fcgi tends to be overlooked

Indeed, it's a foothold into a network.

I'm fairly concerned that at some point in the future is will be almost zero-cost to include eSIM with devices and we'll have virtually no way to prevent devices from working as discovery for advert targeting.

Office 2003 is a terrible example, office is a product that deliberately makes one part worse on each "upgrade" so that the consumer has a reason to upgrade to another release.

PCWorld in 2009 declined to split the laptop and OS. They offered to refund the whole purchase, but that would obviously leave me without a laptop.

Utterly pointless waste of time. If I see a vendor offering Linux/FreeDOS, I buy that.

If you've had any success in the UK getting a refund, please correct me, but I think time is probably better spent writing to the MP about it as the consumer should have choice when the options are MS or Apple.

It seems putting anything on the web that allows submit is screaming to get spammed these days. Is there any sort of spam filter that's worth using?

Fine, but you have the invest in the CPU to determine if the payment was made. That's a cost on you, not the scraper. If the scraper bangs on that payment door 1000x you've spent a fair chunk of CPU looking for valid cookies, query the redis/valkey and DB to manage payment auth.

You're not wrong, it is time the scraper pays, but you're going to have to fund it still.

I don't claim to have a better answer.

I want a perfect solution that is free, putting pages up used to be free, now it isn't.

Been self-hosting my own mail since '99.

Delivery isn't the problem, just people don't use mail as much as they used to. Most people reach for signal or whatsapp to communicate. Most mail is order confirmations. So don't really care if people can't get mail, it isn't the primary communication tool for most people like it used to me.

Yep for the web they worked better. I don't remember midi files getting as close to popular music as mods did. Then mp3 happened and you could download an MP3 in about quarter of an hour in that era. You could hear a midi though in the browser, but mod wasn't as convenient.

This is more a limitation on the architecture - virtually nobody has power arch hanging around to play on.

I would say use flickr, but that's shitified now.

pkill -9 -f '(chrome|firefox)' is my rage quit, it's like hanging up but hitting the keys on the keyboard as hard as you'd throw the phone down
