(Quote) Here's hoping. It's regrettable that they've chosen to start their time here with such blatant attempts to game the system, instead of engaging meaningfully and building up their (very modest) post requirements that way. Their opening offer…
-
(Quote) FWIW I hope you reconsider; don't take a few squeaky wheels as speaking for "the community", we're better off with you than without!
-
(Quote) Possibly, but it's quickly reached the point of just posting screenshots from OGF that anyone who actually cares about the drama could just go and read. I guess it's just a way for Tree to get to join in /shrug
-
(Quote) So your whole use case is based around evading bans for - at best - dubious behaviour? (also, given that people are happy to block whole countries, why do you imagine they won't also block some random US state?)
-
Ah, my dear student, your analogy of proxy servers to bridges is indeed quite apt, though it might be enriched with a touch more sophistication. You are correct in stating that proxy servers are not impervious to hacking. The security of a proxy se…
-
(Quote) To be fair, that's a pretty normal arrangement (I think MyCo's "share capital" is a princely £4)
-
(Quote) But... if Google and friends wanted to do it, why would a French court waste the time ordering them to do it? I mean you don't see court orders telling McD's to sell fries.
-
(Quote) Which this story has nothing to do with. It's not something the evil mega-corps are deciding to do, it's something imposed by government.
-
I genuinely cannot imagine a domain being $1k-worth of interesting, even if you manage to dodge being scammed...
-
(Quote) That says "Google Workspace Business Starter", which is something they grudging allowed some people to upgrade to for free at one point - although they didn't exactly go out of their way to tell anyone. Given their track record, t…

Depends what you rely on CF for; I use it as a free caching CDN that has the fringe benefit of proxying old-net to my IPv6-only sites. All of that is pretty trivially transferable (and this might be the time to start looking into that...) Sure, if …
-
(Quote) Some folk either dislike Cloudflare as a company (for various policy reasons) or just don't like contributing to the centralisation of the web (look how much of the web goes offline when CF has a bad day). I'm pretty neutral on it, but if i…

(Quote) From the sounds of it, Virmach has been driving aimlessly around the world's DCs, so maybe he doesn't have roaming on his phone? :)
-
(Quote) Indeed; my main production stuff was v6-only for the last few years. The idea that v6 is somehow tricky or complicated is just absurd.
-
(Quote) Eloped with Virmach.
-
(Quote) Having used both over the years, the different to your average user between DA and cPanel is ... minimal.
-
(Quote) Doesn't Gmail expect DMARC these days?
-
(Quote) Well, second best maybe... ;-) (Spoiler)
-
(Quote) Yeah, it was too special to resist.
-
(Quote) I wouldn't worry too much about it; Pis are pretty good at throttling themselves before they actually do any damage (to themselves; they might still set fire to your bench)
-
(Quote) Or just netboot the Pi. Problem solved (although you do then need a server to netboot it off...)
-
(Quote) Rock solid, fast - been slowly shifting sites from various places and it's all good. Now if Fran can stop fiddling with cPanel tools long enough to sort out IPv6, it'll be perfect :-)

Grab a basic shared hosting from anyone (NameCrane have UK and EU locations, and would be my go to these days) and just ignore the hosting bits you don't want? :-)
-
(Quote) I have to admit, I read it as something more like "that's a rec(ommendation)" and didn't take in that it was an affiliate link. Then again, I just hovered over it, saw Serverica's name and went straight there (sorry!) so it all wor…
-
(Quote) Cheers; that was the name lurking at the back of my mind that I couldn't quite remember!
-
(Quote) Yes, I've seen that (and it was one of the things that poked me back into looking at backup options), but ... there might be other options? If I just meant "I'm too dumb to read a thread on the front page", I'd have said that ;-)
-
(Quote) Well how else do you log into your MUD?!
-
(Quote) I stand corrected, but I still say it's a crazy way to go.
-
(Quote) Nobody remotely sane is selling shared hosting out of a VPS. Just grab a cheap dedi if you're eager to start out low end DIY, or a decent reseller if you just want to get going.
