And for a free trial, no less! If this isn’t laughed out of the courtroom and dismissed with prejudice, we’re all screwed.
I blow hot air.

Email templates are ubiquitous and can easily insert names and any other variable.
Wow! I adopted an adult cat and she stayed in hiding for two or three weeks. Now she can’t get enough of us, but she’ll teleport behind furniture at the first sign of a guest coming over.
Yep, that protection plan is $1.49. The real sin here is having the “Original Price” not be an obvious order total, but that’s pretty minor.
Yes, it depends on where the roads and rails are built and how direct their paths are.
The people in the meme are at about Seattle and NYC, which is a little over 3k miles apart (by car). You’d need to be going 250mph for the entire 12 hours to make that distance. A quick google search says that the maximum operating speed of a bullet train is 200mph, but tests have been conducted at 275mph.
So, you’d need to go non-stop at 125% max speed to make the trip in 12 hours. Even if you went at 275mph, realistically you’d make a lot of stops along the way, which is going to make the average speed a lot lower. Trains are great, but the US is really big.
Bonus fact: a non-stop flight from Seattle to NYC takes about 5.5 hours.
If you’re worried about unauthorized access to the physical machine, you could always just do disk-level encryption instead or store the app’s data in something like a Veracrypt virtual disk. They’d still be able to access the data if they go through your OS/user, but wouldn’t pick anything up by accessing the drive directly.
Nothing short of E2EE can truly stop someone from accessing your data if they have physical access to the server, but disk encryption would require a targeted attack to break, and no host is wasting their time targeting your meme server. I seriously doubt they’d access it even if you had no encryption at all, since if they get caught doing that they’d get in a heap of legal trouble and lose a ton of business.
It’s not discontinued. Imo patching out ads in this case is pretty lame, since it’s just a single dev making a good product, but who am I to judge.
Podman is purposefully built to rely on systemd for running containers at startup. It ties in with the daemonless and rootless conventions. It’s also nice because systemd is already highly integrated with the rest of the OS, so doing things like making a container start up after a drive is mounted is trivial.
Podman has a command to generate systemd files for your containers, which you can then use immediately or make some minor tweaks to your liking.
I use podman for my homelab and enjoy it. I like the extra security and that it relies on standard linux systems like systemd and user permissions. It forces me to learn more about linux and things that apply to more than just podman. You can avoid a lot of trouble by running the containers as root and using network=host, but that takes away security and the fun of learning.
Not sure what scenarios are exceptions to that. Like, you wouldn’t want to get locked out of an account just because you said STOP to your 2fa codes.
I set up automated texts a while ago and IIRC they must comply with the keywords STOP and HELP, otherwise they can get in big trouble with the carriers.
That’s the classic “If I owe you $5 it’s my problem. If I owe you $5B it’s your problem.”
It works with movies you already own, so there’s no need to buy more just to test it out! It’s still not as convenient as some other… less legal… options, but it’s a step in the right direction.
Movies Anywhere is your friend here. Buy a movie from one store, watch it from any other store. Not sure how it works when one store shuts down, hopefully you keep it in all the other stores.
When you pay principal, you are gaining that much value back as equity. It makes more sense if you think of a loan for something physical like a mortgage. If you pay $100 of principal on your mortgage, that money turns into equity that you own in your home so that when you sell you get that much more (in a simplified way).
You aren’t losing the $100 you pay in principal, it’s just transferring into an asset rather than liquid cash. With a student loan, that asset is your degree/education. It’s a little different than a mortgage because the bank can’t repossess your degree, but the underlying logic is the same.
You could also think of it like paying for your degree on a payment plan. You wouldn’t expect to get a tax writeoff on your couch just because IKEA let you pay in monthly installments.
Paying off principal is essentially shifting money from one pocket to another so it doesn’t really make sense to get a writeoff for that.
ChatGPT, is that you?
Dots is entertaining and mindless.
I haven’t played it, but holedown looks very promising.
My personal favorite is Egg Inc, though it’s a slightly different genre since it’s an idle game.
