I mean, I’d ban this person too. They basically showed up to spam their project, then evaded bans repeatedly.

41·2 months agoYeah, this thread has me reconsidering and thinking I should just embed the cost in shipping.

135·2 months agoThose 2% were covered by the 3rd party insurance, and I send out replacements right away instead of waiting for the insurance to do their thing.
Yep you’re well within your right to do a chargeback and I’d probably have to eat the loss, but I’m not willing to ship a replacement in that case either. The insurance would ensure you get the product at the end.

22·2 months agoIn which case that’s bundled into the shipping cost, so you’re paying it either way at the end of the day. I could just not offer and pad the shipping rates, but opted to give my customers the choice. So far I haven’t had anyone who opted out, lose a package. Those likely to lose them, know already that their local ups is sus.

72·2 months agoGiven the small fee in ops screenshot, most likely. We don’t know who their shipper is.
My understanding is trying to get reimbursed by ups is also a time consuming headache. They make you wait a while, need evidence, etc etc etc. I can just ship a replacement right away and as long as the original package stays lost, I don’t have to worry about not being reimbursed.
Also ups sucks so much I’d rather give that insurance money to someone other than them. I don’t understand how ups can lose packages that are being held at a store for pickup, unless their employees steal them.

378·2 months agoFor people asking what this is - for my small biz, adding insurance via ups would be about $25 per package, and 3rd party protection is about $11. I don’t make any money off this, it’s strictly to cover lost / damaged shipments.
I offer default protection on during checkout but call it out in a big obvious box, and warn that if you remove it and the package is lost then you’re out of luck. Most people leave it on, and I have about a 2% package loss rate (thanks ups) that has all been covered so far.
If I didn’t offer it via 3rd party then that $25 would be rolled into the shipping cost, so the customer is forced to pay. This way they get the option, and it saves them money.
I wish more companies would just be up front about it though, it feels deceptive when they shove it in without explaining why.
Not really worth it unless you’re downloading attachments from spam emails or sketchy websites. It’s pretty dated tech - old school AV definitions, but there’s nothing better that’s free afaik
Unfortunately not really. I use a framework as my day to day and offload builds to a Macbook pro.
As a media client, totally. Lots of people run jellyfin on Android TV sticks and things like that.
I suspect the reality is something like them not needing to do dual languages on products we import.

It still is! If you try and boot a kernel with nothing in /dev, you won’t get most of the kernel boot messages since /dev/console doesn’t exist. You need a basic set of device nodes in /dev before udev is started.
If you’re going to rsync a system to new hardware and exclude /dev /proc /sys, it’s better to setup a new mount of your / to a different directory and sync off that, so you get the underlying stuff without the cruft.
/dev and /sys are the other two special ones




They would just fork it at that version. Licenses aren’t retroactive.
