CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@jbond @mattgrayyes not a bad idea, since most ebike batteries don't charge particularly fast. Ditto for power tools. There's no reason why my drill batteries don't have USB-C PD at least as an option.
Only problem is most plug socket USB C supplies of the sort you find in cafes and trains only do +5V not the full PD spec.

@diffrentcolours @mattgrayyes no there is not. When I first got my ebike in 2009, the charger was rather massive. That charger eventually failed and the official replacement was considerably smaller and gained an IEC input. That made it easier to carry around. A detachable battery pack helps too. It still charges just as slow as ever, but was great when I was commuting 1h20 each end of the day.

@revk @bloor @aaisp Exactly like that. More than happy with my A&A IPv6 networking. What's better, sane behaviour is by default rather than opt-in.

@bloor but there is more to providing ipv6 networking than just routing packets. Some (Hello BT) will unexpectedly change your network's whole address assignment for another like this was dialup and they had address shortages. Renumbering a network should be possible but a rare exception.
Perhaps another poll would be "Does your ISP provide reliable and consistent IPv6 networking?"

@ArneBab @jwildeboer
1. Get your outbound IP address ranges from a reputable supplier, ie not lowest-common-denominator mass-market retail ISP. L2TP tunnel them to where your system is hosted from a reputable supplier if you have to.
2. Matching Forward/Reverse DNS.
3. DMARC, DKIM, SPF.
4. Never send anything unsolicited to anyone ever.
5. Only ever email existing customers about updates to their current services or their current orders.
6. Use a domain name that isn't new with good reputation.

@jwildeboer also, regarding keeping things simple. if your business model doesn't depend on third party ad placement on your pages or analytics then it makes GDPR a breeze, no cookie banners needed. That in itself is a huge sales conversion benefit if you don't need to interrupt the flow with unnecessary interruptions. #ux #gdpr

@jwildeboer very much depends how simple your system is and the external dependencies. I find that running my own email easier and less fiddling around than outsourcing that, self-hosting plain git is trivial, limiting use of AI to dedicated models in niche use cases rather than massive LLM means it's easier to host.
But then, I've had decades of application hosting and ISP experience so know the pitfalls.
