Problem is, people rarely realize the importance until they’re lost. Plenty of posts from 90s and 2000s containing valuable insights are probably lost forever. Remember that not everything online is in English, either.


I’m aware cock.li is for the meme edgelords, but what about purelymail?


I would have to find a way to keep them on without needing a battery inserted.



I suspect something involving law enforcement or legal. Still would love if LW admins updated on this.


Sigh. At least the benefits of federation include being free to move into other instances while LW can pull stuff like this (probably because they get the heat from being the largest instance).



Makes sense. I’m happy with my current provider but purelymail is a strong candidate for if I’m out of options.


Info please? All I’ve seen were offers around ~10 usd minimum for renewal.


Gandi’s case hurts me. I had been paying for years but they kept raising their prices like dragonball z power levels.


I was very tempted to go for this one, but couldn’t find info on whether this was a one-man operation or if there are any disaster recovery plans. Sounds cruel, but if that one single guy my email depends on gets hit by a bus…


You mean those websites that instead of email input fields there are multiple horizontal stripes saying “Login with Google” and such?

I hate them, too… but I suppose it’s for the mobile crowd that don’t make distinctions between sms, fb/whatsapp messages, and email altogether.

I wonder if all those gmail accounts will be seen like yahoo addresses one day.


Be careful OP that after first year you have to pay the ‘renew’ price, which is generally higher than ‘register’ price. A lot of cheap domain offers use that trick expecting users to become attached to their domains.



User claims to have made a website using chatgpt, putting programmers out of their jobs. However, it’s revealed user knows next to nothing about making that website accessible for others, as revealed from the last line. User sent a local link (that works for their own computer only) to their friend (which naturally shouldn’t work).


Thankfully not even Gmail could become a walled garden since it’s expected for a decent company to have its own domain (and email address).



So the question is: why was it designed this way? Why can’t we bypass the battery to power up the device from the charging cable alone?



I couldn't get past "Firewalled" stage when I tried i2p. Too slow for me back then.


Emphasis on “in some cases, these unauthorized copies are the only record of a given play”. This already happened with radio/television, and will happen with all sort of digital media as future historians scramble to study the late 20th century and early 21st century’s internet culture.


There has to be a more elegant way of dealing with this in the future, like de-coupling between Lemmy-account hosting (which effectively means acitivypub-fediverse account) and Lemmy-communities hosting.
