Windows: “We dropped support for that thing you bought brand new 5 years ago”

Linux: “We are considering dropping support for something that has existed for longer than you had”

ok, my age is NULL

I’m pretty sure that Lynx does not

It doesn’t make a lot of sense for LetsEncrypt to spend time adding support for such certs, since both a domain name and a cert from another CA are cheaper than buying an IPv4 block

certificates can only be obtained for domain names

That is not true, nothing prevents it on the technical side, and even some trusted CAs sell them under certain conditions

On a similar scale, but with consequences like zeroing out savings and maxing out credit cards of several dozens of millions of people or violence for political views/sexual preferences/etc on the same scale. Basically, something that will make a large number of people learn about the importance of privacy the hard way.

I wonder how a recipe to make baked beans ended up in Copilot’s training sample

Not until there is a massive data breach that leads to very serious and obvious real world consequences

I switched from GNOME 3 a long time ago, and emulating GNOME’s workflow would be the last thing I would want

I think it was in UCEPROTECT-Level2 or UCEPROTECT-Level3 a couple of times, but it wasn’t an issue because these are a subnet and ASN level blacklists that offer paid “whitelisting”, so no sane person uses these abominations anyway. My emails can sometimes end up in a Spam folder for whatever reason, but I don’t recall ever having them completely bounced.

It’s just not something you want to deal with because you’ll spend hours dealing with blacklists, spam, government requests and other BS.

What should I do to get all these? Am I hosting my mail server in a wrong way?

Defederating just for the sake of defederating is, of course, something extraordinary. But having a reason to defederate != having legitimate reason to defederate. After all, instance admins are not almighty gods with infallible moral compasses, they are just humans.

Then we need enough communities and users outside of big player instances. The power is in our own hands.

Also, if they still do implement whitelists and make an application process more than just asking nicely, refer to my previous comment.

Could also just buy a cheap VPS and just use that for just the Lemmy instance so I wouldn’t need a VPN

You can rent a VPS and host VPN on it

If they would go as far as to defederate with your specific instance, you should seriously reconsider whether their instance or their community actually have any value to you

those who do not want to pay for the time, effort and resources going into RHEL

Standard RHEL server subscription costs 800$/year, a ridiculous price for an individual to pay (yeah I know it’s called Enterprise Linux, but still)

those who want to repackage it for their own profit

Funny considering that AlmaLinux OS Foundation is a non-profit

The developer subscription provides no-cost RHEL to developers and enables usage for up to 16 systems, again, at no-cost

Until RedHat decides to pull the rug, just like it already did with CentOS

Also:

The first thing to understand is that you cannot renew your no-cost Red Hat Developer Subscription for individuals after the first year. Unlike a paid subscription, the no-cost edition for developers is limited to one year.

So, what’s a developer to do? Fortunately, that’s easy: You can just register again. Yes, it’s that simple. Once your developer subscription expires, simply re-register and get a new, no-cost subscription. Note that you must wait until your current subscription expires before you can renew it.

Simply rebuilding code, without adding value or changing it in any way

Yeah, I think setting up build and distribution infrastructure is not adding any value

so they can’t bork their system

not tech savy people: you underestimate my power

what if there’s a nipple, and cum is still on its way in the air?

Going through suggested lists I can count the instances that have the reason “spam” on my fingers, doesn’t seem to be actually useful (or intended to be) against spam
