Where's the love for DEC Alphas @keroauc?
. Awesome machines...sure they're old now but the engineering/design is solid
Could have been DEC VAX. Oh those years... ;-)
Precisely @rds100...the jump from admin'ing a VAX 5250 whether running DEC Ultrix or VAX VMS to a DEC Alpha was an "OMG" moment
And yes, I'm showing my age now
'arpa' level membership is a regular ssh shell account, with usual basic network utilities (ftp, dns tools), on 600mb space allocated in 150mb each for: home, web files, mail and ...gopher files(!). To change the space allocation a yearly 20$ 'tweak' fee is required.
That's my setting for years: lifetime 'arpa' member and very often the 20$ 'tweak'.
Private 'arpa' members server simply means 'arpa' accounts are on a separate dedicated server.
ttytter is a twitter text-only client: http://www.floodgap.com/software/ttytter/
I have never used any other settings, but the VoIP information they provide, seems transparent to me, as a linux/unix user: your can use VoIP on your SDF account, so to talk with people using any kind of SIP supported software. But as a client I never saw the point, because one must carry the audio over the ssh connection to the SDF box.
UUCP is no longer used for email, it's a remain from the late 80's and the 90's. Yet the uuclient command ships with all linux/bsd, so you can use that to poll mail from a remote box (like SDF). I always used IMAP or the web interface to get my freeshell.org mail, they have been using squirrelmail since long, and now also roundcubemail.
you're right, there must be privacy differences, as Germany has a slightly different legal framework than the USA, but yes no mentions about it. I guess they didn't think much about it, just wanted to have a server in Europe.
I'm in Europe but my account is on one of their american box. One of the advantages I found with SDF was the possibility of a stable backup email address. Free mail providers are mostly corporations that come and go, merge and sink, disable accounts after some time of inactivity, change important settings, etc. SDF is just there, stable, not flooded by the masses because its CLI focus.
