  • They have no chance of getting that high, or do the same amount of damage, for two reasons:

    • physics
    • they’re unlikely to ever exist

    But, let’s assume these do get built, and some people buy some of them, and some of these people use them on road… well, we already have a vast amount of footage were tesla cars are embedded into various buildings. It’s just gonna happen on the first floor too.



  • Yes, me and $job are on OVH, moved the servers twice, so basically had moved over 6 IPs. Colleagues running on different providers though; Scaleway/Online mostly. I experimented a bit with hosting everything at home, which worked fine at the time for mail reception and delivery, but had to give up on it because it wasn’t very stable (I had hilarious smokeping at the time).

    And, I’m just tired of the whole “you can’t host your mails” thing. It’s not all perfect, but on the rare occasion someone (usually a third party service selling both a blocking list AND an unblocking service…) flagged us, it was resolved in a day, with a single contact email. It happened twice in the last few years.





  • Microsoft (Outlook, Hotmail) won’t accept your email without paying them, or forwarding through someone who does

    That’s absolutely not true. They sometimes bork some messages and signatures internally, but aside from that, delivery to MS stuff (and that includes a lot of business behind their “outlook protection” service) has been fine for years.

    And, contrary to old beliefs, it has been mostly fine all around. Just properly setup DKIM, your DMARC and SPF records, and don’t actually send spam. The worst that could happen is if you’re trying to send through some residential IP, as large blocks can occasionally get blocked. But a cheap hosting anywhere (even in a spamfarm-ridden provider) is very likely to work fine.



  • That’s a technicality. The term AI do encompass a TON of things, but it is as irrelevant as saying “crypto” isn’t just the scam machine we know. For most people, it is. And for most people, AI is “Gemini/Claude/ChatGPT”. And telling them the difference isn’t gonna matter at all.

    I wonder if some people compiled a list of terms that got so removed from their actual meaning because of advertisement/commercial use. Like, “wifi” is synonymous to “wireless internet access” to so many people, and yet it’s actually not.
