  • Yeah, I don’t know why they don’t have the normal “what is this” text from their main page at least at the bottom or something.

    cock.li offers free email service with no personal info needed for signup. They’ve done this for 11 years, with no major outages to my knowledge, relying only on donations without explicitly asking for them or bugging their users.

    I think at some point they also offered paid VPS services.

    Very useful for accounts that you don’t want connected to your other “identities”, but where you’ll still need them associated with a real email for things like password resets.

    It’s also tor friendly.


  • My guy, I’m a grown ass adult that does sysadmin work for a living in a full Windows/Microsoft environment. Just stop. You’re wrong about how Windows works.

    Your meme is simply not how Windows works, unless you intentionally choose to disable the security feature of UAC while leaving Windows Defender on. At that point you’ve accepted the risk that you could do something to break your shit.

    You turned off warnings for all the shit you say Windows sleeps through, but left Windows Defender on which keeps the exe warnings. The only way to get Windows to work the way in this meme is if you configure it in this non-standard way.

    Your willingness to poke around with computers will serve you well, especially in the modern age as people are less willing to do that, but don’t assume you know everything just because you know more than the people around you day to day.
