Re:Rockylinux.org not hosted on Rocky Linux on Wednesday October 29, 2025 @06:23AM (#45744891)
why is this not flagged already? https://rockylinux.org/ serves a different website than the link in the OP.

I am guessing the vercel page is an old one, considering the 2020 trademark at the bottom of it.

The regulation is already there, mandating the telco routes 000 calls. They failed and as a result people died.

What the parent poster probably means by rolling heads is, this should not just be a fine to the telco but literally people going to jail for the criminal negligence.

How else is there going to be change? A money fine is just an operational expense that can be offset and "part of business if someone dies because of bad testing".

Not sure why you were downvoted. This should be the default comment on any new service Google presents.

For people OK with syncing to their own server, Atuin can be self-hosted as well

yes, what happened to due diligence? sounds like a BS excuse to cancel the subs.

Re:Calling women 'household objects' now permitted on Facebook on Wednesday January 08, 2025 @05:14AM (#42632730)
Why do you say that? I checked the policy change and they have removed the literal "don't do this" example and the whole category above it.

Seeing as FB moderation was already lax on hate speech, do you think calling women 'household objects' will not be permitted in the future FB?

Re:Netlify just sent me a $104K bill for a simple static site on Tuesday February 27, 2024 @04:38AM (#39522066)
> It's currently our policy to not shut down free sites during traffic spikes that doesn't match attack patterns, but instead forgiving any bills from legitimate mistakes after the fact.

Well, giving the option to users to plan ahead would be best, no? Like a setting to choose whether they want a potentially unlimited bill versus downtime. Instead of that, you are choosing to stress and make people scared/anxious/homeless even (if they don't think of raising the issue on HN).

Seriously, this is not rocket science. This must have been discussed before in your company, and someone actually made this decision to stress people about such bills.

Regarding spam I recently found out this: https://heluna.com/ but haven't tried it yet. Basically you set your MX to heluna and tell them which server to send the clean email to (and charge your for it....)
