451 or 403 would be more appropriate as it's not available for legal reasons. 410 Gone would also fit well if it's a permanent block. I'd steer clear of 5xx server side because it encourages retry-later. The client has requested something not served, firmly placing it into the 4xx category. The other problem with 503 in particular is that it indicates server overload, falsely in the case of a path ban.

Anything but Moleskine because that bleeds and feathers heavily. Leuchtturm1917 adnd Clairefontaine daily, and a Cornell A5 weekly diary that seems to take virtually any ink despite being 'only' 70gsm. I veer towards 90gsm usually.

You nailed exactly how I feel 💯

I'm conflicted by this, I struggled to like Disco.

I'm half tempted to buy a 4u rackmount case and pack it with disks but I know that time tinkering should be time working and earning. DSM does have value, as far as 6.2 - I've not seen v7 yet and not bold enough to install it on an elder unit.

From memory it has a different layout in /etc, /use, and /opt that kept tripping me up. Simple things seemed harder. I do a fair amount in older versions of Java that caused problems. It's been a while though, so things have likely changed.

Sad to hear that about Hey: that was how I felt about Basecamp. It's a shame they are repeating the same mistakes.

I'm halfway between proton and fastmail, mostly because I like and trust protonvpn. It's tough to choose. For pure email, I'd pick fastmail.

That's good to know, I don't think I've had any communication about this 😕

That's correct: I use FOSS where possible, and if I must use closed source it must store data in an open standard.

As you insist on evidence: I can create and open 100% of my archives in all systems I use now or in the foreseeable future without installing additional software. RAR fails that test.

The other reason: RAR is a closed format, and like I said there are better alternatives that are not proprietary.

Likewise your philosophy is that RAR is best and you are free to have that opinion also without providing evidence.

I must have played with SUSE at some point, these words bring back horrors I'd long forgotten.

I scan all files already, so nothing new there.

Personally I choose to not deal with RAR and use a format that isn't proprietary, isn't patent encumbered, and is FOSS. These are rational, evidence based choices. There are plenty of alternatives that fit my needs better as well as those of my clients and peers.

I can find faults in any of them, but mostly hate working with Redhat/CentOS/Fedora. Strongly prefer Debian over Ubuntu, and I strongly prefer Gentoo over Arch. SUSE is an unknown, not sure about that one.

I have a fondness for BSD, if that matters.
