I’ve been using CloudFlare for my DNS registration. They’re incredibly cheap (I think they sell at or near wholesale rates).

For hosting, I tend to use Dreamhost. I think that it’s about $100/yr, with unlimited email inboxes, unlimited bandwidth (no porn or video hosting, or other things like that in the TOS).

Personally, I use Fastmail for my email (and CloudFlare’s email forwarding to forward to it), although Proton is pretty good to look at as well.

And I’ve got an ice maker and a bottle of Johnny Walker Black Label. Who needs the expense and time of a commute when their perk is right downstairs for me?

A lot of the mods for big providers like FB require counseling after the horrible crap they see (not just CSAM, but also terrible things like animal abuse and mutilation, etc). Unfortunately, the big companies have outsourced much of it to other countries where there aren’t as many worker protections, traumatizing people and replacing them when they can’t meet some arbitrary metric.

The ability to see up sieve filtering is great too. I’ve got a massive script that automatically sorts and files away most of my emails.

I want to like Proton Mail, but their sieve filtering kind of sucks, and with large mailboxes it slows down to an almost unusable amount.

Fastmail is awesome. If you want to set it up as receive only, you can set up CloudFlare email forwarding for free and have it forward to your regular account.

I’m a big fan of Logseq. I use Syncthing to sync a folder between my desktop and phone and it works great. Tagging, everything is in markdown, and it’s easy to navigate around.

I live in the SW US. We could probably provide power for most of the US with all the sun we get here and all the empty space without much of a hassle. The great thing is that it would likely be far less expensive than a good number of the alternatives.

Big brain time - research where the new shoreline will be with sea rise and buy the land all around there. Wait a few years and boom - beachfront property.

Agent Smith was right.

Lemmy.world had to start using CloudFlare because some script kiddies were DDOSing it. Some people were complaining that it encourages centralization, etc.

Personally, I love it. The service you get even at the lowest level of payment ($20/mo) is great. And what you get for free can’t be compared.

It looks like it scans and flags on the outbound (user download of the image), so as long as it sits in front of your instance, it should work just fine.

You’re still responsible for removing the material, complying with any preservation requirements, and any other legal obligations, and notifying CloudFlare that it’s been removed.

It would be ideal if it could block on upload, so the material never makes it to your instance, but that would likely be something else like integration with PhotoDNA or something similar.

I know that people like to dump on Cloudflare, but it’s incredibly easy to enable a built-in CSAM scanner with CloudFlare.

On that note, I’d like to see built-in moderation tools using something like PDQ and TMK+PDQF and a shared hashtable of CSAM and other material that may be outlawed or desirable to filter out in different regions (e.g. terrorist content, Nazi content in Germany, etc.)

As much as I dislike Oracle, they’ve been pretty good stewards of the Java open source project, and haven’t had any issues with anyone else rebadging the JDK, whether it be Zulu, BellSoft, Amazon, Microsoft, SAP, IBM, etc.

If anything, I’d like to see them put their money where their mouth is and hire Linux devs to continue Oracle Linux in an open manner.

XHTML 1.1 is much more elegant than HTML 2

The ability to insert flow charts on the go with the draw.io integration built in is amazing for technical documentation.

Joplin is nice, but I’ve grown to love Logseq for my notes.

In that vein, Dendron in VS Code or VSCodium is equally amazing.

Can you post them? Name and shame.

Same here. Jeroba would randomly crash. Connect hasn’t yet.

Sometimes I’ll do this when I can find root vegetables on sale. Roasted carrots, parsnips, celery root, fennel, turnips, etc is a great option.
