I gave up running an email server long ago - I thought it was basically impossible because too many spammers were doing it for nefarious purposes.

HAHAHAHAHA. That is hilarious.

I love how quickly everyone has forgotten about that xz attack.

I use and love Linux and have for over two decades now, but I'm not going to sit here and claim that something similar to the current Windows issue can't happen to Linux.

Back when I was in online dating (I got married in 2010, so it has been a very long time), this is how it seemed to work in the hetero arena:

• Women (by which I mean, legitimate accounts from women who were actually looking for dates): Get 1,000,000 messages, approximately 999,900 of which are dick pics.
• Men: See 1,000,000 ads, of which about 3 are legitimate people looking for dates.

So, both could be true in relation to the image.

I remember a guy once telling me that basically you have to respond to EVERY AD and hope something sticks. I never did that, and I felt bad for what the women must have had to deal with when I heard that. I had very limited success - dates with, at most, two or three women, and none of those really went anywhere. I ended up marrying someone from work instead.

Well said. I originally compiled my own kernels because I thought it was something you just did to use Linux. I also compiled hundreds of them, probably. Now it's stock kernel all the way. Not worth the effort and time and headache.

If you leave it alone, it's practically always fine. But the urge to tinker is strong!

Why did they even announce it? Just start doing it and wait to see if people care when they notice. You should be able to figure out people aren't going to like it.

No one puts out a giant advertisement that their prices are going up. Trial balloon maybe, to gauge reaction?

It is incredibly frustrating that Christians see this man as a good person, basically the antithesis of everything they supposedly believe. Three wives? Cheating on your pregnant wife with a prostitute? Doesn't go to church.

I hope the Lincoln Project or whatever it was saved some good stuff for this election.

The hell...I have a pickup with bedliner that we use (in part) for picking up pellets for our pellet stove by the ton. They put the pallet on as far as they can while it's fully on the forks, then lift up the end of it and push the pallet on to the truck the rest of the way. No issues at all, and we've been doing it for several years now.

I throw all kinds of crap on it. A few years ago we were getting rid of fencing the previous owners had left...the only thing I had to worry about was them tangling enough that I wouldn't be able to get another piece in (we have a cap on our truck). That's the whole point in getting the bedliner. I'd refuse to help someone doing that.

You think that's bad? Mention you use a HP printer sometime. I dare you to try it.

The only part of that I disagree with is the part that implies that is the only problem with him. Otherwise, yes.

I have a cousin that disappeared off Facebook that was a huge Trump fan (he literally commented "Don't worry, we still love you, President Trump" after the election loss). It's possible he unfriended me, which means I wouldn't see his profile or anything, but the timing is odd - you'd think he would have done that when we were arguing about, say, Covid in 2020. It makes me wonder where he was on January 6 and where he is now.

Two people down voted this. I assume they are unaware of the history of that domain.

Hint - you did NOT want to use the wrong TLD at work or school.
