Does this harm twitter in any way?

I mean, if they are still reachable and usable in Brazil, they can still serve ads to those users and so it seems their business doesnt change much?

But there must have been some advantage for twitter in having an office there, otherwise they wouldnt have opened it in the first place.

I don’t care for that new cosmetic drive thing. But the changes to respawn system could be interesting. Overwatch really needs to be played as a team and spamming “group up” can only do so much.

From what I can tell, not much. They use dashes “-” instead of pluses “+”.

But neither of these two options provide you with much privacy. Plus addresses, as others have pointed out, can be automatically stripped (just delete everything after the plus sign) and you get the real email behind it.

This service specifically I dont know the details, but it seems there is a unique prefix per user, but no “real email”. So for instance if you use gmail you can have “sunnie@gmail.com” as your real email. You then use “sunnie+lemmy@gmail.com” for your lemmy account. If that email gets leaked out somehow, people can easily tell your real email address is “sunnie@gmail.com

This service seems to do something very similar with the difference there is no base email, so there isnt a “sunnie@port87.com”, there will only be “sunny-lemmy@port87.com”. It is worth pointing out you might still be tracked because all your emails will be prefixed with “sunny”. So although spammers wont be able to figure out your real email address they can just try something like “something-reddit@port87.com”, and if multiple of your addresses leak it will be easy to link them all up to the same person.

This also creates A LOT of lock in. Because if the service shuts down you now have dozens of services for which you don’t have means to access the emails anymore.

Thanks for clarifying.

Yes, you do need to organize your stuff downstream if you so desire (I personally prefer not to). I will leave the comment though because they provide similar funcionality and might be helpful to someone.

If anyone is interested in this, check out addy.io and simplelogin, which provide this exact service and are seen as privacy friendly by the community. Remember that any email service like this has the potential to read all your email, so pick a service you trust.

I really liked it. It looks very clean and friendly. I can identify the ui elements with a glance. I know it is not modern and sleek and it doesnt look “gamer” at all, but function wise I think this is great.

Thanks for the rant, loved reading through it.

It is an interesting thought to think that a poor person is given desire but those ultra rich seem to have converted all of theirs into “more, more, more”. Almost like a dragon hiding in their cave hoarding all their treasures.

Grafana is just the frontend, its a dashboard for your different data sources Prometheus is the “database”, it scrapes data from your endpoints over http

Thank you for your reply!

Personally I am fine with nginx configuration, at least when using containers. The syntax is fine and all I need to do is map one file into the container

But I took a look at the automatic cert feature and wow, that is very, very nice. I may give caddy a try for this feature only - it would simplify my current setup.

I am also surprised it allows using HTTPS over port 443 for cert renewal. I didnt even know this was possible, so I was always stuck with DNS challanges.

So again, thanks for your reply!
