Or a manky Signal clone with backdoors transmitting everything in plain text…

Wouldn’t the authentication API provided by your DNS host be the ACME server?

Yeah. For wildcard DNS from letsencrypt, you can’t do HTTP validation, only DNS, which involves creating a TXT record.

Your DNS provider needs to run an ACME server, which runs an API that’ll add the required TXT records on request.

As I understand it.

Not all dns providers support acme, I’ve discovered to my recent annoyance. The one I use at work, for instance.

Down 5% today, not super stable. Could have been a dead cat bounce last week.

ED! ED IS THE STANDARD!

Remember it spawning a bunch of copycats? For a while every community had their own code block. I wrote one for a usenet group i was in at the time.

alt.sysadmin and alt.sysadmin.recovery both had em iirc…

Nah. I’ll die on that particular hill.

You forgot to end your sentence with ‘lol’. At least be consistent with your bad English.

That image is 100% the academic quadrangle at Simon Fraser University. Hah.

We had taglines and bbs signatures. Those were pretty similar.

I get the need for them, to pay for shared building services. Strata fees pay for exercise rooms, pools, grounds maintenance, whatever. I 100% am behind them, as long as the Strata council is responsive to needs and not corrupted, but there’s the rub.

I’d generally be happier with few services and low strata fees tho.

Yeah. I’m pretty much resigned to living in our rental until we get renovicted. No kids, double income, a lot of savings… but the mortgage payments would be way more than it’s worth to have a minor upgrade. Strata payments alone are often more than our rent!

Not Vancouver. Nothing that size would go less than 2 million until you hit Coquitlam. MAYBE.

I’ve found that changing my email address works better than unsubscribe sometimes. Just change it to a tagged address and set up a filter. Shields you against future sales as well.

All the Trump emails go rbos+fucktrump now. Probably a hundred a day. Unsubscribe did not work.

Also, Canadian. Incompetent jerks.

I’ve been using rspamd for a while. It may be extensible to do token based classification like you want but it may take some work.

I’m hoping that Nebula, being run as a coop, will avoid much of that ‘growth at any cost’ mindset.

I didn’t say it was. I watch Youtube as well. Do not put words in my mouth.

This is a perfect example of someone saying “I like beans” and someone responding “WELL YOU MUST HATE TOMATOES THEN YOU NAZI LOVER” or something. :P

It can work out financially - I don’t know how they do it specifically, but suppose they put all the lifetime subs into one investment pool and used the interest on that to fund operations.

$300 can generate $20 per year for them. So I benefit by only having to pay once, and they benefit by getting a chunk up front instead of having it drip out over time.

Up front cash can also mean the ability to invest in larger things. They can put it into infra budget instead of ops budget.

Nebula is really good. I just bought a lifetime sub. Expensive but pays itself back in only a few years. Plus the creators there run it as a coop that has a takeover poison pill of some kind.
