Fuel goes bad mostly only when mixed with bio fuel, which allows bacteria to grow which does not happen for pure fossile fuel. Additives may degrade, too - but they can be mixed after long term storage. So jet fuel which is basically identical to diesel (except additives) can be stored unlimited.
Petroleum diesel and jet fuel degrade via oxidation, hydrocarbons react with oxygen to form gums, varnishes, and sediments. Biocontent does accelerate degradation but without additives most diesels will be severely degraded at most in 12 months. That’s before we get into water contamination and fun things like Cladosporium resinae.
The affiliate information shows that it the website shows mostly / only affiliate offers, and omits (intentionally?) much better a lternatives like posteo.de for email.
Listed vendors like OVHcloud must follow the US cloud act, so not really independent from US.
This post needs to be flagged, this is pure affiliate spam and not at all what HN is meant for. Doubt the guy is even European at this point. An email @ dang wouldn't be out of place either for anyone with the time.
The domain registration date doesn’t tell anything about the amount of effort put in it. I usually register the domains of my side-projects only when I’m at 80% done; otherwise I would buy dozens of domains I would never use.
If you want to help orgs who have come to the conclusion they need to diversify to EU services, it does not mean you have to have come to the same conclusion! Also, it's not the same kind of dependency if you get or buy something one-off from a website like this, as if you build your org on top of a single platform/jurisdiction.
They didn’t explicitly point to hypocrisy as the thing that makes it “unserious.” Actually I think a lot of serious projects are a little bit hypocritical, a little bit of hypocrisy is often the cost of contact with reality.
In this case it isn’t even clear where the hypocrisy comes from, though. It’s a service for looking up other services. Does it even handle any PII?
The domain registration in this context is just proof that the website doesn't have any community value. As for the amount of effort, I took a look at the HTML source of the page, and it looks like the person who released it doesn't really understand the technology he uses, even on a website level.
My opinion is therefore that this amount of effort is not nearly enough to hold our discussion here.
Perhaps they spent considerable effort putting the data set etc together, and subsequently decided to launch as a standalone domain. I wouldn’t take registration date as the final arbiter of seriousness
Maybe it was added in the meanwhile, but I see Posteo under email. Also, disputable if Posteo is really better, as it highly depend on your requirements. I dismissed it for some reason when choosing and went with mailbox.org, which is also listed.
The information is also not stating that all links are affiliate, just that the site does contain them and some might make them money.
I use my custom email address and forward to posteo, for me there is little to no lock-in; I could go to another service tomorrow and wouldn’t have to change anything
I was looking into Posteo a while back but was turned off by the recycling of addresses. After leaving the service it's available to anyone after a fixed time.
If this site actually provided privacy-preserving recommendations, there are many of us in the U.S. who would (or should?) also be interested in these services. Sadly, this is SPAM.
Does Ford now copy Tesla‘s tactic to over-promise nice cars for a specific low price to come much later (in 2027)? And then deliver much later and for higher prices?
Reads like AI generated bullshit overemphasizing on zero percent probable benefits and ignoring hundred percent probable damages.
Welcome in AI age.
developers have a specific skill set which gets 100% replaced by AI. The assumed skill set of „limiting AI damage“ is neither present or desired by stakeholders who push into AI (except alibi)
Microsoft InTune WUDO has a similar bug costing my department 40000 € internal charging per month for firewall log traffic of blocked tcp 7680 requests. 86000 requests per day per client, 160 million per day total. MS confirmed the bug but did nothing to fix it.
They are building features right now. There are a lot of bugs which Microsoft will never fix, or it fixes them after years. (Double click registered on mouse single clicks, clicking "x" to close the window, closes also the window underneat, GUI elements rendered as black due to monitor not recognized etc).
Yes, all packets get logged (metadata only). Otherwise we wouldn’t know there is an issue.
Those packets consume bandwidth and device utilization, too but this is flat fee, whereas log traffic is measured per GB so we investigated where an unexpected growth came from.
Wake up, American tech people (or anybody with remains of intelligence and humanity). Solve this issue from inside before the system implodes or sets the world even more on fire than it has done already.
While I appreciate many routine bug fixes and some longtime awaited features and UI improvements, Affinity apps still lacks general stability, UI consistency, and a huge number of essential features, making it hard to use these apps in professional context of for critical work.
The are no official statistics, but from own observation and counting the evolution of key indicators is very bad and going into the wrong direction:
Rate of solved long term issues (for basic/essential functionality) stays constant or going down. E.g.
Wrong handling of alpha channel adjustments layers
Rendering issues depending on zoom level
Merge down leading to blurriness
Handling of layer or position or size leading to blurriness
Unable to render 16 bit color depth within the app
Wrong CMYK color profile preview / soft proofing (paper simulation)
Rate of features implemented (based on user feedback in forum) low
(E.g. LTR writing, handling of 1-bit BW documents, missing vector trace, supporting functions for game devs like zero in alpha channel, PAR (pixel aspect ratio), blend tool, …
Instead Affinity often adds features which where never requested by users before and server only small very user groups (astrophotography stacking)
Countless regressions of UI bugs (UI elements not working/unusable)
Some „design decisions“ of the developers are insane:
- older releases unable to open files edited by newer releases (this effects almost every minor release), so all users working as team or family must always upgrade to latest
iPad versions lacks dozens of essential functions available on Desktop versions. Gap increases with every release
Instead of fixing bugs for existing functionality, Affinity introduces new functions, covering the use same use case by a totally different workflow. E.g. combining blend ranges and mask layers vs. Live mask layers.
If needed I can provide links to relevant posts in the official Affinity user forum proving these claims.
