Got any suggestions for another instance that doesn’t block much? (Or isn’t blocked much, I don’t know what’s happening.)

So far, BitTorrent hasn’t blocked anything for me.

Yep. All the interstitial “be right back” cards are AI generated. Such a dumb thing to skimp on.

The last one I saw, by release date, was Late Night with the Devil, and I pirated it. I’m glad I pirated it, because I didn’t know it had AI slop in it. If I did, I wouldn’t have watched it. It’s a shame, too, cause otherwise, it wasn’t bad.

No they haven’t. This wasn’t enough.

All heroes hate insurance men.

I signed up for a bunch of things with my Facebook account, then I lost my Facebook account. I also lost most of those accounts.

I use Nephele through Nginx Proxy Manager.

Well duh. They’re the enforcers. The enforcers don’t need to follow the rules.

Because Republicans don’t want you to vote if you have the kind of job that you can’t just take whatever time you want off.

The cheapest one I know of is about $8 a month, so it should be affordable, even on a tight budget.

You can buy a super cheap cloud VM and use a (self hosted) VPN so it can access your own PC and a reverse proxy to forward all incoming requests to your own PC behind your school’s network.

It’s arguable whether this would violate their policy, since you are technically hosting something, but not accessible on the internet from their IP. So if you wanna be safe, don’t do this, otherwise, that could help you get started.

Yes, but then you’re not using IMAP.

If you’re using IMAP, the emails aren’t completely downloaded by Thunderbird, just the headers.

JPEG XL, for sure. Great format.

Quite possibly. And also that format should die. It’s bad and it should feel bad.

Meshico.

I like it.

I just gave them 500 new data samples. :) My thumb is sore.

What I use for a lot of my sites is SvelteKit. It has a static site generator. If you like writing the HTML by hand, it’s great. Also HTML5 Up is where I get my templates. I made the https://nymph.io website this way. And https://sveltematerialui.com.

Throw those socks out, bro.
