At least nobody is rewriting the e-mail clients in Rust or telling me that I need an evil rectangle and to install an app on it to check my e-mails

E-mail wins by doing nothing

I'd really like to self-host e-mail, but also it seems inadvisable to do so on a residential Internet connection in case the ISP is unhappy with that (because of spam concerns etc.), so I'm waiting until money is less concerning so that I can go rent a fake computer with a static IP address

@hex Seems like this was what I was thinking of: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SuperDisk

However, I misremembered, no 120MB on regular floppy, but up to 32MB:

It has double the capacity of the LS-120 and the added feature of being able to format regular floppy disks to 32 MB capacity.[3] However, this higher density comes at a price – the entire disk must be rewritten any time a change is made, much like early CD-RW media.

Hm 🤨

A. By accepting NETWORK SERVICES from Hurricane Electric, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Hurricane Electric, its successors, assigns, partners and affiliates from any action resulting from your use of such services, regardless of alleged fault or defect.
B. You agree to pay all costs and fees incurred by Hurricane Electric as a result of any lawsuit brought by you or arising out of your use of NETWORK SERVICES from Hurricane Electric.

I do not, in fact, agree to pay for the costs if Hurricane Electric gets sued

No free DNS for me, I guess

Or did I misunderstood this? Words are hard

If any computer touchers are online, I really could use some help with this.

Any decent dynamic DNS service that doesn't make me sign weird legal agreements?

It's unfortunate that the browser with the cute fox mascot is doing bad things.

Just look at this. This is perfection. So memorable. They should have never changed it to the abstract shapes IMO.

Modern laptops don't even have a PCMCIA slot for expansion cards :blobcatoh:

Did you know that Apple used to make servers?

@hellomiakoda I should've specified, my instance runs glitch-social, which is some sort of fork which does support markdown such as bold or italic or links

@hellomiakoda Sorry, not you, I was just testing whether Mastodon supports making text big with <BIG>Test</BIG>, apparently it doesn't

Hmm... Mastodon doesn't support <BIG>?

Test test

Test

@hellomiakoda @IntrepidVector @ashly Americans are so willing to fight each other over a toy? :psyduck:

What is "Cyber Monday"? :psyduck:

@ricci Do you (and the Computer History Museum) plan to read the tape and publish the source code for UNIXv4 anywhere?

Am I just being weird, or does this Pokémon look like Donald Trump? It annoys me every time I see it because it reminds me of that guy
