  • Great, now I have to dig out all my Rifts sourcebooks since it's been too long...

  • This is my thing. I have about 122TB of spinning metal (with the same as an offsite backup) with SSDs as ZIL and L2ARC. And it's awesome. HDDs I think will genuinely be important for for the foreseeable future.

  • I used to run in to a guy at my 'regular' who was with the Office of Police Integrity. He was bitter and angry because his job was in to investigate cops who fucked up or were crooked, and the police union would block it all. He wanted to do the right thing and was blocked at every stage. Hated cops, hated his job...

  • Yeah I found both Google and MS will arbitrarily act like dicks. Have it all sorted these days but still keeps me on my toes. Interestingly I can't email myself from my work email address because the MS mail service they use fails SPF checks...

    All fun and games at the end of the day! :)

  • The thing most people don't realise is in a dom/sub relationship it's actually the sub who has all the power. They can withdraw consent etc. any time they want Having someone you're in a relationship with directly reporting to you is problematic and most companies would explicitly not permit it.

  • I'm trying to remember this correctly, but traditionally /home is a symlink of /usr/home. I think that's deprecated and you should now just have /home

  • I use FreeBSD so used the guide here:

    https://www.purplehat.org/?page_id=4

    Sadly it is a little outdated and 1 step will fail right now until a new package is committed in to the FreeBSD repo (HTMLPurifier) which was removed as it was PHP7 only for a while. But yeah, have SPF, DKIM and DMARC running too. Took a little fiddling since I technically host for 2 domains but trial and error and all good now.

  • I've been self-hosting email for 10+years. I can confirm it's a pain in the arse... Harder from a dynamic IP too (since you basically can't get any reputation, or you might get an IP that's banned for 'x' reasons)

    Postfix + Dovecot here

    Edit: Didn't really give you an opinion. It's doable if you have the time and patience. I work in IT too so I'm pretty good at troubleshooting etc. but sometimes it's a LOT of time fiddling and debugging.

  • I have a power plan with static IP (host my own servers) etc.

    Will be interesting to see if that gets brought across. If not it looks like Aussie BB can cover those requirements if needed.

  • Been with Internode for over 20 years, not looking forward to changing provider...

  • A couple of years ago I ended up in the 1% because of one single thing I posted 2 weeks after I signed up purely to generate some rage because so many subs needed minimum karma... Can completely attest to this.

  • WTF is this ramble at the end on about?

    “While the Biden administration continues to make up rules that are unconstitutional, I will keep holding them accountable,” Paxton said in a statement released earlier this year. “I will not allow the Biden administration to threaten doctors and hospitals with this unlawful mandate and put millions of Texans’ access to healthcare on the line.”

  • I honestly think it's the best OS they released. Shame so many games would throw a shitfit at the time because it reported it was Windows NT (rightfully so).

  • The Venture Bros does have a couple of borderline transphobic jokes about Dr. Mrs. The Monarch in one episode

  • Hahaha, many many years ago that was in a meta tag on my website and the welcome banner for my mail server!

  • As most said here, it depends a lot. I usually wait for them to make the first move (offer their hand for a handshake or if they go in for a hug just roll with it). Let them do what's comfortable and let them initiate.

  • But I was told it was all Antifa and not Trump loyalists and no matter all the evidence to say otherwise I won't change my mind because (deep state|tribalism|lack of critical thinking)!
