I’m actually pleasantly surprised to find out he’s still alive and there wasn’t some mysterious hand waving to cover up his “misplacement”

It’s a trap

Somewhat. They can certainly maintain a list of known IP addresses. Those IPs can be changed.

When they change, you as a user need to be able to find the new addresses. Whatever mechanism you can use, your ISP can likely disrupt too. For instance, they can DNS block the API that returns the list of possible endpoints (as sometimes happens to Proton where I live).

You can then counter by using private DNS. It’s a cat and mouse game.

Nobody wants to read your spam ads

I’ve heard that someone is working on one, so fingers crossed it comes out soonish. It’s fine for me as is, but it’s a little difficult to promote to people used to the simplied Google and Apple UIs

The UI is a little crazy but I am a big fan of copyparty. I have moved my entire family off of Google Drive and we use copyparty, and it works great. Uploads are fast, lots of features, easy to stand up and doesn’t consume lots of resources. But like I said, the UI could be better.

There are two Tesla dealerships within 15 minutes of my house. Both lots are filled with cyber trucks. Nearby, there’s a mostly-empty office complex that has another 25+ cyber trucks in the parking lot, clearly being used for overflow. Crazy.

I think I just filled out my keyword bingo card from that headline alone

The problem isn’t using credit cards, but using credit. Put whatever you want on the card, just pay it off on time

Huh, it really IS the sequel
