<p>Be very careful with bisync, it is experimental and perhaps the most fragile part of rclone.

<p>I hadn't thought of this use case for aliases.<p>I had to make my Outlook email primary again on my Microsoft account, unfortunately, because of how I use OneDrive. I send people share invitations and there are scenarios (or at least there were the last time I checked) where sending invitations from the primary account email is the only way to deliver the invite. If your external email alias is primary, they'll attempt to send an email from Outlook's servers that spoofs the alias email :/</p>

<p>I tend to think that this challenge posed by "mixed" domains, partly unobjectionable but partly inappropriate, will only become more prevalent. A couple of thoughts:<p>1. Filtering at the DNS level will never be enough. You'll always need to have the capability for the browser or user agent to do filtering, since the user agent has the context to know the full URI as well as other things needed for filtering. The OS admin (parent, school IT admin etc) will need to be able to block all user agents except the ones that have the reporting and filtering capabilities tuned to the admin's requirements. This is the direction Windows is heading, but it is <i>very</i> rough.<p>2. I wonder if more domains could do what Google, Bing, Youtube etc do and permit a safe version to be requested at the DNS level. I personally would like to be able to do so with Reddit, Twitter and more.</p>

<p>Another site, which includes a smaller but more professionally curated set of recordings, is Lit2Go (<a href="https://etc.usf.edu/lit2go/books/" rel="nofollow">https://etc.usf.edu/lit2go/books/</a>). My children and I for example have greatly enjoyed Lorraine Montgomery’s recording of “Curly and Floppy Twistytail”, a series of delightful nonsense stories performed with gusto. (<a href="https://etc.usf.edu/lit2go/183/curly-and-floppy-twistytail-the-funny-piggie-boys/" rel="nofollow">https://etc.usf.edu/lit2go/183/curly-and-floppy-twistytail-t...</a>) They’re not all aimed at children either, high quality recordings of Dracula, David Copperfield, etc</p>

<p>One important note:<p>> Does this affect content from music and photo libraries?<p>> The announced changes for remote streaming of personal content from a Plex Media Server apply only to movie/TV/video media. This does not affect music or photo streaming to our dedicated Plexamp and Plex Photos apps.<p>If I'm reading right, users like me who primarily use it for music and audiobooks (via the Prologue app) are not affected.</p>

<p>Exactly. The stakes of the conversation are quite high. Innocent people could suffer real harms.<p>Professional norms exist to support people in taking responsibility for the power they have. The CEO is manifestly failing in his responsibilities.</p>

<p>Thanks for making yourself available to answer questions! Hopefully this is not a dumb question.<p>Is plc.directory a single point of failure for BlueSky users who want to take advantage of the benefits of a did:plc? And if so, is that a permanent thing or down the road will there be multiple interoperating did:plc directories?</p>
