so much of the early aughts small business and startups were people selling stuff and doing things out of ppls home. and not like the "startup industry" startups, actual startups but aside from that, hosting a website or email ser

yeah no, this isn't a good take imo. we already have way too much of ISPs doing bad things to internet shaping and random governmental overreach (from state govts no less!) on domains and such. if someone wants to knowingly host a prox

to be fair, i once accidentally ended up on shreddit or new reddit or whatever they call it nowadays and i think there's something for managing your posts on reddit and seeing analytics about that or whatever > uncovering modern bot

gallowboob in particular was an interesting case because he was very much a real person. and oh hell did a subreddit I mod know that way all too well i think the guy had a like a keyword alert on his username because like one of my co-mods

"model" or "service" would be the term. basically the point is that it's not protected because it doesn't fall under any classification of IP (it's not copyright or patent since it's mathematical outp

the Unidan incident? iirc it only got noticed at the time because of an argument between him and Ecka6 which led to the somewhat famous "here's the thing you said a jackdaw is a crow" copypasta

some more information perhaps? banned_by true is more accurate to say "admin or automatic". in "admin mode," you can see these although not sure the UX for these nowadays now that it is spewing a gazillion lines of text

in a lot of cases, the leaders of the communities are not following the rules. (see the ppl talking about ndas and such) in any case, this isn't like "oh we don't want to build an apartment building because it might drop the

i mean ofc but like you can self-host pypi and the "Docker Hub" model isn't like VC-expected level returns especially as ECR and GHCR and the other repos exist

well no, (clean room )reimplementations of APIs have done since time immemorial. copyright applies to the work itself. if you implement the functionality of X, software copyright protects both! patents protect ideas, copyright protects arti

even 100 kB dynamically generated pages should be a piece of cake. if it's CRUD like (original op's site is), it should be downright trivial to transfer that much on like... shared hosting (although even a VPS would be much better

why wouldn't you? these are easily compressible text files. storing even like 100x into a 400 day (at most, the default for GH is 90) box is downright cheap to do on even massive scales. it's 2025, for log files and a spicy cron d

i think that people vastly overstate the costs of this sort of thing and it's super bizarre. if you're treating this as a big official corporation™ and such and want to pay 500 devs like $200k/year or something to make work,

it's also worth bringing up some arguments made by Theodore Tso over this very issue in 1998[1]: > Consider the following --- what defines "link"? Does an RPC call mean linking? What about shared libraries? What about m
