That would kneecap public access to anything. Their API is what runs their site, requiring auth for everything would essentially break Reddit for anyone not logged in.

That would kill new accounts. No one would know what was being talked about before onboarding, but without that information, what would their motivation be for onboarding?

To be clear, it says they clarify what content is non-public. They aren’t saying all content is non-public.

The flaw in this logic: We had memes over on reddit. Why are you posting memes here? If you want to post memes, you should go back to reddit.

This isn’t universal, and any client can implement it if they really wanted to.

The one good thing about karma was the ability to quickly tell who was likely around just to fuck with people. If you peek at their profile and see -100 karma, you know they are just a troll and can be ignored.

Other than that, yeah the system was pointless beyond “look at me my number is bigger”

?? Your solution to dynamic dns is to run all the traffic through a static IP vps? Are you paying for this VPS, or are you saying you trust the host more than you trust cloudflare, because they give you a free VPS?

… what?

Them: “I want a centralized place to handle all my graphics stuff, so I can access graphically intensive things from any device.”

You: “Must be incest renders because you already have hardware and say you use it for work.”

So according to you, contractors don’t exist, iPhones can play PC games, and anyone wanting to split PC resources between multiple use cases is shady.

What’s ridiculous is that you seem to think extreme paranoia is a normal thing in everyday life.

Most people are under the impression that their IP being public is somehow super dangerous, and that “hackers will attack me” if it ever gets out. So likely “all the attacks against my entire network.”

Edit: Secondary thought, they legitimately have unsecured endpoints on their IP, and are hoping no one will notice if they aren’t handing out their IP to others. Still incorrect though.

If it wasn’t for this comment, I’d have moved on never knowing what it is for. I’m not going to dig my way across the internet to figure out what something is, if it’s worth looking at someone will actually say what it is and what it does.

You clearly don’t understand what’s going on.

To be fair, last update isn’t the end all be all. If the project is in a stable place, and there haven’t been any breaking changes, there’s just no need to update.

If you’re only exposing your services through a cloudflare tunnel, it doesn’t even matter if they get your real IP.

That was my thought process when I got it, and it was only $99 when I purchased. As long as the host (one man show unfortunately) remains, I’ve got a reliable email system in place. And he does an amazing job of keeping off spam lists.

https://mxroute.com/ currently offers “lifetime” with 10GB combined storage, unlimited mailboxes, unlimited domains, for $129. I bought it a year or so back, no complaints.

No, you’re right that it’s extremely complicated. But the complexity doesn’t come from the base rates. You’re likely thinking of the process as a whole instead of the starting point.

I mean, that’s essentially what our taxes are. Things vary based on tax brackets, state, dependents/spouses, and total earnings of course, but we all have a base tax.

The hard part of taxes is usually deductions, or when you start having things like investments or small businesses.

Purely for storage, no processing? I just finally got around to checking pricing and went with Backblaze B2. Not certain it’s the best, or cheapest, but I’m serving files out of it through cloudflare and it seemed to be a decent choice.

Wait, your argument is that these things are so inaccurate that within stabbing distance they still miss their target?

What level of accuracy do you need when you’re within a few feet?

Leave your beef out on the counter for a day and I assure you, the expiration date will be useless.

Expiration dates are 99/100 times a baseline for guessing if an item is safe to consume. If you’re not using your brain and actually checking, you’re gonna have a bad time.

When you’re shipping one item, sure… kinda. When you’re shipping five, it doesn’t make sense to tape the exact same thing to every single one. Especially if the paper is bigger than the item.

We typically affix it to the invoice and package so it’s seen first thing. That’s the best solution we’ve come up with.
