You can easily check this. It's an iframe of recaptcha.net, loaded in via a gstatic.com javascript file. So it is an actual reCaptcha

I believe the AGPL doesn't actually require this, even though MinIO may think it does. I hope someone gets sued over this some day so we may find out

Re:ECC RAM on AMD Ryzen 7000 Desktop CPUs on Wednesday October 11, 2023 @01:36AM (#37841300)
I think they make their own motherboards (have them made). So they can fully make sure that ECC is supported from start to finish

> Even worse, users can signup on a random server then it can end up on one of the big server blacklists (or get shutdown) and they won’t be able to see or participate in major portions of the network.

Maybe do a bit of research and don't sign up at shitty instances? The only reason I have seen for blocking instances if they're alt-right, racist, transphobic or harassing people

I think [slotmap](https://docs.rs/slotmap/latest/slotmap/) could be on there somewhere, I have found it very useful for various projects. I guess it could be listed under datastructures?

Re:Show HN: Distributed JMAP and IMAP Servers in Rust on Monday September 19, 2022 @12:58PM (#32900909)
This is very cool! I had always hoped someone would build a native JMAP server after I read the posts from fastmail

Ask HN: What software do you use to examine binary files?

Of course a simple hex editor or even xxd will easily show you a hex/ascii representation of a binary file. But is there any good software that understands many binary formats and can for example show me what header values a gzip file contains?I think a terminal application that understands this for many different formats and easily allows you to add more formats would be very helpful
