Yeah, I was a bit taken back by it. I thought I was being cordial enough with emma, especially since her and I had communicated offsite before and she was polite and helpful.
I still stand by what I said though. I don't have to agree with someone to understand that they have rights that are important.

reloading is a great idea, however, really hard to find primers right now.

It's funny because my Grandfather was a 3D printer before he passed he had a couple printers that I know of one being a Anycubic Predator and a Ender 3, he printed so much stuff and uploaded his work onto Thingiverse and made YouTube videos of his prints.
He passed some months back and seeing this just made me smile as it's cool to see.

yea, it's super awesome. the mail in a box seems really legit, as far as i've been able to tell. for a personal server it is super adequate.

Tricky! I think I'd do my steganography in images like everyone else. ("Steghide", etc.)

So you said:
I'd just as happily allow an antifa forum just as I would a proudboys forum. They both deserve a safe platform for discussion as far as I'm concerned.
And then this "ziq" fellow, an admin, said:
(nazis) deserve a safe platform
banned
So you literally were banned for saying that the Proud Boys have free speech. That's telling. Usually people like that make excuses and blame it on your "hateful conduct" in your back-and-forth argument with emma. I'll give ziq credit: he came right out and said it's for believing that his political enemies had rights.

Free speech also requires not self-destructing when you find out someone has the wrong opinion.

Rad. Lots of affordable VM hosts out there!
Yeah, that there is the timeless conundrum. If you make a complex system easy, you have to make it a black box that you don't actually understand. It's only safe if the black box's engineers did a good job of make sure it's air tight. (The MiiB engineers may well have!) On the other hand, if you let the complex system be complex, you have to do a dang homework assignment to figure out how to do something.
It's nice to see that hosting infrastructure has evolved to the point that VMs are commodified and companies compete and drive prices down and that if you know how to tinker with operating systems you can have quite a powerful machine that you have full control over for, like, dirt cheap.

Pretty good read. Yeah, there are a thousand ways for your phone to compromise your privacy in spite of everyone's best attempt to do otherwise. (And I'm not suggesting everyone always does try to do otherwise.)

nice. i like ramnode, it's 3 bucks for a 1-core, 512mb ram, 160~GB hdd, 2TB bandwidth. 5 bucks gets you double those specs
there's some ssd ones too but for a personal email server i figured hdd is probably plenty fast enough
and man mail in a box was easy to set up. too easy tbh, now it's kind of like a black box that i dont' really know how it works. i set up a mail server with dovecot/postfix etc back in like 2012 and it was .. complex

Not a bad idea!
I'm trying not to come across as a VM salesman and just to be thorough and specific about the information I'm sharing. Here I go. Vultr rents out a VM for $2.50/mo., full specs below. That easily out-competes most of the private email services reviewed, price-wise! You just have to figure out how you're going to do backups.
(Message me for a referral code if any of you are interested so we each each get a couple bucks free credit.)
Specs for the cheapo VM:
- 10 GB disk space on an SSD
- 512 MB of RAM
- 500 GB monthly bandwidth
- But... it only does IPv6!
- The pre-configured OSes available to choose from includes Ubuntu, and there are numerous "get Mail-in-a-box installed on Ubuntu" guides available online.
- Note: The $2.50/mo. IPv6-only box is only available in some Server Locations such as New Jersey, USA. Not sure what the rhyme or reason for that is.
If you can handle the fact that you'll only get an IPv6 address, that box is more than sufficient to serve email. It's $3.50 for the same machine but with IPv4.

Near as I can tell, people have no control over the development of their sexual preferences. Some men discover they are only attracted to other men. For those men, faggotry the gateway to some of the deepest and most profound experiences of fulfillment and pleasure available to humans. I want everyone to experience as much joy, pleasure, happiness, and meaning as possible during their short lives. Ergo, faggotry is good.

This is inevitable. Tax evasion is going to be the driving force for big brother to demand that crypto on/off ramps collect KYC. It would be nice if places started accepting Monero payments, but that would eventually be regulated too.

Seems like a lot of other gear is out too. One of the shops near me seems to be more geared towards hunting and sport and they always have a large reloading section. Looked pretty bare last time I went in a month or so back to just window shop and shoot the shit since I was in the neighborhood.
