Oof yeah. You’re well into admin territory here.

I mean I’m just some layman on the internet, but I would look at tying in some authentication layer to get your 2FA, although it would inconvenience your users users.

Do your users use this service for srs business?

I don’t know if I have anything else to add to this discussion. It’s gotten more complex than what “just an email server” can provide imo

I would say white-list instead of black-list if possible.

Beside the point, have you considered the reasons why you might not want to run your own email server in todays age? It’s a fun experience for sure, but if you want it for serious use it’s not for the faint of heart (unfortunately).

Edit: also lol to your friend unknowingly conducting a spam campaign from your server

Yeah. It always shocks me at how cheaply these people offer this information. Even going back to the Cold War, Aldrich Ames was selling info that directly led to peoples’ deaths for just 10s of thousands of dollars. Nowadays people are selling details of billion dollar ships for less than the price of a new car.

Security is hard

I’m flying into Tokyo on a Thursday. Going to stay a night, then take the train to Osaka for the weekend til Tuesday. Then heading west to Hiroshima for a bit, back to Osaka for the next weekend. Spend a night in Kyoto, then back to Tokyo until I fly out.

That’s the loose itinerary at least, I really have no idea what I’m going to do while I’m there 😅. Lots of walking around town and maybe some nature excursions if anything calls out to me.

I was going to go with a friend, but life got in the way and they had to bail. So I’ll be flying solo - it’s a bit daunting but I figure the one bag strategy might work well. Less stuff == less to keep track of and worry about.

(Although I am packing a day bag in my one bag 😁)

Great timing! In September I’ll be traveling to Japan for two weeks - and I’m gonna try to one-bag it!

Not really though? Apple makes good hardware and operating systems, and generally have a good privacy-forward stance when it comes to software (in my opinion).

Unfortunately it’s not as cut and dry as “use Gentoo” - if my ad revenue is potentially worth x, lemme just pay x for the service. I know I’m not alone in this sense.

Oh yeah. When you put it that way, it’s totally understandable.

But now I’ve betrayed the fact that I’m willing to pay a lot for community driven content :D

Still switching around as soon as I’m back at my PC though

I’ve heard about it but didn’t realize someone like google would blatantly do this. SMH

On PC, I’ve never watched ads. Only bought premium after getting an iPhone 2 years ago.

Appreciate being able to support creators while not watching ads ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯ , lot of good that did me.

Wait, what the FUCK!?!

This price increase is live for new subscribers as seen on youtube.com/premium. Instead of $11.99, YouTube Premium now costs $13.99/month. Meanwhile, it’s $18.99 if you’re subscribing from the iOS YouTube app.

I’ve been paying $4/month over market rate this whole time?

Not really sure if this answers your question (I agree with you, ultimately), but here’s my experience:

At the college I attended, these sigma/pi expressions weren’t taught until the end of Calculus 2, but I wanted to take an Algorithms class - which had calc 2 as a prerequisite.

I got an exception from my advisor which allowed me to take Algorithms before the pre-req. In my experience, these concepts were easily learned in the context of algorithmic complexity.

Some might be barred from learning important theory in computer science by “brutal” math classes at university. They might find solace in this post which translates sigma into ‘for’
