You would think Digital Ocean being a cloud hosting provider they could do email themselves, secure customer data and not provide it to third parties. Great write up though.
Didn’t cable have a similar business model. Charge + Ads. They’ve probably modelled out the amount they would $ gain vs customer loss from adding ads.

For what it’s worth in regards to good sleep, a good mattress goes a long way not expensive but one right for you. There’s many types.

Rely on a SaaS, complain then don’t have BCP/DR yourself . Huh
Mobs have been around forever before computers. Throughout all of human history. Looking at it from a positive view, at least people aren’t stoned to death anymore.

To scale whole population could just do ultra-sound for colon Polyps + CRP blood test. Then go from there.

to avoid reverse proxy, dynamic dns to access servers at home, maybe try tailscale to achieve same thing

For most using HN, the standard of living is likely better than all the pharaohs and kings of the past by a considerable margin. Gratitude is important, all the rest is relative.
potential scenario would be savings over ~$100k in a bank account would be seized.
Re:Ask HN: Why do my online accounts keep getting banned? on Friday March 04, 2022 @03:24AM (#30552076)
Maybe: - Password manager compromised - Personal details - mobile, email, flagged with third party fraud checker - IP flagged (access via vpn, same network something happening)

Not great from google, but you need a basic bcp/dr plan for common scenarios especially if service provider goes down for whatever reason.
Could look at pihole or nextdns (cloud version of pihole)

DNS block twitter, news and all other social. Give it a week and you will probably feel much better mentally.

This is chicken or the egg causality dilemma. Might be wise to think the other way around too. X causes Y, Y causes X.

Recently just got an air fryer for cheap. Turns out super useful. Steaks just press a button and leave for 20min.
got a usb on ebay with malware for windows.

I find tailscale simple and setup exit node easy
Re:Ask HN: Gmail account security on Sunday January 23, 2022 @06:25PM (#30051738)
Password reset functions for most providers often make 2FA hardware/software tokens useless. They fall back to email/sms to reset forgotten password/tokens. I guess it’s usability for majority over security that would lock out users.
Limited usefulness without ESNI.
Any specific accounts to follow?
Why not use something like notion or Evernote and be done with it.
