Steam doesn’t want to pay arbitration fees, tells gamers to sue instead in c/[email protected]

Still, the effects benefits the consumer, so I would consider this a good thing.

Also, I wonder if we can do the same to other companies and let them revert course.

But the outcome is good for me at least and I'm satisfied.

Oh. Steam tried to rip gamers off so hard that they removed forced arbitration clauses and class action waivers from their terms of service.

Steam is a monopoly no doubt, but it's not a result of major anti-competitive behavior, but simply because others can't match it.

That's a very high degree of BCDR planning, and quite costly I assume.

If you don't put trust on someone something, you left yourself to trust and do all the works. However, you don't trust yourself either, sadly I can't offer any solutions.

Actually, this and the Signal group have zero privacy. They are all open, free-to-join groups. The encryption doesn't matter. All it need is anonymity, which I think SimpleX > Matrix > Signal.

You are welcome to audit the source code and host the backend yourself.

Malaysia's plan to block overseas DNS dies after a day, but still need to stay vigilant (www.theregister.com)
 

There are reports in Registar's comment section that Malaysia didn't only redirect DNS traffic, but took active measures to block VPN, and MITM DoH where Cloudflare's DoH returns local ISP certificate.

In fact, some ISPs like Maxis and Yes were already blocking VPN (I see a lot of complains on Lowyat.net about Maxis blocking VPN, and I was using Yes WiMax and experienced the blocking firsthand. I couldn't connect to PPTP endpoints and L2TP endpoints caused the modem to disconnect from the network and reboot).

They were outright trying a MITM redirect attack on those using DOH. Many reported error messages saying that Cloudflare's DOH server were practically returning the certificate for Telekom Malaysia's DNS servers.

Even with many new technologies, I ralized that I not as safe and free as I want to be, maybe you too.

If $70 +$10/mo can get me through all those annoying CAPCHAs, I will gladly pay. Of course, if cheaper or even free solutions exists, I will use it. My only requirement is it work 90%+ of the time.

Consequences of a mail server offline? (lemmy.ml)

Just wonder what if my mail server went offline for some periods, and the sending party couldn't deliver.

Will there be any consequences except I don't get the mail? I tried searching but they all in the perspective of a sender and get a bounce, rather the other way around.

Saw they have promotion £1/mo without setup when paid for a 12mo contract for the lowest end VPS. Anyone use it before?

Just planning to run frp on it. https://github.com/fatedier/frp

Lesson learnt: don't ever buy an used server from Quanta

Also, isn't Epyc have an efuse that will pair it with the mobo?

Shall we trust LM defining legal definitions, deepfake in this case? It seems the state rep. is unable to proof read the model output as he is "really struggling with the technical aspects of how to define what a deepfake was."
