mewmew07··on Fly.io Postgres cluster down for 3 days, no word from them about it
thanks for sharing your opinion, but I was looking for a reply from someone inside fly.io
mewmew07··on Fly.io Postgres cluster down for 3 days, no word from them about it
you have no idea wtf you writing about; it's been a few hours now and it's become clear that someone tagged the post as 'app-not-working, which made the post got 'private' and only available for logged-in users. it's also become apparent that the linked post in on a community forum for users without a support plan.

the dramatic tone and accusations in your reply are not warranted anymore

> will turn a blind eye everything else

incorrect

this is a throwaway and will remain so, but before the troubles people were already complaining about twitter being infested with nazis, it's just that then whatever had been done to get rid of them was undone, thus my comment

translation: al-qaeda had a twitter account before the mediocre-man with a middle-life crisis accidentally bought it. Now the nazis have accounts there.

I think some of the entries in the Inbound section will inform how to deal with spam, I saw some references to spam assassin there.

email addresses are strings, if the website where the registration is being made makes no effort to validate the email address is controlled by the user session registering it, how do you suppose to block it from happening?

locking and still charging is not proper; if you read my previous replies you'll notice they're focused on why the lockout happened

1) locking out for TOS breach very often happens without feedback, as does automatic flagging systems - no feedback on TOS breach is sometimes done when the effort to provide an explanation would expose the systems internals or considered unnecessary effort, think spam, system resource abuse, content 2) can only come up with technical reasons for that, neither serve as justification 3) see point 2

> Why do I need to justify myself here?

you don't need to

the price confusion/obscurity facilitates higher prices, none of the players on the sell side would benefit from lower margins, so they all do the same

My brother in christ, you are are a casual, and there's nothing wrong with that, but leave the serious gaming for the hardcore players.

yes, but then they removed it because no one was using it
mewmew07··on EVE Online: Add-in for MS Excel
I guess it's also true that not everyone wants to play a game where an Excel add-in is not available.

Please note, Excel is not a requirement to play EVE Online, it is only useful to have an add-in for some roles.

Further, for most popular games, Excel doesn't even make sense. Parent's request for more games to be more accessible to external tools like Excel is not a request to make Excel access your CoD game state, don't be dense.

I think this is answered in the 'Symmetric “Signatures”' section of the Cryptographic Right Answers blog post of 2018.

That's probably because you have your graphics settings set to use Unicode character space. Try lowering your setting to ASCII, or Latin-1 if you're in west Europe. For those with embedded graphics it may even be necessary to drop non-alphanumeric chars.
