I’ve been on Namecheap for years.

The “hard no” list is GoDaddy, Network Solutions, and anything owned by EIG. They are literally the worst. Probably Ionos (formerly 1&1) too.

It’s going to be deliciously ironic if actual leftists use this to get air time

If they were that interested, why would they push encryption at all?

I doubt that that’s actually required to finish encryption.

Yeah, just don’t enable key upload and this can’t happen. Don’t link your account either if you want to be more sure.

If your account has already been linked, unlink it and change the bitlocker keys, both regular and recovery. (Easiest way is to entirely decrypt and reencrypt the drive.)

Well this isn’t directly related to those, so maybe some derision is warranted.

Any operation that will require environmental cleanup should be required to pay a deposit or bond or insurance or something, before they’re allowed to start operating. Anyone who operates without one should be personally liable.

It’s not stupidity. The people behind Project 2025 are competent. All of this is intentional.

What would you use if you wanted it hot and sticky?

It’s probably still possible.

You know you can install one pretty easily, right?

There are a couple options. You could present some storage and mount it over nfs. Move the whole server, as you mentioned. Set up a little http server and only put the media over there.

Or, why not take this opportunity to move away from a platform whose CEO is hostile and abusive to the community? https://techcrunch.com/2025/01/12/wordpress-vs-wp-engine-drama-explained/

Not all sql. A lot is files on disk too, but you should be able to do a backup and restore of all of Wordpress.

They are this close to raiding churches: https://www.ewtnnews.com/world/us/minnesota-ice-catholic-church

They deported the church’s maintenance guy and loitered at the church to intimidate the rest of the parishioners.

They picked their cities very carefully.

Yeah there are plenty of sites that have pretrained characters chatbots, or you can instruct a generic LLM to talk like someone.

But that doesn’t fix the problems of companies abusing resources to create and run these systems.
