Honestly, not all that bad. A lot of the spam is just the stuff from companies we gave our email, y’know, the usual.
There’s the occasional spam/scam email, every few days at most, but it’s pretty ignorable.
(we did set up rspamd purely for DKIM signing, and it might be filtering our inbound email, I don’t know.)
Or non-humanoid animal, thankyouverymuch!

Well, you ARE normal! With the right people!

And then you have Mac, which uses powers of 10 consistently for file sizes, IIRC! Which IMO is also a totally cromulent way to go about it.
Some Linux file managers can be configured to use base 10. I think Dolphin has a super secret config file tweak you can do. There’s no UI setting for it though. It defaults to base 2.

There’s also other reasons to run a reverse proxy! Like for instance “you want to run multiple web services, but they’d both need port 443 and clobber each other”. So you can stick the reverse proxy on port 443 and then have it pass stuff to your various backends.
That’s actually a situation where you could avoid the reverse proxy with more machines (one per service), rather than less!

GiB is powers of two, GB can be either depending on context, IMO.

Wait no, haha oops.

Oh we make lots of random little one-offs!

Nah, not really.
Hi, I use a permissive license for my stuff so that other open source devs can use it in their projects even if they disagree on the details of licensing opinions.
That doesn’t make me some kind of liberal/centrist/“not a Real Free Software Person™”.
Sure, that also gives companies the ability to use it in proprietary stuff, but they’re not gonna be interested in it and there’s a good chance they’d just blatantly ignore the license anyway (see: the “AI training” shit).
Anarchism vs. communism might be a better analogy.

Yeah, a lot of my stuff is public domain actually! (I like the Unlicense! it’s public domain + a fallback “do anything, no conditions” license because some jurisdictions are weird about the whole concept of public domain stuff.)
The license is what makes it possible to legally distribute the source code, or use it in other stuff.
Without that, the source code is still legally considered proprietary and the author could sue you if you distribute it to other people, or modify it and distribute modified versions. Even if they made it publicly available!
– Frost
Actually, without a license, they can’t legally do that but nobody else can use your code either!
(Nothing’s stopping them from doing it illegally, license or no. Which is why I personally tend to default to permissive licenses myself. I’m more concerned with open-source cross-license compatibility than about corporations stealing the code for our little projects.)

Because if Android just becomes iOS But Worse, what’s even the point of using it instead of iOS?

Nobody’s preventing it really. There’s a difference between top-down censorship and cultural “we don’t do that here”.
Yeah! And thank you for asking, and not just assuming! =^.^=
Only if they consider themselves trans.
I’m nonbinary and not trans! People have tried to declare to me that nonbinary people are inherently trans. No. I will bite them. :V

Tracking where people click or hover their cursor sounds kinda creepy honestly. Like, why do you even need to know that stuff?
Doing it entirely yourself and not involving e.g. Google is infinitely better than Google, yeah, but it’s still pretty creepy and still worth blocking.

Ah, a buttler.

I don’t know if this helps at all, but you actually don’t need to buy a new drive! You can install Linux next to Windows on the same drive, it works perfectly fine.
(You will need something to put the installer on though, and USB sticks do cost money, so.)
