Vimeo is not for the same purpose. It's more B2B. I read somewhere that after a certain threshold they start billing you for views.

It's just a crude thing to say. If we say crude things out on the Internet for all to see, then we're being crude and that reflects on our character. Just try to be good that's all.

I have no complaints. It's nearly perfect device to me.

Well, all sewer water requires treatment before it's used again but this water doesn't go into the sewer, it's evaporative cooling so it goes into the air.

I would have expected that the ad supported Spotify would have still worked. There is still a free tier.

I was highlighing the absurdity of the fee structure.

To expand on what I said in my second comment, the tax was probably created by the government to serve a relevant purpose that I don't know about. I trust that there is a reason for the tax. The fact that it was being applied inappropriately to customers was the absurd part. It's like an electric vehicle being taxed for highway tailpipe emissions.

The article had an estimate from the DoE. Idk, be mad about it if you want. LED bulbs aren't perfect but what is.

"As the rules reinforce existing market changes, the Energy Department believes that U.S. consumers can save almost $3 billion annually on their utility bills. Similarly, it projects that the rules could cut carbon emissions by 222 million metric tons over the next 30 years."

This is exactly what I was getting at. There are so many considerations and they clearly put some thought into the exception list even though the reasons may not be readily apparent. The order is not a small step in the right direction it's a significant step in the right direction and the impact on actual electricity usage is going to be massive.

I'm not sure why you have downvotes. I found this out a few years back and was also disappointed for the same reason. I believe PFAS are also found in some backcountry ski skin waxes which was even more disappointing to me.

Ah, change origin IP in addition to cloudflare. Yes, that makes sense I thought you were only recommending changing the IP.

What happens tomorrow? Change the IP again? And again? It's not a long term solution.

We don't need the bandwidth. We need the physical PRI circuits for our legacy PBX. We will be migrated off by September for sure. The price is more than tripled after the circuits were deregulated.
