Not saying every hoster I've used has been great but no, never fell under the influence of bluehost and the like.
-
(Quote) Hell no; there are plenty of stupidly cheap hosters that aren't maliciously incompetent :-)
-
(Quote) Given that I have it as primarily as an off-network backup that is definitely the direction I hoped you meant :-)
-
(Quote) So Singapore remains on your own kit?

That's still not 75% - your subject line is clickbait.
-
Yeah I'm sure the 2GB VPS with 25 IP is only generating completely legitimate email.
-
(Quote) Has it occurred to you that maybe you are AI?

3.3EUR hourly?!

I think you'll find that opening a Paypal dispute because you can't be bothered to read documentation falls rather neatly into "fraud" - especially given that it means you've lied to Paypal during the process of opening said dispute. Rega…

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.
