Re:BBS: The Documentary (2005) on Saturday December 23, 2023 @02:58PM (#38747571)
The day I was able to upgrade my 'shoebox' 110 baud modem to a 300 baud modem was the day I thought "I'll never need this kind of speed, but it's nice to have."

Thanks for posting about this documentary. I ran a BBS from 1983-1986 on a Commodore 64, a 1200 baud modem and 5 1541 floppy drives. An amazing time for this technology.

Too bad their DOH servers aren't anycast anymore and route your traffic through Singapore. They did have a nice adblock/non-adblock DOH and DOT service.

I had always hoped the future of video looked like this...
Unfortunately, Stream is not a rolling release like Arch. You will still be required to perform a full install of Stream 9 when it's released.

As long as Reddit is ip4 only, ip4 won't go anywhere...
Re:Why I no longer host my emails myself on Monday July 20, 2020 @07:51PM (#23903095)
If you can setup your SPF, DKIM and DMARC settings, you'll never have to worry about paying for email services. You can keep your email flowing to customers and maintain your security. Unfortunately, very few sysadmins these days seem to want to spend any time learning the ins-and-outs of successful email delivery.
Seems to already be available in FF 78.

Search for: browser.startup.homepage.abouthome_cache.enabled and turn it on to test.

We've got them in our small town along the panhandle of Florida. Amazing to see them advertising in major intersections around town.

"Looks like you're using an Ad Blocker" won't get you many friends or users from YC :)

Can't see the mailbox name I'm creating in Firefox. Field stays black but does accept the field.

Nano all the way... Always liked Nano better than Vim, but nice to have a choice.

Thanks for posting. If they added DNS over HTTPS or DNS over TLS I'd use give them a try.
Re:Byte Magazine: Future Computers (1981) on Saturday December 14, 2019 @11:45PM (#21794514)
Thanks so much for posting this link. The ads in the back pages bring me back to the early 80's and remind me where we came from (acoustic modems, 16K ram) to today. Geez, I feel so old...
Re:Removing Old Versions of TLS on Monday October 15, 2018 @05:59PM (#18224218)
So if we remove TLS 1.1 from our servers and just offer 1.2, we fail on fallback when testing through Qualys.

Thanks for the site notification, but you shouldn't use the site without https.

Use: https://monitor.firefox.com/

Re:Ask HN: Email on Linux? on Saturday June 09, 2018 @03:51PM (#17274653)
Slow? T-Bird is the best non-web based email there is. I'd rather my email on my server than sitting on a Google server somewhere...
