How many of them had pharmaceutical money behind them, I wonder.

Well anyway I enjoyed the read.
I am only here actually because proper forums have yet to figure out federation. As soon as Discourse or Flarum or whatever figure out full federation, I'm gone (over to them).
Specifically, I prefer chronologically sorted posts and the absence of voting systems.
Millennials naively assumed that the following generations would just naturally be as computer literate as they are. We're dealing with people now who think that wi-fi is internet service.
The author of the article is specifically referring to bulletin board forums when describing forums. Link aggregators like reddit are not forums. They are comments sections.
DRM apologist, like so many of the Steam fanboys. "No, it's good DRM, you see?"
What, you don't want to interact with a CIA asset?
I do use ClamAV. Most users just run some sort of daily scan, but this is remedial and not preventative.
In order to truly harness clamav's potential, you need to configure clamonacc on-access scanning. It passes items off to clamd with lowered privileges and prevents file access through inotify until its realtime scan has cleared.
I wonder sometimes if the advice against pointing DNS records to your own residential IP amounts to a big scare. Like you say, if it's just a static page served on an up to date and minimal web server, there's less leverage for an attacker to abuse.
I've found that ISPs too often block port 80 and 443. Did you luck out with a decent one?
Glad things turned out favorable for you.
it’s forced some of the long stagnant Telco companies to actually compete and start rolling out fiber of their own.
The fact that they failed to do so of their own volition is reasonable grounds to continue to avoid said Telco even after they've finally deployed fiber.
I'll shortcut this to the logical conclusion:
It's centralized, proprietary technology.
If it is proprietary it is going to fuck you over, one way or another. It's not a matter of if, but when.
I get it, and thanks for the advice. But I dislike what voting does to spaces like this as a matter of principle. It is a social consensus reinforcement mechanism, even if it is implemented with the best of intentions.
