It's only piracy if you grab a cutlass and storm the local shops. It's time to call it what it is = digital theft / running unlicensed software / whatever. If someone hacks into your accounts, I doubt you'd call them a pirate for stealing all you personal videos and pictures, taking over your steam account, 'borrowing' your netflix, and so on. The whole thing is deeply uncool.
Personally I wish the laws would change to make copyright non-transferable from the original artists, who deserve reward for their efforts but shouldn't be a meal ticket for others. I'd also like to see abandonware legitimised - if folk can't buy it then it should be fair game.
I dropped Reddit, but I'm still not 100% into Lemmy. To put it another way: Reddit was a pinned tab, as is Mastodon, webmail, Qobuz, and a whole bunch of other essentials. Lemmy is unpinned and gets looked at briefly every 2-3 days.
The rubber on mine turned sticky and I got rid of it. It was nasty to touch. I'd get another if it was a different material. Ended up with a G903 but not keen and want something new after just a year.
CP is something that's prevented me from hosting imaging solutions in the past, out of risk-avoidance so I've given it a lot of thought over the years. The lack of support from Cloudflare hasn't helped, and making it USA-only weakens it as a general solution. That said, I'll still run some sites via Cloudflare because I'm certain it tracks the content regardless without the mandate to enforce or alert, and that tracking may help lead to the original source [pure opinion here with hard facts, but I use CF for other reasons].
Now that I want to host fediverse things safely, it's still a concern. I'm not in the US, I'm in the UK and host in Canada. Doesn't matter greatly. They'd still take all my equipment while they investigate IF they had sufficient evidence to charge. But they WON'T because the CP is attributable to someone else. The main takeaway from all of this, for me, is to NEVER take backups of actual content, only settings/accounts. Holding archives is dangerous because only I would have access to their contents.
Defederate aggressively, block paths as needed, keep logs, don't run it from home, etc etc. Keeping records gets most folk out of sticky legal situations.
451 or 403 would be more appropriate as it's not available for legal reasons. 410 Gone would also fit well if it's a permanent block. I'd steer clear of 5xx server side because it encourages retry-later. The client has requested something not served, firmly placing it into the 4xx category. The other problem with 503 in particular is that it indicates server overload, falsely in the case of a path ban.
Anything but Moleskine because that bleeds and feathers heavily. Leuchtturm1917 adnd Clairefontaine daily, and a Cornell A5 weekly diary that seems to take virtually any ink despite being 'only' 70gsm. I veer towards 90gsm usually.
I'm half tempted to buy a 4u rackmount case and pack it with disks but I know that time tinkering should be time working and earning. DSM does have value, as far as 6.2 - I've not seen v7 yet and not bold enough to install it on an elder unit.
I can find faults in any of them, but mostly hate working with Redhat/CentOS/Fedora. Strongly prefer Debian over Ubuntu, and I strongly prefer Gentoo over Arch. SUSE is an unknown, not sure about that one.
This is great news, I've just switched to Firefox & Firefox Focus on Android as a longtime user of Mobile Chrome and Desktop Firefox. It always felt weak on mobile, but things have changed. Still hating the purple though, and the placement of the new tab button but that's a small price to pay.
It's much the same when I send .tar.gz / .tgz files. Folk get uppity about it not being .zip. I don't bother with other formats purely because I know I can expand them anywhere without installing additional software.
As for .rar, I always view them with suspicion. Dodgy.
There are UI guidelines to make apps show something however useless it might be. https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/loading
I guess most developers go for a logo rather than a spinner. Maybe they worry that folk will forget what app they tapped on?
Hardly surprising since they were acquired by Google.

I'm not sure if this is viable or too expensive, but we do like Sigma and use their lenses professionally. This has just been announced: https://camerajabber.com/sigma-launches-100-400mm-f5-6-4-dg-dn-os-c-for-fujifilm-x-mount/
It might be a bit slow at the long end though for birding, but I'm sure it'll be razor sharp.

I do hope so. Temporary things have a stickiness that makes them semi-permanent. May as well go with 418 then :o)

You nailed exactly how I feel 💯
I'm conflicted by this, I struggled to like Disco.

Sad to hear that about Hey: that was how I felt about Basecamp. It's a shame they are repeating the same mistakes.
I'm halfway between proton and fastmail, mostly because I like and trust protonvpn. It's tough to choose. For pure email, I'd pick fastmail.
That's good to know, I don't think I've had any communication about this 😕
I must have played with SUSE at some point, these words bring back horrors I'd long forgotten.

I have a fondness for BSD, if that matters.
In no particular order: Fastmail, Proton,
Outlook,iCloud,Yahoo, Gandi (free if you buy a domain), I've heard Hey is ok, but haven't used it.This is great news, I've just switched to Firefox & Firefox Focus on Android as a longtime user of Mobile Chrome and Desktop Firefox.
