What’s the deal with Firefox mobile (Android)? Couldn’t see the setting.
Thank-you!
There’s a small pihole community (300 odd) on Lemmy but I don’t one how to drop a link to a community quite yet. Well, there’s actually two but the second isn’t gaining any traction.
I guess you were referring to the team though, which probably are not on here.
Fare well internet stranger!
Answered my own question: Yes. I’ve put the various anti Reddit spam in ublock so not really necessary.
Much rather have addy.io than Firefox Relay. I used the beta here in the UK and moved on.
Don’t know what oldlander is; directs to old.reddit?
Second vote for Niagara. Admittedly I haven’t tried other third party launchers. [Pixel 7 Pro owner who balked at the standard Pixel screen on sight in a way that I hadn’t previously with any phone]
I hosted my email on a home Exchange server last century before finally settling on Zoho so can sympathise!
I should also say that my setup is backed with Google cloud DNS.
I can’t honestly say that I’ve had any problems with Zoho collecting/sending email for years. It’s the general admin side that causes consternation - adding a domain, forwarding, lists, where the f I set up an email address!
Hosting domain email for other customers is really easy too should the need arise.
Zoho mail has a domain hosting platform for email. About £60 pa in dollars for my setup. Pricing varies on the number of accounts not the number if domains. I have two accounts, personal and business, and a control admin account. The domains I host vary according to the businesses I run. I funnel each domains email to one of the two accounts and reply with the appropriate domain easily. Personal email is masked with Addy.io mostly.
They deal with the email very well. There was a time that they really didn’t and the system went up and down like a tarts knickers.
The front end is ok. They play with it a lot and there are many screens pushing some shit or other before you actually are allowed to get to the inbox. The inbox setup is excellent with all the expected functionality and toys and many toys appearing monthly.
Typical of Indian continent companies, as a Brit who has spent much of his life frustrated on the phone to “Dave” from Mumbai with a really really thick accent, Zoho don’t really seem to understand concepts properly, so their passkeys setup doesn’t work with Bitwarden. TOTP 2FA cannot be just pasted in (from Bitwarden again) because they’ve tried to be flash with the input field and one has to click on a specific place first. The support team try really hard, but their ability to grasp the problem and fix it is lacking before some other buzzword catches marketing’s attention and they add yet another screen to click through or subvert the problem somewhere else. Their help knowledge base is enormous, well documented but unorganized and they don’t archive stuff that has been superceded, so be careful.
That said I’ve been using them for well over a decade and have no plans to change.
Running your own mail server ceased to be a hobby thing when RBLs came in. Use a provider with the resources to do the hard/cumbersome stuff.
I’d give Zoho mail an easy 7/10. And it’s cheap. Zoho invoice is great too.
Don’t follow. Help me out someone please.
The net runs on numbers. The numbers have to be translated into/from the DNS name to the numbers.
Nominating a DNS name as internal is doesn’t change the fact that we still have to, at some stage, find the (local) network mask that that corresponds to.
What am I missing?
Update: I’m not sure I formed my question correctly because I’m none the wiser. That’s my fault, I think.
First micro was an Acorn Atom around 1981. First home built PC in around 1988.
Used Windows from the very early days of 3.0 when (Xerox?) Gem became the less useful competitor.
Around Win 2003, XP era they started taking useful functionality out or burying it and taking the useful KB articles off the net.
About that time I wanted to look at VoIP and stumbled into VoIP@home which was hosted by CentOS and I, initially, ran in a Win 2000 VM.
Not long after MS bought Hotmail and found that Windows servers couldn’t keep it going and they had to replace it with UNIX. Maybe that timeline isn’t quite right.
Started transitioning away from Windows that that stage and am so glad I did. I think Win 12 will just consist of a start button and everything else will require daily subscription.
From being a Win fanboy to just wishing he’d have taken the whole thing to that Epstein island with him and left it there.
That’s rather beautifully put and extra marks for p-h-t! 😁😜
I learned low level stuff to give prices to traders before the trading interval ended. I’m serious. Our four man hedge fund was under the wing of huge French bank. Pricing in the era was painful.
Asked for a price in the era used to take minutes for derivatives; I was told much faster wasn’t possible; that’s a red rag to me. I had no choice but to get dirty and go low level again.
The traders were old style barrow-boys, their like disappeared maybe a year or so after. Derivatives have a load of parameters that go with the actual price, “the Greeks”, and market traders easily remember sets of shopping lists and prices and quantities at the same time. They were a shoe-in before computers were actually useful on a trading floor.
I learned to program on a 6502 RISC chip in Acorn Assembler. I liked it because BASIC was shit in the era (GOTO Fcuk My Life), like it got much better … 🤣😂 Knowing how programs work allows me to try to make it faster. These days I think know compilers are smarter than me.
Rust appeals too for the time-travel aspect. I’d like to learn to write a threaded program. I would have loved to do that when back in the day, I always regretted the way it worked, but it was way beyond me 😭 .
I wouldn’t mind looking at my old original killer pricing program, I knew it could be optimised then, but I just didn’t have the time or the skills to go that extra mile. I regret that bitterly. 😡
If you get time, let me know of your (t)rust travels. Bon voyage.
Probably Ruby. For some reason … no, that’s a lie … playing with Exherbo, Gentoo and Funtoo, but mostly Exherbo, made me loathe Python. However, everyone in the data processing arena seems to use it, so I’m bound to have to change my ways eventually! For “Ruby”: read “Python”.
My days of needing high-speed low level languages are long gone. I learned C on Borland C++ back in 1990 to price derivatives on 386s. Loved it.
If I mess around with any language it’s for fun. I intend to commit suicide, when my time is done, by the percussive head trauma that learning Haskell will cause me.
Use your surname with a personal domain. Then you can link up other family members to it. Eg. dave@cammeron.me . Otherwise you’ve got to have an email address dave@davecammeron.me which looks stupid.
Use your organisation as your work email. boris@megacorp.com, boris.bloke@megacorp.com bb@megacoro.com ceo@megacorp.com
You then separate the work and personal emails. Sending personal emails through a corporate server using the corporate domain is fair game to use in a court, you’re ostensibly representing the company and it’s not a personal email.
There are various hilarious stories about people losing rights to their name etc post internet era when their company was purchased.
Don’t try to run a mail server yourself, that became counter productive about the 2010s. I used to run servers easily last century when there was almost no-one sending email, then the sp-/sc-ammers ‘entered the room’.
Accidentally clicking on a wrong email on a unsecure environment can ruin your day if you’re tired and just keep clicking mindlessly.
Good luck. Especially if you have a popular surname that your family doesn’t own.
If there are multiple fucks, the apostrophe is after the ‘s’.
There usually are multiple fucks.
Boomers don’t do that shit; there was a huge shortage of kids - that’s literally why they’re called boomers. Gen X don’t do that shit - there were no mobiles or internet - we met people by being outside, a concept you totally missed out on. Look it up on Google.
Those memes are totally Gen Y and Z issues; created by you for you. Your world, not ours. Fucking hilarious.
Enjoy!

America is so done. The overcompensation is palpable.
This is the best advice. Bloody hard for me to do, however. Not sure why.
What happened to libdvdcss? Is that not a thing anymore?
From what I remember - it’s been a minute - there were many encryption keys that the publishing houses used to encrypt the DVDs released to the wild and they were packaged up in this codec, when they were found.
