Oh, I think you’ll find the US can cause plenty of problems for Canada. You even developed your own MAGA there for a moment, and your government is fighting it’s own struggle with far-right conservatives. You think you didn’t catch that disease from us?

Right‽ OP’s obviously not a Flintstones expert.

The Flintstonemobile was a perpetual motion device: it took effort to get going, but once it was going, it just went.

You know, the swastika existed long before Nazis; see https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/卍#Translingual . You associating it with Nazis is a you problem.

The issue, of course, is that appropriation is a real thing and change common and popular perception is symbolism. Red baseball caps have been appropriated by MAGA, and aggressively used to symbolize support for a particular cult.

We’re humans, dude. Everything we do in communication is symbolism, with subtext, connotations, and implications. Red baseball caps symbolize MAGA now to most people in the USA, whether you like it or not.

I miss the old days, before you had to worry about spam.

I’m not OP, and I have everything set up fine now; Mailcow would replace what I currently have with the same software components, so I don’t see any value there - for myself.

Something like Maddy is completely at odds with the Unix philosophy, and yet I’ve fought enough with postfix to dislike it enough to want to try an all-in-one. I dread the DKIM setup, though; that took so much time, and the mail server configuration wasn’t the hard part. Maybe now I’ve got it configured for my domains, switching email server software will be easier.

I was going to ask if anyone had experience with Maddy, which is an all-in-one solution I’ve been eyeballing for a while.

Getting DKIM and postfix set up correctly was such a PITA, and then dovecot, I’m nervous about having to go through all that again and fretting about accidentally configuring an open relay, so I haven’t tried it yet. But it looks nice, and has been around for a couple of years.

Get. Out. Really? So, if you shoplift a greeting card when you’re in your teens, you have to keep looking over your shoulder and expect a knock on your door even when you’re 80?

Sadly, no.

It does if you do it a lot and then resell it. Which is what happened to a bunch of people in the days of Napster, and is exactly what these fuckers are doing.

Close enough. East coast.

Yeah, I think you’re right; his photo album is all … not US.

Nephila occur globally, but I always thought there were significant regional differences. But, as I said, that looks exactly like the ones in Pennsylvania.

Where are you located?

Arrests? Like for other copyright violators?

Oh, lordy. This is a fight I really hope happens. Meta vs the combined DMCA lobby.

Ohpleaseohpleaseohplease

Definitely Nephila. Golden Orb Weavers like this are common in the mid-Atlantic. We had one that looked exactly like this living in a boxwood bush in our front yard in Pennsylvania. Enormous, and beautiful.

I’m betting OP is in North America, probably East coast.

Huh. After looking at their other pics, it does look like they don’t live in the US. You may be right on the genus, but darned if that doesn’t look exactly like our lady.

Yeah, I guess. I also forgot about that low-code/no-code fad that went around a few years ago. I’ll bet some companies are still stuck with those shitty decisions.

It looks more realistic than the original.

He had camouflage on.

Anyway, who knows what PTSD does to a Grouch, anyway? Maybe it makes 'em change color.

Shit, there have been times when I’ve just hot-spotted my desktop through my phone.

Really? Or did you add the ripples? I can’t tell if you’re joking. You just be.

We’re getting soft. Back in the old days, why, we’d dig up the old bastard and rebury him in non-consecrated ground! That’d teach him.

Symmetry is a contravention to chaos, so you may have something there - independent of the spiritual aspect, which you are of course free to believe.
