I am pretty sure I was hit with this. I had some REALLY weird redirects coming from text msgs. NOT from Egypt. Maybe paranoid. Offline / on new Linux devices for now.

Mullvad has been very outspoken against the proposed "Chatcontrol" law. I suspect retaliation. Just my 2 cents.

You mean Sealand?

If it is not a get rich opportunity there would be no incentive to push for it.

So what would be the best strategy for a citizen to profit from this looming scenario? Asking in good faith. What is your strategy to get the most out of it? What can I do to take home as much as possible?

"My son is 12. He codes. And he fucks." - Who would post this to HN and not Reddit to troll? Seriously.

The sentiment is lopsided if you actually care about positive outcome and the audience on HN. "Being single" is not HN worthy. There are no learnings in this blog post a technical audience could learn from unless you want stereotypes to succeed.

>He lives in Germany too, where it takes way more effort to turn an incidental encounter into something more. Hogwash. You are used to a different culture is all. As a German it does not take more effort to turn an encounter into "something more", you are just not used to the customs.

This whole thread needs to be shut down. WTF

Thank you so much for your reply. This.

Welcome to the republican party.

You are arguing in bad faith. It seriously does not have to concern you (unless you are my host which has implied bandwith restrictions before I signed a contract).

It was not for them to decide up until now. And yes of course users were willing to wait $duration for it until now. If you are suggesting a work around that is okay. It is not okay for google to tell their users to tarball "now" "because".

Of course you an ask, but the answer is "no". It does not concern you, unless you are my host.

This is not for you or Google to decide. And no, I can sync changes without having to tarball. I might only touch one of those 5M files a week actually, depending on my structure.

Where is the difference though seriously? If it is for "data" I might be accessing it every other minute. If it is for backups I might be accessing it every other minute as well. I do look at my cat pictures every other second though and yes I do encrypt them before and after I do so. The whole spiel of cold/hot storage ..

In all their docs concerning Android devices for example.

This is meant and advertised for backup.

I mean I know why they want to restrict the amount. It adds computing expenses to their bill. But wow.

Why would it seem unreasonable?

This is not about the free tier.

Why would you care about reasons, if you offer a certain amounts of space? There is a size limit. Why would you implement an item limit?

I have about 15M files in my Dropbox. The limit of my box is the size of my files combined AND their own size not their number. "Files uploaded to dropbox.com must be 50 GB or smaller. All files uploaded to your Dropbox must be smaller than your storage space. For example, if your account has a storage quota of 2 GB, you can upload one 2 GB file or many files that add up to 2 GB. If you are over your storage quota, Dropbox will stop syncing."

I actually miss Twitter + SMS on a dumb phone. It was a really weird time 2009/2010 where I would only use a dumb phone + SMS + Twitter to keep followers up to date concerning parties and events. I have not used either for a couple of years by now but am tied to my "smart" phone because of various services not even offering websites at times. I don't even check my mails every day... Time to ponder where I took the wrong turn I guess.

1blu is running such a deal right now (4 cores 8gb ram 120gb ssd)

This is 1999 type stuff.
