From what are you protecting yourself? Piracy? Then go with a VPN that has been tested in court and didn’t turn over any logs. The second one of these providers turns over their logs in court they are out of business because no one will ever trust them again. That’s all you really need for the seven seas.

Can the NSA see what you’re doing? Who cares. If they can, they aren’t revealing that to help anyone in a civil case.

Did this motherfucker just respond by chiding someone else for not following “proper journalistic practices” after completely fucking burying a company without reaching out to them about their prototype product?

I’m going to assume it’s because of the shitshow that was the OJ trial.

Eh. I’m a lawyer. I wouldn’t be afraid of the civil risk unless I was accepting donations. Suing regular people isn’t really a profitable endeavor. I’m more concerned about paying for the hosting and being subscribed to enough of the fediverse to have a representative instance.

Almost certainly not as my next PC was a Gateway 2000.

Sir, I’ll have you know that I had an IBM PS/2 Model 25 with 256 glorious colors in MCGA. And fuck every developer that didn’t support MCGA, because it dropped down to 4 color CGA if not. No support for EGA.

Ah yes, I can’t wait to be notified of Robert’); DROP TABLE Students;-- nickname.

He probably earned his JD as there is very rarely any graded homework in law school. Exams constitute practically all of your grades. Plagiarism should have kept him out, but he likely survived on his own.

Indeed, but it’s included with Office 365 and there’s a handy join button within Outlook that keeps me coming back for more.

This motherfucker drops bombs where he is told. The person you need to worry about is the guy who tells him where to drop the bombs.

I believe it’s SMS and SOS only through the messenger app. You have to subscribe through the app during signup for a a certain number of messages during subscription.

I assume the cost was of Unix and not Linux.

It has been suggested by some that there is no relationship between Reiser murdering wives and ReiserFS murdering file systems, but most steer clear of both out of an abundance of caution.

Does anyone have a sense as to how the underlying hardware compares to Digital Ocean, Vultr, etc? I saw reference to fairly old Xeons, but I’m not sure if others in the same space are using similar hardware.

This stupid fucker voted twice in person in the same election. There’s no way to view that as an accident. He actually requested an absentee ballot be sent to Virginia, didn’t get it, and then drove down to Florida to vote after he had already voted in person in Ohio.

And the cost of storage? I get that the load is balanced, in a sense, but it still seems as though there will be significant costs if each server is going to keep all the posts that have been federated to. And the traffic itself just to remain in sync could also be fairly dramatic if we get to the size of Reddit. Unless I’m missing something about the technology, which could very well be true.

I’m not really sure how this is supposed to work long-term, then. I can’t imagine anyone wants to be on an instance with only a fraction of the content available. It makes perfect sense when subscribing, but surfing All loses its appeal. I understand the challenges, but I hope there’s a creative solution at some point. It seems like folks will gravitate to the instances with the most stability and users.

So let’s say I’m on lemm.ee and I decide that I want to see “All.” Does that mean I’m only seeing what other users on lemm.ee are subscribed to?
