Talk about exactly what you did to bypass it!

They’re likely not fake; odds are there are loads of people who will buy this product and never have an issue. The problem is that some small percentage will experience catastrophic loss, and who wants to roll those dice?

At what level do ISPs control ports?

I’m aware most ISPs do not allow for port 25 to be open for email use outside of business licenses, but at what level is that controlled? Can I get around that by owning my own router? Owning my own modem or ONT? Or is this just a thing they mystically control further up the pipeline that a relative layman such as myself...

I’ve been running my own mail server using Mail-in-a-box on a digitalocean VPS for about 10 years. I also pay for an external SMTP relay service because I still get randomly blocked by Google/Microsoft/whatever just by virtue of having a digitalocean IP.

Total cost is $15/mo for the VPS and $50/yr for the relay service.

I’ve been running my own mail server since ~2002. For many years I was using qmail, of all things, on a home ISP connection. I wrote a semi-popular guide on adding spamassassin support to qmail. I was a true believer!

When hosting email from consumer internet became untenable, I migrated to digitalocean and Mail-in-a-box. To be honest, it’s worth the $15 to have a 100% always-on device hosting the email. I host lots of other stuff at home and having email be a separate thing makes it much easier.

I’m not in any way de-Googled, but I’m an old person who just wants to watch the occasional youtube link without all of the extra bullshit, and newpipe is perfect for that. Not having subscriptions or being able to login to my Google account is absolutely a feature, not a bug.

Also, quick plug for NewPipe x SponsorBlock which can be added to F-Droid (I’ve since switched to Obtanium for it)

In my opinion, single player games without a pause function are disrespectful to the player and I’m not going to reward them with money.

“But my game is hard! You should never be able to feel safe! Not even to pause! Because it’s hard!”

Yes, well, sometimes I have to use the toilet.

I never thought “being able to pause the game” would be on a list of deal breakers for me, but here we are.

Would beeper give me access to iMessage without having an iDevice?

The short story in the form of a wiki entry MMAcevedo seems apropos to this conversation, especially the fictional uploader’s opinions on it:

Acevedo indicated that being uploaded had been the greatest mistake of his life

Unless you’re printing in color every day, you are absolutely better off getting a black & white laser and having the color prints done at a print shop.
