I smell a new wannabe host

(Quote) That's down to your mail client.

So not just an attempt to get around filters blocking your company when you spell 'pawn' correctly, then? :lol:

Mythic Beasts did an interesting write up about it - https://www.mythic-beasts.com/blog/2025/04/01/abusive-ai-web-crawlers-get-off-my-lawn/

I'm still unclear how producing content in a less consumable form "shows customers you're proactive" rather than just showing them you're hopping on this week's bandwagon, but I guess we'll agree to disagree.

(Quote) Systemd completely throws away the Unix "do one thing well" principle. (although this is probably not the time for that argument!)
-
(Quote) YT shorts are still video. I know literally nobody who has ever said "oh good, this simple technical question has been answered in a video instead of boring old text". Video is an awesome medium for the right content. It's a trash…
-
Why on earth would you want to distribute "best practices" via videos instead of, you know, words? Damn kids... For bonus points, what exactly is "cloud hosting" and how is it different from "hosting"?
-
(Quote) Maybe they put the 12 for Debian 12 in the wrong box? :lol:
-
Yeah it looks like MXRoute really doesn't like your emails, so I've no idea what state that order is now :lol:
-
It is just Tor exits you prohibit, or relays as well? (I suspect I know the answer but I'm hoping for a more charitable reading of your ToS :lol: )
-
A data breach is annoying, but it can happen to anyone. What defines a company is how they respond to it. ColonCrossing have pretty much lied from the start, still haven't actually bothered notifying everyone whose personal data was lost, and the f…

Not sure any of those are LLMs (which was, I thought, the topic). And let's be honest, they were labelled 'expert systems' a decade ago, and only got rebranded as "AI Inside!" when it became the new sexy. (that also reads like LLM output…
-
They claim a theoretical operating profit, which is both a dubious claim in itself and ignores virtually all costs so ... yeah, it's mostly marketing bull to back up the assertion that their models are cheaper to run.
-
(Quote) Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I'm not aware of any AI outfit actually generating anything that could be called 'profit'. Right now it's just a bunch of techbros throwing money at it and hoping it becomes profitable.
-
(Quote) You have DKIM entries for each, using a different selector (from memory, mxroute always uses 'x', namecrane uses a random one so there's no overlap)
-
(Quote) Presumably next week they're reinstating the 18th amendment...
-
(Quote) I can't speak for the whole EU but the places I've been in living memory - Spain, France, Italy, Malta - are all very happy to take cash. Event event they do have electricity ;-)
-
More likely that a frequency variation elsewhere in the system caused PV to drop off grid, which caused a cascade. There's nothing intrinsically unstable about PV, but it does take more active management than old fashioned coal. A lot of old grids …

Power was out for about an hour in San Sebastian, mobile was spotty for a little while after but been fine since. Sounds like we got off lightly.
-
(Quote) I'm assuming the ban was (at least partially) for paying people to leave 5* TrustPilot reviews, more than specific on-forum misbehaviour.
-
edit: probably not worth this argument, ignore!
-
Sure, but especially in the low end hosting market you will get found out and linked to your previous trainwreck, and your reputation will be far more tainted than if you tried to fix what was broken instead of running away and reappearing wearing a…

(Quote) Price it low enough and I'm sure people will get over their prejudice :-)
-
Thunderbird has it all locally, and those files end up in regular backups. For new or unproven providers, I also have a spare MXRoute account that it gets imapsync'd to :-)
-
(Quote) To that last point, there's a checkbox in MXroute to tell it not to try delivering it locally which solves that.
-
Option 4 is the most painless path - it's a fairly common use case, you can handle inbound through mailcow or whatever current setup you have, and use 1PM/MXR for outbound SMTP.
-
To be fair, if your upstream provider changes their terms, you're pretty much stuck with it. (and explicitly banning a service that exists to spew out AI spam which was already breaking terms doesn't seem that egregious)
-
(Quote) I mean I really don't need a MyW replacement, but a discounted Entry Reseller would be virtually impossible to resist. Just sayin'... :-)
-
(Quote) It's a steal - if I didn't have absolutely no need for it I'd be all over it :-)

I mean triennial is close enough to lifetime...
