Hardly surprising since they were acquired by Google.

The rubber on mine turned sticky and I got rid of it. It was nasty to touch. I’d get another if it was a different material. Ended up with a G903 but not keen and want something new after just a year.

I do hope so. Temporary things have a stickiness that makes them semi-permanent. May as well go with 418 then :o)

CP is something that’s prevented me from hosting imaging solutions in the past, out of risk-avoidance so I’ve given it a lot of thought over the years. The lack of support from Cloudflare hasn’t helped, and making it USA-only weakens it as a general solution. That said, I’ll still run some sites via Cloudflare because I’m certain it tracks the content regardless without the mandate to enforce or alert, and that tracking may help lead to the original source [pure opinion here with hard facts, but I use CF for other reasons].

Now that I want to host fediverse things safely, it’s still a concern. I’m not in the US, I’m in the UK and host in Canada. Doesn’t matter greatly. They’d still take all my equipment while they investigate IF they had sufficient evidence to charge. But they WON’T because the CP is attributable to someone else. The main takeaway from all of this, for me, is to NEVER take backups of actual content, only settings/accounts. Holding archives is dangerous because only I would have access to their contents.

Defederate aggressively, block paths as needed, keep logs, don’t run it from home, etc etc. Keeping records gets most folk out of sticky legal situations.

451 or 403 would be more appropriate as it’s not available for legal reasons. 410 Gone would also fit well if it’s a permanent block. I’d steer clear of 5xx server side because it encourages retry-later. The client has requested something not served, firmly placing it into the 4xx category. The other problem with 503 in particular is that it indicates server overload, falsely in the case of a path ban.

I know I’m probably in the minority here but… I’m a desk jockey.

I don’t use Lemmy on a handheld. I didn’t use Reddit that way either. The web interface works well enough for me, or rather whatever lemmy.ca uses is good when set to vaporwave-light. Try the different themes, some are better than others.

The pagination though… it’s a little short for my taste but I prefer it over doomscrolling.

I use Ansible, Docker, and Emacs OrgMode files committed to Git. Diagrams are a mix of Miro and Graphviz. There’s also a few markdowns in there too. Joplin is used for rough notes only.

I run Chrome to use work (Google) email and services, and Firefox for as much as possible. The challenge is that about a 10% of things I use only work properly on Chrome. It’s IE6 all over again, history repeating itself.

Register your own domain name with Gandi and they gift you free email with a choice of two webmail interfaces. It’s really good, and owning the domain name enables moving to a different provider later if you wish.
