company the size of Toyota, multiply that by million.
