1 "data center" built from a shipping container is one too many. And, did you look at the photos you linked lol.

You should see the pricing of Azure web apps lol

My issue with OVH is the support is God awful and half French. Someone made a complaint about my server and their default stance was to nuke me from orbit and ask questions later. Oh and their "data centers" are just shipping cont

But they can't process the commit until I push it?

I had both setup previously and constantly ended up in my recipients spam. When I'm trying to sort my life admin with local council/government/landlord/utilities, it's one thing to have a 'cool' custom ema

It's the semicolon and the phrasing together. I can't explain but after you use AI a little you just notice the way it 'writes'.

It's not about receiving spam, it's about legitimate messages you send getting filtered as spam.

Most countries have these no call lists but they are fairly useless as there is no enforcement. I've even heard stories of some scammers exclusively using such lists, as they are pre-verified!

It's not "security theatre", it's blocking the absolute worst, most painfully obvious bots that. These bots also happen to account for a good 85% of bot traffic, so it makes sense to block them. Yes, of course, if a real

> Blanket IP range bans, in this day and age? Basically a proclamation of incompetence. I disagree. If I'm getting problematic traffic from even a few of your IPs and they're in a DC/VPS range, I'm blocking it and mov

That's fair enough. I think it's a great article to be fair. We need more of this cheap and quick bot blocking. The fact the solution to unwanted traffic is often "use Cloudflare" is _not_ great for the internet, and nob

It really depends on the term they're trying to rely on. We have the "red hand rule" in England and Wales that means that unusual and onerous terms will not be incorporated unless it can be expressly shown they were fairly br

That's a great idea. What do you use as your family password?

I had the exact same experience. Never used Facebook. Wanted to create a page for a product. Suspended. Did the face scan. Now they have my face and I'm still suspended. Absolute joke. Zuckerberg can go suck a fat one.

So much this. Everyone has their own idea of that the project should do and it's hard to explain that whilst that implementation is great for their specific use case, it's pretty shit for everyone else. AI has just made this so mu

Except spellcheck is a reasonably foreseeable part of a word processor. An AI model isn't really a common component of a typical web browser.
