That's what I thought. I'm trying to figure out if the extra things offered by these type of services are even worth looking into. -

One of the clients that I work with uses MailChimp. Got their domain validated with DNS records and after they were pitched on the ValiMail dmarc service.
I wasn't familiar with it before.
Anyone has experience with this kind of service?
Looks like you can use it to monitor what emails are sent using your domain. Not sure that is needed.
On their webpage it says that they partner with Microsoft and Google. That makes me trust them less, not more.
Are alternatives like PowerDmarc worth checking out? They tout "ai" as a part of their technology, which also does not inspire trust.

I hope to at least do this less frequently.

I agree that it has been a slow descent into a weird state of affairs with Mozilla.
I used to be a huge Mozilla fan. I still use Firefox and Thunderbird, but the excitement for them are gone. I now also use the Brave web browser in addition to Firefox.
Mitchell Baker writing an official blog post calling for more censorship, "We need more de-platforming" just seemed so at odds with the "open web" message they had previously promoted.
Their doubling down on AI now just seems like they are intentionally running Mozilla into the ground.

I'm guessing that KVM is available on Linux, but not Windows.
I was just curious to see if there's any new alternative to VirtualBox on Windows as I may be recommending people try Linux in a VM on Windows.In conversation from social.retroedge.tech permalink -

I'm Linux on all my stuff, but support computers with Windows for customers.
A full computer is much better than virtualization, so I usually try to get people to try a separate computer with Linux instead of a VM, but I thought I'd ask and see if there have been any recent virtualization developments on Windows.In conversation from social.retroedge.tech permalink -

Hey, question for you.
I haven't paid much attention in years to virtualization within Windows, as I mainly use Linux.
I used to use VirtualBox on Windows to set up VMs of Windows XP for people who needed it for running older applications or VMs for trying out Linux.
Is VirtualBox still the 'go-to' software for that?
Is there anything else that is recommended?

I got a gaming computer in for testing today.
It has both a 2TB Samsung SSD and Intel i7 13th generation CPU, both of which have seen early failures and problems.
There's a chance this custom gaming build suffers from both of these issues. I'll find out soon.

Sip. Sip.
... so now every black person who enjoys coffee and continues to buy it is a white supremacist.
Terrible logic. Too generalist in its pronouncement.

I'd like to know people's recommendations on VPS hosts, too.
I am currently using Digital Ocean for a work project and has been good to work with so far. Not sure if Digital Ocean "droplets" count as VPS, but seems equivalent to me.

We are going to push back on this "cancer vaccine" bigtech stupidity.
Who's going to accept it? Liberals shouldn't get it because they don't trust the Trump administration and MAGA people should know better to get jabbed with anything.

Push back against evil. Don't let anything be injected into your body that you do not want.

That may be more difficult... and I don't believe Trump ever promised that (correct me if I am wrong).
I'd be happy about the US dropping charges against Assange, too.In conversation from social.retroedge.tech permalink -

I am working with a customer who is wanting to replace a laptop that isn't performing as well as it should with a desktop. I think that's a good idea.
He wanted to go with a new machine instead of refurbished. Most of what I sell is refurbished, so I don't often work with brand new machines.
I recommended a Lenovo ThinkCentre M75s Gen 5. It'll be the first AM5 platform machine I've sold.

Agreed. Thankfully, it looks like she's found another solution in just getting a whole replacement system, both PC and printer from someone else. In conversation from social.retroedge.tech permalink
