‘Both Candidates Are Trash!’ Charlamagne Pushes Back Hard On The View Hosts Pressing for Biden Endorsement ( www.mediaite.com )

Federal judge halts new U.S. rules limiting credit card late fees | Bank lobbyists challenged the legality of the cap, which was set to take effect next week. ( wapo.st )

The judge is a Trump appointee.. I'll also note that he's in Texas, where the rules against judge-shopping aren't being applied, so the suit was likely filed with advance knowledge that he'd be hearing it.

If they can afford to sell debt for pennies on the dollar to a debt collector, then why is the bill so high to begin with? Settle with me directly at the same rate. Better yet, get all of this cost and third party network crap out of healthcare entirely.

You can demonize the current president over one issue that is overseas, or you can not vote or vote for the other guy who will not accomplish anything but Israel support and worse.

Weigh what has been accomplished vs your issue vs the alternatives and vote accordingly.

Hello y'all! I have my personal (static) website / blog running on netlify out on the public internet. Netlify, in case you're not familiar, is not a traditional web host, so I can't add databases or anything else like that on the server itself.

Is rsync.net a good service for backups?

I use it. No complaints here. They've recently reduced their rates. The alternatives are more involved and more expensive. I put my remote Borg repos on rsync.net

Because I use Borg I don't really need their zfs snapshots but those are pretty cool too.

I have multiple Borg repos, so rather than add a remote for each I just rclone everything at once to rsync.

Unfortunately, mail is a complex subject. Those folks are generally right. I've been doing this awhile, and know what I am doing. My solution will blow the doors off of canned solutions in both performance and lack of false positives. But it is a custom solution and I do not recommend it for most people. I had toyed with the idea of putting a management console on the thing, but for the effort involved, I didn't feel it is worth it these days with barracuda and proxmox mail gateway products out there.

One big item to deal with if you self host these days is to be on IP address space that is not blacklisted by most spam filters. Comcast's non-business IP space, for example. Linode for another. If you are in this situation, you can relay through a third party, but you are then not controlling things end to end.

Another issue now is that many recipient providers are requiring valid dmarc, dkim, and spf records. You will need to have all three properly configured for the domains that you manage.

What you might want to do, though, is perhaps host your own mail security relays that stand in front of your 'ready to go' mail provider of choice. This is much slower than mine, but is what I would use if standing something up for a company these days: https://www.proxmox.com/en/proxmox-mail-gateway/overview

Or if you want to host everything yourself, there are some solutions out there so you no longer need to piece it together. Search for 'self hosted email'. I would still put a mail gateway like proxmox in front of it for your edge security and filtering though.

For home, use your firewall. Either physical ports on the firewall with dumb switches or vlans with managed layer 2 switches.

There are many ways to do this. Proxmox can do it with ovs if all your devices are virtualized. Pfsense is probably the most straightforward.

The best way to run pfsense is on dedicated hardware. This would work for you https://protectli.com/vault-4-port/

You'll also then need switches or a managed switch with vlans for each network segment.

Do you need to download an anti-virus for Android?

So my workplace is mostly iPhone users and someone asked me what kind of antivirus software I used on my Android, and I said "none" and he flipped out about how unsafe it was.

Tim's name is the only one on the original html rfc. He is also a contributor on the httpd rfcs.

https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1866

So as far as content creation is concerned, yes he invented it. Html markup made it very easy for non-technical people to easily create their own web pages. That we no longer do that as individuals is the main point he is making. The original intent of the tool has been taken over by marketing and capitalism.

Before his work we communicated and shared via ftp, telnet, usenet, gopher, smtp, and irc.
