That’s fair, and people will use things different than the intention of the thing if it suits them. My point was more to highlight that you cannot group all things where buying and selling happen as “marketplaces” and expect the same protections/moderation etc.

This new tool is to replace the local ads/garage sale like equivalents with something self hosted. EBay is not one of these, regardless of how people choose to use it. As an auction site it is on a different level in both functional and legal experience. You cannot expect that from Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace Kijiji, or you local newspaper ads or garage sales.

But a classified ad site is not a marketplace, and that’s where we need to be mindful of the distinction.

EBay is an exception here, its also not a classified ads site.

EBay is an auction house. Auction houses have stricter rules.

Classified ads is you grandma posting her VCR for sale, or selling your used boat locally. Its a parallel to a newspaper classified section. There has never been any control on sites like this other than “buyer beware”. Craigslist, Kijiji and Facebunk Marketplace are all classified ad equivalents and have zero guarantee or protections usually.

Given these are meant to be local ads, the onus is on the buyer to go to the sellers house and verify what they are buying.

God this guy looks like a human hemerrhoid.

Don’t worry, since many of the Geneva Conventions were in response to Canadian Military actions at war, if the orange turd sends troops for his 51st state bullshit, we’ll come up with a whole new list of things for Geneva to add to the convention and his cronies can get some first hand experience on why those rules exist.

We’re nice neighbours and allies, but don’t become our enemy.

LOL, to each their own.

Its encrypted at rest, so good luck, but you still have to worry about this from your provider. You have to also worry about if they would even tell you if they knew that was happening, and you have to worry about what they are doing on top of that.

I have a single layer to worry about, and likely going to solve that with moving the mail storage to a home server and only having the postfix mail-exchanger in the cloud.

Is it beaver you’re lookin’ for 🎵

I mean… Those look like normal Canadian prices.

However, contextually, that stuff in Canada is actually chocolate and many US versions have little to no cocoa, and oils instead of milk ingredients. So its a rip off because its not even chocolate.

I pay $300 for 3 years with SSD nodes.

I never have to worry about the company hosting my mail going corrupt, being sold, or being coerced into giving access to my data without just cause.

You undervalue the cost of maintaining the trust with a provider

Been running my own server for 15 years. I need to put about 20 hours maintenance a year in for updates. I have the whole thing automated as a helm chart using PVCs with cert-manager for auto-renewal and the node just runs k3s as a single node.

That’s a lot of extra layers, but the layer of seperation between the host and the services makes it very easy to automate all the pain away.

Every single word movie just becomes dick.

If Kung Pow: Enter the Dick isn’t a porno already then the industry has lost it’s edge.

Yeah, in Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes, you can get authentic poutine. It starts getting rare to find a good one the further west you go. Its a French-Canadian cuisine and thus Quebec-centric.

In BC the poutines are usually all wrong. Chicken gravy and shredded cheese instead of room-temp curd and a properly dark beef gravy.

When the place actually tries to make it an original take, its better. Like the Brown’s Social House Rocky Mountain Poutine, or that place that does it with tater tots. 😂

Poutine.

I’m running Kube on baremetal.
