That’s what you are paying for. You can’t really scrape email addresses. So that database is marketing data that is bought and sold.

I own my own domain. I have email hooked up to that domain. I’m the only user on my domain. ALL email addresses get forwarded to me. [email protected] would show up in my email box.

Corporations also get every email address for their domain. They don’t broadcast valid email addresses. Typically they receive a valid one, and forward it to the proper person inside their org. Or if invalid, they will discard it. Some places will return a response saying that’s not a valid email, but most people stopped doing that. One because it costs money, and two it’s actually a security hole. You could theoretically brute-force valid email addresses of top executives, or anyone.

Instead websites gather lists of addresses by means of new accounts, and sell that data to these companies, who sell it to people who want it.

Join a convent/monastary and spend your life in seclusion and take up an oath of silence. Or at least let people assume you took the oath and just not talk to anybody. Spend time ‘meditating’.

Lake is what I’d imaging Hallmark would create if they decided to make a choose your own adventure videogame.

It was probably on AWS

Yea, but I’m pretty sure that’s exactly what they were trying to make. Good action fighting scenes held loosely together by low effort excuses disguised as plot. And based on how much money the movies made, it’s hard to blame them for their decisions.

Oh, the movies have a TON of plot holes in them. But if you enjoy reading, the original trilogy is amazing. Half the reason those plot holes exist is they removed Carlos. He’s the bad guy and the entire reason everything is happening.

Did you create your own docker container, or did you use the official one?

I have the official one up and running, voice and video chat work out of the box.

And potentially make them better too. Maybe a generic wireless driver that works on almost all phones (even if slow), or it’s not uncommon for the industry to gatekeep features to newer models. OSS would likely get those features running on old hardware anyway.

That’s not even mentioning the spyware and AI garbage baked into everything. Or nerfing cpu/battery performance on devices for planned obsolescence.

Similarly - Edge of Tomorrow Emily Blunt is skilled and trains Tom Cruise until he’s competent enough to save the world. By the end they’re both extremely competent. Only reason Tom Cruise saves the world and not her is due to the timeloops. She’d already done it once.

100% silicone. Some drains are installed with just silicone caulk keeping them sealed.

My kids use it almost daily. Really only breaks for special events. Otherwise an update fixes all other issues.

Looks like most of their services are also foss. Says their cloud service is powered by nextcloud, and pad is powered by Etherpad, upload by Lufi, etc. So, OP could probably just self-host most of these really easily. Hardest one would probably be email. That’s a whole 'nother beast for most. Especially since most residential IPs are blacklisted. You almoat always need to cloud-host that.

My cloud-hosting knowledge is a bit dated, bit I bet there are webhosting places that do the email bit for you, you juat pay the monthly fee to use their auto-gen instance of mailcow or whatever.

Boot into a live usb. They’re great for debugging stuff like this and giving you some clues.

If it works, it’s not a hardware or windows issue. If it doesn’t, it might be.

Good people don’t want the power. They want a nice easy peaceful life surrounded by loved ones. The assholes strive for power and authority. A few good people try to make a difference.

Even if you tried to make a legislature out of regular citizens forced to do the work like jury duty, it would get twisted and regulated like current jury duty.

The communism ideals are great. Problem is, they historically fail when put into practice. Funny thing, it’s because of power hungry assholes. That same reason is why democracies fail, why republics fail, why monarchies fail, why theocracies fail and so on.

If only there were a pattern here that we could learn from. One person with too much power and eventually, you’ll get an asshole so mad with power they bring the whole system down and we have to start over.

The more parties, check, balances, laws, and red tape, and the like help stave it off for longer, but nothing lasts forever. There is no perfect system that can’t be undone by assholes.

Fight it as long as I can with my current fairly new phone. I assume that update by google would require an OS update, not a google play update. I might just not update my OS until I get a new phone.

If I’m lucky I won’t need to update for a few years and an awesome linux phone will be available. If not then some de-googled android phone.

Ahahahaha I think I prefer your imagery.

Worked with a lot of people from India. I’m guessing it’s from one of the many Hindu sub-religions (is that the proper term?). They worship a lot of different gods in different ways. Though some were Muslim and did call to prayer in the afternoons. Noticed some would slide the shoe and sock off and wipe down the bottoms of their feet after washing their hands. Others didn’t go quite that far and would more touch the bottoms of their socked heels with a damp hand. I presume a more symbolic gesture than anything. Which is why I also assume it’s religious and not for hygiene.

It was only a few from hundreds that I saw this behavior from.

Wasn’t super crazy as the washing of hands and feet is also symbolic in Christianity as well.

Or just buy shares of VPN companies and then pay lawmakers to pass laws banning porn.

Did you know that Elvis’s manager sold buttons that said ‘I Hate Elvis’. Gotta play both sides.
