Did you live?!

Not sure

Statistically, flying on a 737MAX is safer than driving -- by such a huge margin that it isn't even funny.

The news cycle, on the other hand, is feeding hysteria because clicks. Seriously, more people die driving to and from the airport than they do on planes. By a huge margin. But because they're spread out into multiple tiny events...

I know, I was just kidding, of course. OTOH, for some unknown reason I'm slightly afraid of traveling by plane (generally speaking), so I avoid reading about these stuff at all. These "news" only enhance my irrational fear.

Not an expert, but AFAICT email self hosting is not considered a good idea, as the maintenance of an email server requires a lot of work. An alternative could be using Cloudflare for the DNS and set up email routing (for free).

True, I forgot about that.

Just discovered that my flight on 7/1 was a MAX. Oh well...

  1. Check out afraid.org and learn how to set up DDNS.
  2. I've been using afraid.org for a long time with no issues. I don't know IPQuick.
  3. Real domains can be REALLY cheap if you don't need something fancy. Just go to https://tld-list.com/ and sort for "cheapest renewal".

I understand that. Unfortunately, though, one has to expect always the worst from Corps, no matter how "good" they appear to be at the beginning.

Yeah, that's an offer a man can't refuse.

never give a corporation your labour for free.

People should have known this from the beginning.

Nice way to deflect the discussion, using the "bigotry card" is what Mozilla's fans love to play.

You know, I think even people who are politically at my antipodes have a right to a job and a salary. But whatever. Have a nice day.
