That’s fair, and people will use things different than the intention of the thing if it suits them. My point was more to highlight that you cannot group all things where buying and selling happen as “marketplaces” and expect the same protections/moderation etc.
This new tool is to replace the local ads/garage sale like equivalents with something self hosted. EBay is not one of these, regardless of how people choose to use it. As an auction site it is on a different level in both functional and legal experience. You cannot expect that from Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace Kijiji, or you local newspaper ads or garage sales.

But a classified ad site is not a marketplace, and that’s where we need to be mindful of the distinction.
- Comment on flohmarkt a federated alternative to ebay and facebook marketplace 4 days ago:
EBay is an exception here, its also not a classified ads site.
EBay is an auction house. Auction houses have stricter rules.
Classified ads is you grandma posting her VCR for sale, or selling your used boat locally. Its a parallel to a newspaper classified section. There has never been any control on sites like this other than “buyer beware”. Craigslist, Kijiji and Facebunk Marketplace are all classified ad equivalents and have zero guarantee or protections usually.
Given these are meant to be local ads, the onus is on the buyer to go to the sellers house and verify what they are buying.

Its encrypted at rest, so good luck, but you still have to worry about this from your provider. You have to also worry about if they would even tell you if they knew that was happening, and you have to worry about what they are doing on top of that.
I have a single layer to worry about, and likely going to solve that with moving the mail storage to a home server and only having the postfix mail-exchanger in the cloud.

I pay $300 for 3 years with SSD nodes.
I never have to worry about the company hosting my mail going corrupt, being sold, or being coerced into giving access to my data without just cause.
You undervalue the cost of maintaining the trust with a provider
- Comment on What if we were *just a lil evil*? 1 week ago:
Been running my own server for 15 years. I need to put about 20 hours maintenance a year in for updates. I have the whole thing automated as a helm chart using PVCs with cert-manager for auto-renewal and the node just runs k3s as a single node.
That’s a lot of extra layers, but the layer of seperation between the host and the services makes it very easy to automate all the pain away.

My guess is there may also be an H, for Light, Regular and Heavy flow. Besides size its what they are usually designed for.

Ok, good tip. I’ll try that out and see if I can enjoy it more.

US and … maybe Israel? Those are the two countries that use the US “Simple English” while the rest of us know what a U is for and how to say Z… so if they also both used F that would track.
- Comment on Big Surprise—Nobody Wants 8K TVs 4 weeks ago:
I like 4k for documentarys ans cinematic shows, but Ill never watch something like TNG or Jessica Jones on 4k again. Takes all the magic away, feels like you’re standing next to the camera guy - suddenly I just see an actor in room and the immersion is broken.

This. Its a bit slow but the auto import is a life save and the app is really nice with the ability to easily scale the portions or keep the screen awake.

Such painfully obvious AI. Hot water lines from your municipality… yikes. The amount of heat and energy loss for piping hot water, not to mention the excess heat abnormally warming soil temps… wtf.

Huh… FileFlows does a lot more than video and music though… interesting.
- Comment on My latest hyperfixation 1 month ago:
I haven’t seen that one. Tdarr used to be more work to get going with classic plugins, but with Flows its really intuitive and I’ve codified my flows into the helm chart I deploy it with so I don’t need to think about it. Its all in git and commented well.

That is how I do it yes. As much as feasibly possible. I do really miss the local PC shops and electronics stores… sadly my options for that stuff now are Staples, Best Buy and Amazon…
- Comment on Steam Users Rally Behind Anti-Censorship Petition 2 months ago:
Unfortunately rich and developed countries with an iron grip on the markets by a few billionaires that control them you see. They ensure our options are limited.
Canadians have very limited choices in terms of services. Even our grocery store shelves are bought out by major corps and local options struggle to get their products on the shelves.
As another example, our banks have no interpayment systems outside the interac system, and they have no standard apis for payment services. So things like apps for managing budgets involve downloading a csv after our billing date passes and a lot of manual work. Most banks offer their own budget apps and they only work with their services.
We have effectively have 3 phone and internet providers… or little guys that resell access to the big 3.
The monopoly man won the game in Canada.
