and seeding seems to work for me.

You can only seed to people who have ports open. At least one side of the connection needs to be reachable.

It’s people like me who keep ports available that are able to seed to you.

Divorce and child custody agreements are two separate legal things and child custody agreements are thankfully not a matter of public record.

And yet I was able to pull my parents Divorce from decades ago and in those documents were details about who has rights to me… I think this is likely a state by state thing. Though my name was never directly mentioned.

Each one of these events is easily shown to have good merits for being public record. Even ignoring the obvious case of “we want to track what the police/courts were actually doing”.

Traffic accidents

Occurs in front of your property and cause some amount of damage to your stuff that officers didn’t outline in any reports. You want to be able to figure out who did it so you can send them the bill/sue them. Hiding these records doesn’t make sense. Other obvious uses would be to find out where someone went/is missing, eg if someone died.

traffic citations

You’re attempting to hire someone for a job, part of that job is some amount of driving. Being able to lookup if they have any record of driving poorly would be due diligence you’d expect a company to do. Hell getting into an Uber or Lyft… You might want to lookup your driver. You could be surprised.

bankruptcies

Hire someone to do something related to finances in your company? Or to file your taxes? Might want to actually double check they’re not idiots on their own dime either. Someone asks you for a loan, or any other financial related stuff. Records of them defaulting are important.

buying a house

Your dog ran up to me and bit me, then ran away. Being able to get the property details can be highly important.

getting divorced

Can trigger a number of things. If divorce has any kid related issues… and one parent no longer has rights to the child… Schools/doctors can validate that one parent no longer has those rights without just blindly trusting random documents one parent provides.

If putin throws a dud nuclear weapon out, would that stop us from nuking them?

No. Because retaliatory missiles would be fired long before the “dud” landed. I can guarantee that any missile leaving any known nuclear site would illicit a response. The only hesitation would be “where is it heading?”. After that though… it’s fair game.

now find out why America doesn’t have universal health care?”

Fucking wish America would stop being the worlds police.

When the orders are “come with us, or we kill your family” backed up by, “they did it to the next town over, and 1/4 of the town is now dead or on a train to a camp”. Yes. They were following orders.

Deserting is always an option, and the most ethical one

If you were caught deserting you were killed. And your family often killed as well.

If you were called to conscript and failed to appear. SS would visit your home. You either went with them or was killed… or your family killed. It may be the most “ethical” in your eyes… but these decisions are hard and come with a lot of strife and pain.

Source: First hand account from a conscripted German. Aka my grandfather, who was lucky enough to be conscripted in the very end of the war and DID manage to get a way with desertion only due to that luck. I have family which accounts were documented of the SS killing them for even mentioning that the SS did something inhumane ( a great-uncle of mine).

It reviewed itself and found no fault. Never goes wrong, don’t you know?

But editing code running on your computer should be protected as well… I’m personally pretty torn on this one. Ultimately I think that server-side is the only real answer.

Well… No offense… but duh? It’s not like OP can migrate his spouses “Spouse@gmail.com” address to his mail server.

I was under the assumption (and I could be wrong) that OP owns the domain… And wants to run their mailboxes. If she wants to keep her own mailbox and use it, just forward it to her gmail if that’s what she wants. I’m also not insinuating forcing someone into something.

I own my domain(you guessed correctly) and host my own emails. My spouse does use an inbox on my server(actually a few)… If she didn’t want to anymore she can open a mailbox where-ever she wants… and I’ll even forward whatever I get to her. That’s it. Wouldn’t stop me from running my own inbox on my own server. And I’m not forcing her to do anything at all. She can use it or not.

This is the mentality I have when I made the previous comments. Just forward her stuff off, she can go wherever she wants.

Until the basement floods and the server goes offline for a few days

That’s what backups are for.

or botched upgrade that’s failing quietly;

See above

over zealous spam assassin configuration;

That’s an assumption that you’re using this specific product.

What’s funny is you think that all of this can’t happen to your stuff on Google’s servers either for some reason… Say the wrong thing in a Youtube comment? Boom whole google profile banned. All your emails are gone too.

Or random software that interfaces poorly with each other (https://support.google.com/mail/thread/142335843/all-of-my-emails-have-disappeared-how-can-i-recover-them?hl=en)

SMTP is stupidly forgiving. You’re not going to magically lose singular emails.

But one thing is for sure, my wife won’t have any of it. She’s a total backwards thinking give me windows or I’ll jump kind of Gal.

So… forward her inbox to her personal gmail account? Keep your mail server as it was for you?

Can you provide the ruling?

As far as I understand it was simply an “agreement”. Not a legal decision/ruling. Nothing stops M$ from appealing it regardless with this new information. And pointing to MacOS and Android and asking why they’re not being enforced the same way.

And just because a current ruling OR agreement is in place. Doesn’t mean they don’t want to do it. They can easily just make the process harder for those that want Kernel access which could still have the same effect.

Games - Nah that’ll continue on as it has, some get cracked and some don’t, it is what it is.

with Crowdstrike and other considerations… M$ already wants to close kernel access to their systems. This will make most DRM ineffective. I think games in specific will become significantly easier to crack in the near future.

Especially as linux handhelds continue to catch on and do their thing.

So sad that the fold isn’t on this list yet.

My dude, have you ever been on a flight that’s only 20 minutes?

yes.

I haven’t even gone throufh an airport terminal in only 20 minutes.

Good thing I said nothing about time in the terminal and was only talking about flights.

Sounds like you’re exactly the person that needs this policy then.

Eh if it’s 20 minutes flights it might not be enough for those who magically can’t control themselves while drunk.

Just another policy that would hurt people who can actually exert some form of control over themself.

Oftentimes that comes out of department budgets. That’s not necessarily 100% tuition funded.

Edit: meaning printer stuff… my department had our own photocopy machine. It was a department asset.

You’d need every airport to be in on the same system… otherwise you’ll end up with 2 drinks at phx, 2 drinks at atl, and 2 drinks at jfk.
