  • US has been playing catch up for decades. FedNow was implemented in 2023 to allow instant P2P payments between banks thereby eliminating the need for PayPal, Cash App, Venmo, et al.

    It will take some time before we see banks make this fully available to everyone and subsequently merchants using it.

  • What is everyone’s temperature about the situation here? I have never lived in a hurricane prone area like Florida.

    If I was basing it completely on national coverage, I am getting the impression that any region in the path of the Milton will get flattened by sudden sea rise. Even the AP article paints a grim picture:

    TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — A steady rain fell in the Tampa Bay area Wednesday morning as a mighty Hurricane Milton churned toward a potentially catastrophic collision with the west coast of Florida, where some residents insisted they would stay even after millions were ordered to evacuate. Stragglers face grim odds of surviving, officials said

    However, looking into it more and trying to be less emotional. Florida’s emergency management system is issuing evacuation orders for many counties in Milton’s path. But some “inland” counties like Polk have no evacuation orders despite adjacent county, Hillsborough, having mandatory evacuation orders [1].

    Then if you navigate to the county level (ie, Hillsborough). Only specific zones were issued mandatory evacuation. At this time, residents of Hillsborough county in zones “A” and “B” (and all mobile homes) given mandatory evacuation. People in other zones advised it was optional [2].

    What did we observe with Helene? Were these local government evacuation orders completely wrong and devastated areas that previously had optional evacuation?

  • The state of SCOTUS is abhorrent. We truly are on the verge of a second Civil War. The terrorists have successfully infiltrated all levels of government. And they are not the terrorists featured on your local Fixed News affiliate. It’s your neighbors and often times rural areas.

    Democrats won the battle (ie, reclaiming presidency) but have lost the war.

  • Imagine being so poor you can’t buy the physical media, rip it to your media server, and stream at anytime.

    Lol, enjoy your shitty subpar streaming service that serves media at less than 4K while paying increasing monthly costs.

  • I have been exploring self hosting my email.

    Docker mail server for backend. Roundcube for web ui

    Still keeping accounts at mainstream providers though as backup, especially for outgoing mail.

  • I am just waiting for a malware developer or state actor to use this as a way to infect computers with 0-days.

    This is a disaster. Why anybody would decide to use Windows for any serious workloads is unfathomable to me.

    Office products are mostly cross-platform (outlook, word, excel).
