But SuperWhisper is free with Parakeet as a local model?

Can you divulge more on the issue?

Only curious as a developer and dev op. It's all quite interesting where and how things go wrong especially with large deployments like Anthropic.

I too use iCloud mail and mine is reporting all green on that report.

Except for my mail formatting but who cares..

Yeah not seeing it either, both images say, only you can see this..

Feels more like it generated more than the user asked for and now it’s just showing those images in their feed.

As an Australian who has driven in the US. I miss this so badly… Although for us it’ll be left on right.

Being upside down doesn’t help either.

IPv4 availability is low, IPv6 isn’t implemented everywhere.

My ISP don’t hand them out and charge per IPv4 if you want static at a lovely $10 per month. And they don’t have IPv6 implemented..

Since you’re already using Cloudflare why did you choose tailscale over Cloudflares WARP?

You don’t even need to go that far in most cases just mentioning it would get you on the right track.

Sri Lanka, what a beautiful island. I visited in 2020. It was definitely one of my most memorable travels.

The train trip from Colombo to Anuradhapura to Jaffna in third class was so much fun. The people of Sri Lanka are very welcoming. And the food… yum.

Hello from Sydney Australia.

We’ve got some beautiful weather here today (Sunday)! I just went for a surf with my beautiful wife while the grandparents walked our 6 month old around the beach.

I wish the world was a peaceful as our time in the water.

No mention of the 3 existing email address limit per user on this article makes me sad...

dan_wood — Sat, 05 Feb 2022 23:18:09 +0000

You’re right it’s only just been rolled out but it’s missing so much fundamental stuff..

I want to make the switch, but I can’t yet. The lack of email lists “groups” is just holding me back. I have about 20 of them. I also have about 15 aliases…

It feels like it’s the beginning of Email…

dan_wood — Sat, 05 Feb 2022 21:49:17 +0000

No they don’t and it’s a maximum of three email addresses per user.

Looking at it they don’t allow for “groups” or aliases either.

It feels years behind.

Hmm good point, I haven't had any complaints for awhile. Maybe I'll look into it again see what happens.

Thanks for the heads up :)

I don't think OVH is viable in this case, they do mitigate the attack but in my personal experience they also mitigate legit traffic during the attack.

Mind you, this is a process using a single port, with only around 100 active connections. You'll easily see half if not more lose connection during a DDoS attack.
