One of the many benefits of owning my own email server: - I have a catch all setup to forward all emails to specific user on mail server - able to setup adhoc email addresses for each online service (ie, iarch@example.com) - able to claim example.com in haveibeenpwned Now I get breach emails from hibp for the whole domain. Unfortunately, I was exposed in this IA breach

The only drawback being that all of your outgoing email is sent directly to the receiver’s spam folder..?

I've never had this issue, been running my own email server for almost 10 years.

It's called torrent protocol and it doesn't work, no one wants to spend money and bandwidth hosting a god forsaken movie or book that only a handful of people care about.

I see 24 seeders for the entire 72-episode run of the 1991 sitcom "Herman's Head" which was so poorly rated that it's never seen a home media or streaming release, your premise doesn't hold any water at all.

People are pirating comic books and cookbooks from the 30s; there are a lot of people in this world, if something goes on the web and you tell everyone you put it there, it's pretty much preserved. It's only law enforcement that kills free availability of everything all the time online, for better or for worse.

With copyright, as individuals we get to trade all of the wonderful stuff already made (and long paid for) for the flood of minute-old shit and sludge inundating us online constantly. It's a bad trade. Maybe copyright should stop encouraging creativity; the answer to how "artists" would get paid post-copyright might be "who cares, quit if you want."

We already have Herman's Head, we don't need any more crap.

Simplelogin can do the first two. The third matters little anyways if you don't reuse passwords.

I used to do this, now I use icloud and the 'hide my email' tool and it works without any hassle. Even asks me when signing up for something if I want to hide my email. It is easier than adding it to my old setup. Even easier than when I was using my free Google for Business setup.

The rest of apple's email landscape sucks. It is pretty poor at managing spam, the client is terrible, it doesn't sync rules between the desktop app, icloud email, and iphone.

I hate email in general. It is getting to be 1 in a 100 type scenario of anything of value and likely worse if I knew all the emails that were deleted before I saw them.

https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/h02jl4/lets_sa... I found this reddit thread from /r/DataHoarder about backing up the internet archive particularly interesting, given the circumstances

50 PB * $0.014/GB = $0.7M. $0.014/GB is from[1], bare drive cost without chassis, power, or redundancy. 1: https://www.backblaze.com/blog/hard-drive-cost-per-gigabyte/

Interesting to compare their stated drive $/GB to their B2 offering: $6/TB/mo for "pay-as-you-go",

hard-drive price: $0.014/GB

B2 price (12*6/1024): $0.070/GB/year

Electricity, bandwidth, and generally running a business is not free. Also for these pay-as-you-go setups you'd need a considerable amount of free space available on demand. That said, it's not an especially cheap option. Hetzner has storage boxes for EUR 2.5/TB/mo (in fixed 5 and 10TB boxes though)

> They still don't let you serve data to the network from a normal filesystem, you have to let their system ingest all of your stuff so you end up double-storing data or you have to give into everything being stored as inscrutable binary blobs. I don't understand this part. What data would you have to give them? Why can't it just live next to your stuff on your OS' filesystem?

For IPFS, I'm fairly sure you can now serve from your normal filesystem, rather than load it into their blockstorage -- or at least the blockstorage has pointers to real data blocks that are part of your existing files (it's the nocopy option[1]; it's marked as experimental, so there may be some sharp edges.) For Filecoin, if you want fast access, you do need to keep a second hot plaintext copy, as well as the sealed…

Needing to keep a separate hot copy at 220PiB is already ~$7M/yr, and multiples much more than that if you factor in labor and redundancy. The --nocopy option looks great though, I didn't see it last time I was looking around for an MFS/FUSE solution, I'll try it.

I appreciate your effort and I hope the project continues.

Perhaps you can persuade Elon that it owns the libs?

I don't want Elon anywhere near Archive.org, please don't give him any ideas. There are plenty of other people in the world with money.
