Have a look at gullo.me, their entry level vps was just $2 or something.

Edit: https://hosting.gullo.me/pricing (apparently the cheapest is $3.5 - annually)

Yeah Douyin is pushing educational content and is very fast to censor harmful stuff. Still full of garbage and racism though, just the sanctioned kind against people the government doesn’t like.

If I were an exec at Google, I’d have already made a move to buy out a small country. Tuvalu, Nauru or something with a minuscule GDP. Then proclaim the Google Republic, move HQ functions over, and be free of taxes and outside influences forever.

And being their own country, they could even have a full fledged military…

I think the lite versions don’t allow scripted blocking, only static or something. So a whole lot of the adaptive blocks for persistent ads you encounter on facebook, instagram and other shitty socials that behave like viruses will be hard to impossible to kill.

I’m glad I never had to deal with that as I have never used Chrome on desktop, but I’m pretty sure there will be many folks out there who don’t know how to switch.

GDPR protects user data, not virtual data associated with an avatar you control. We might get there someday, but as of now, you’d only be able to request copies of stuff directly associated with yourself.

You absolutely can mix and match RAM sticks, as long as their specs are the same. It’s not necessarily recommended as there might be compatibility issues, but usually ends up working just fine.

The thing is that gen.xyz is the registrar itself, i.e. the highest authority for this tld. If they blacklist domains, you’re screwed.

They are indeed the registrar. Would have expected more.

My server is called Mars, and the two clients I have are Phobos and Deimos (the moons of Mars). I though that’s a good fit.

Been using it forever.

I see we work with the same people.

And then they wonder that people resort to easily predictable patterns such as !1Qaz@2Wsx#3Edc and simply shift it one position to the right with every forced change and repeat at the end of the keyboard.

I’m pretty sure that’s some workaround against a divide by zero bug that made it from hotfix to permanent fixture.

I had it running in a genuine small office environment with 8 employees, who all need to run Windows due to some software constraints.

Policy management and user account controls are great for security, and remote management via rdp is also neat.

Yeah, they are so 2010. I sometimes end up there when trying to dig up some obscure driver for outdated tech, but that’s really it.

May I ask which country you’re from? That sounds dystopian.

The update without fail tells me it doesn’t work due to non-standard folders being present. So, I delete ‘temp’. After the upgrade is done, it tells me that ‘temp’ is missing and required.

Other than that it’s quite stable though… Unless you dare to have long file names or folder depths.

“Sorry we showed you the ad before the black Friday return window lapsed.”

Any multiplayer game. They sacrifice a deep and interesting storyline for the sake of pointless grinding and slaughtering.

No they don’t. They detect if an extension is installed in Chrome, and if so, automatically install the Firefox equivalent - if it exists - and migrate the data. An extension that’s chrome exclusive can’t be ported over. I just tested and confirmed this as well, instead I was the one misunderstanding the feature, but no. Can’t import any extensions not already natively existing in Firefox.
