Thanks for the heads up. I just cancelled my subscription. I had premium but $23 per month is ridiculous.

Thanks for the reply! After I wrote that I had another look at the context in which you posted your comment and realized I had misunderstood your meaning. That was why I deleted it. I can definitely appreciate that a very large instance will have higher operating costs and that people shouldn’t be mooches. Cheers!

This post was the first I heard of it too. I would have liked to have been counted.
- Comment on FCC details plan to restore the net neutrality rules repealed by Ajit Pai 1 year ago:
That’s my understanding as well. The current initiative is far more limited in scope, and pays back students who were defrauded by scam schools.
- Comment on Which domain name registrar should I use? 1 year ago:
If you’re in the US and care about domain privacy, don’t get a .us domain. .us domains are specifically forbidden from using domain privacy.

Sweet reductio ad absurdum, bro. Chef’s kiss.
- Comment on FTC judge rules Intuit broke law, must stop advertising TurboTax as “free” 1 year ago:
Seconded! I’ve had them suggest cards only to be rejected. If you want to find out if you’re pre-qualified you’re better off going to the source with sites like this:

- Comment on What’s the best printer in terms of no DRM/Open source 1 year ago:
A little off topic from your DRM/open source query, but since so many people are praising brother, in my opinion they are ruining their printers due to the jacked up toner cost. It’s not even just brother. Basically all the greedy printer manufacturers have all but ruined affordable laser printing. Years ago you could buy a brother printer for a reasonable cost that used toner that cost about a penny per page to print. They shrank the toner cartridges but didn’t reduce the cost so it’s not uncommon to speed a few cents a page on toner these days. Compare that with the current ink tank options and you’ll find the cost is way lower at around $.002 per page. The biggest trade off in my opinion is that you have to print to them regularly or they clog up and they are slower, but they are definitely a better value.
TL DR: greedy printer manufacturers ruined laser printers. Buy an ink tank printer instead until they ruin inkjets again.
- Comment on YSK: There's a website with seemingly never ending offers on VPS. 1 year ago:
I can’t speak to Racknerd, but I have used a couple VPS from Ethernet Servers and they are a great value. I have a single core VPS with 3 GB RAM and 100 GB SSD for $25 per year, and another with higher specs I pay more for.
- Comment on Kevin Mitnick, the world’s ‘most wanted’ hacker before becoming a cybersecurity consultant, dies at 59 1 year ago:
Kevin Mitnick was truly legendary. I particularly respect the fact that he reportedly never stole a dime from anyone, and that he ultimately used his skills for good. His services helped protect many people including government entities from hacking attacks. The world lost a great man too soon.
