What you mean to describe is a free tenancy vs a paid tenancy , the latter having provided a validated payment method which gives them a higher priority on allocations, even if the…

It has for me. I've had several permanent Arm-VPSes running in OCI for almost 4 years, without paying a single cent. But I'm on a paid tenancy , by having provided a verified payme…

Anonymizing network proxy.

No "credentials" are being "harvested" here. It's all worthless data, save for the statistics.

The "logical OR" of DMARC is absolutely a glaring caveat. I run my own MX and would personally under no circumstance omit SPF, because I consider neither SPF nor DKIM complicated e…

Yes and no. DKIM signs part of the envelope to help recipients detect alteration (by verifying authenticity), SPF locks down the permissible origins for the sender. SPF is in itsel…

I personally run iOS but have given GrapheneOS an extended run on a development phone I use for work, and I have to say it really is a much tidier, less distracting, smoother and m…

No one is stopped from backing up important data. It is, in fact, kind of boneheaded to keep all "valuables" on a single device. I don't understand the scenario of not trusting a d…

You're misinterpreting. They mean that there are additional options next to only keeping these things on your phone .

I personally consider these people European more than their specific nationality, but more importantly they to me represent European humanities, science, and so on.

There's also some irony in people happily ignoring that so many of these products live-stream the inside view of their homes and offices to some foreign corporate cloud - and in th…

I don't understand the article. It tries to shroud a plain tape recorder in mystery, but the whole thing is just eye-rollingly underwhelming because tape recorders/decks are still …

In this case you can just crack it open and see that the SD card inside is larger than the 8 GB block device exposed.

Well, you don't understand databases. Or software.

Why is deleting a row in a table a valid operation? Why is deleting a table in a schema a valid operation? Most likely they had full privileged access to the database.

But not everyone are thoughtless and uncritically think "biggerer number is betterer". I think a strong selling point of these phones is that they come with very little of the clut…

I assure you it can do regular calls and texting on the public telephony grid.

Do you live in a 5G-only region? If not, what's the problem?

All Amigas have 32-bit registers, some of them have a 16-bit data bus.

To me the entire 68K family were always 32-bit CPUs because of the 32-bit data registers. You work with it and write assembly for it in a transparent "32-bit way" like any other 32…

It's precisely what you're doing. You just insist that Western events in the last century are more important, more "valid", and must take precedence. "A billion people in Asia use,…

The unilateral West-first perspective is a problem.

Yeah that sounds like a really sound rationale. It's only far more than a billion people to whom the symbol has a powerful and positive meaning. Let's completely ignore that and sa…

Article makes no mention of what 900+ million Hindus may feel about the whole thing. It's possible the author doesn't even know what the swastika is, or that he is willfully ignora…

Developers who can't stop themselves from using embellished and "posturing" phrasing for simple things are a pet peeve of mine. I feel like this "knack" of Claude in a way scratche…
