That makes sense. Thanks a lot for the explanation!

Does this harm twitter in any way?

I mean, if they are still reachable and usable in Brazil, they can still serve ads to those users and so it seems their business doesnt change much?

But there must have been some advantage for twitter in having an office there, otherwise they wouldnt have opened it in the first place.

I don't care for that new cosmetic drive thing. But the changes to respawn system could be interesting. Overwatch really needs to be played as a team and spamming "group up" can only do so much.

I really liked it. It looks very clean and friendly. I can identify the ui elements with a glance. I know it is not modern and sleek and it doesnt look "gamer" at all, but function wise I think this is great.

Thanks for the rant, loved reading through it.

It is an interesting thought to think that a poor person is given desire but those ultra rich seem to have converted all of theirs into "more, more, more". Almost like a dragon hiding in their cave hoarding all their treasures.

Honest question: why not use nginx?

I have run it in so many different scenarios, both professionally and personally, its crazy. Nginx has never failed me, literally. My homeserver is quite limited but nginx has a very small footprint, it performs beautifully well and it satisfies all my hosting, proxying, redirecting and streaming needs.

It works for modern and legacy applications, custom code, webhosting, supports all the modern features and its configuration is very easy with literal thousandsof examples available online.

Apache probably can do all that but I hate how unintuitive its configuration is to me personally. HAproxy cant do half the stuff nginx does.

As for caddy Ive heard of it but never really used it. What does it offer that nginx doesnt?

I don't personally mind microtransactions as long as they are cosmetic only. What I do mind is how matchmaking got terribly bad.

I don't know that character

But it was supposed to be an old skyrim meme:

Not a very recognizable meme, so I hope you guys at least find out what it is.

I am sorry that happened to you

Thanks for sharing your story, though. I have a few domains, two of them being very important for me (one I use for all my emails, and the other one for all my self hosted stuff). So I'll be paying close attention to their renewal

I hope you can find another domain that you like and that you can transfer your stuff to it.

Wow, that's fascinating. To be honest I had never really thought about this before, be ir conlangs or otherwise.

But it does remind me of an interesting phenomenon that happens in some languages were the end of one word joins the beginning of the second one, giving rise to a third word.

I'm with you on that one. Currently paying for tuta (1$) and addy (1$) and forwardemail (3$). Forwardemail is actually more expensive

But neither proton nor tuta support IMAP, SMTP, at least not without the bridge thing.

So I have recently found out about forward email just a few months ago.

I am currently using tuta as my email provider, and I have been doing so for the last three years. But I am not very happy with the closed ecosystem and locking of basic features behind paywalls.

So I decided to give forwardemail a go after reading about it on free software foundation's webmail systems (this is a web archive link, more on that later)

Now the thing is, the service works. But things don't really feel legit. They claim to have thousands of users but there's surprisingly little information about them other than their own website. The branding seems completely generic and pretty much all of their code seems to be coming from one single account with no real information.

There's a couple reviews about them on trust pilot but the positive ones mostly come from accounts where the only review is for forwardmail.net

I've read some discussion about them getting recommended on privacy guides, they sounded very professional and mentioned even wanting to get auditioned, but to the best of my knowledge that has not happened yet (please correct me if I am wrong). Worse than that they seemed to stop replying to the thread a couple months ago.

Finally, I realized today that FSF has removed their recommendation for forwardemail from their website

In conclusion, I have tested and the service does work, but I can't tell if there is something shady happening. What do you all think?
