go $fsck yourself

Edit response:

Yes, I am salty with you like it is your decision… to provide shitty information about GoDaddy that is irrelevant to the conversation. Your company’s choice to make stupid decisions has nothing to do with how scummy GoDaddy is. But it was your decision to come here to talk about the subject and spout garbage.

Dude straight up had a video of his dev office in one of his games where he had an actual jug of piss next to the couch he sleeps on.

Typical /r/programmerhumor post. Sounds like something that could be true, but once you actually know about the subject at all it’s clearly false. Upvoted like crazy because everyone there knows fuckall about programming.

Here’s a copy of that image without the watermarks

I’ve worked with tons of clients that have “successfully used GoDaddy for years” while they are paying far more for a domain that nearly any other registrar, they are forced to pay for a basic SSL certificate that is free anywhere else, they are tricked into buying services that that don’t need and literally makes things worse and more difficult.

But ask someone who actually knows webdev and web hosting and you’ll hear all about the issues that are there in plain sight.

GoDaddy very simply preys on people who don’t know any better.

That’s not a good argument for GoDaddy. It just means that you and your company don’t care and are not qualified to make any claims about GoDaddy’s actual service.

The problem is they are screwing you over without you knowing about it. Just because you’re oblivious doesn’t mean it’s not happening. Yes, they make it easy to give them money, but the services they provide are horrendous when you know how they compare.

Of course, if you’re not qualified to determine how bad they are then you’re not going to see much of it. Just like if you don’t know anything about cars and your mechanic charges you way too much and for things that you don’t need, like “blinker fluid”, and you just think “oh this is fine”, that doesn’t mean that’s not an awful mechanic.

What red flags?

I love me some Mingus Dew

Sorry, I misunderstood due to the similar name of a particular website that is frequently linked to in most of the Linux gaming communities on Lemmy.

Why? I never found a reason why that site would be useful. It seems to just re-word announcements and not provide anything more of use.

On top of that, the owner is a douche. He was a mod on !linux_gaming@lemmy.ml community until they learned that mod logs were public then deleted their account and complained on mastodon that it’s stupid design that mod logs are public. [Screenshot]

I find it hard to trust in a person who takes in a role of responsibility and does not have any idea about the basics of the platform.

Why unraid and not truenas?

I spent a bunch of time getting Projectivy set up all nice. But after using it for a while I realized that it’s effectively unusable due to the long launch time.

I’ve seen tons of posts in support of Luigi. The ones I see taken down are ones are threats of violence, including vague and ‘joke’ threats.

I think that’s pretty reasonable considering they are following the law of the countries that host it.

Any considerations within this list?
