I still think 90% of what made UO unique is the fact there was no Google or central repository of expert knowledge. Yes, UOStratics existed, but it wasn't perfect. A lot of the fun was in the fact basically nobody knew the BEST way to play, and therefore everyone was just doing whatever they thought was fun.

This is an extremely widespread issue. I send close to a million emails per month across dozens of different providers (all newsletters.) These are all from high reputation domains and email accounts. We are completely unable to make anything happen with Microslop. It is infuriating.

Just buy one and remove the SIM card.

This is cool. My first into to a practical application of Linux in the early 2000s was using Damn Small Linux to recover files off of cooked Windows Machines. I looked up the project the other day while reminiscing and thought it would be interesting if someone took a real shot at reviving the spirit of the project.

If you ask to borrow $500 and I give it to you, and you run off with the money with no intent to ever pay me back, did you commit fraud? Or was I just a rube who should have known better?

You seem to wish to live in a zero trust world model where everyone is out to scam everyone at all times and "caveat emptor" if you do get scammed. We should do our best as a society to not turn into that.

I think ruining thousands of lives through fraud without remorse constitutes a threat to society. He should never see the light of day again.

I could buy a whole off lease fully deprcriated server and a year of colo with a gig link for under $4,000, yes. I would almost certainly see better performance than any cloud provider can give me too.

Central Austin corridor (35) is radically worse than anything in the bay.

Keep in mind that they’re in Far East Austin and you could easily commute in from any of the satellite cities with a very reasonable commute.

Check out the “unclebens” subreddit. You order spores and spray them into an instant rice bag. Lots of advice and guidance there. Spores are perfectly legal to ship and buy.

Texas Monthly has a strong political agenda over anything else. They don't do much serious reporting other than overly dramatic fluff stories.

Quest has had serious supply chain problems since early November. They were unavailable for the entire month of December.
