Be very careful with bisync, it is experimental and perhaps the most fragile part of rclone. Carefully read the limitations[1] and monitor your logs!

I personally use mount, I have never had problems with locking.

Read to the end. Ways to financially support this important work can be found there.


Step One: get them to a better payment processor than PayPal! I waded through it, but that's a high friction funnel.


I made a donation. Props to the PSF for standing up.


Thank you for this clear explanation.


I hadn't thought of this use case for aliases.

I had to make my Outlook email primary again on my Microsoft account, unfortunately, because of how I use OneDrive. I send people share invitations and there are scenarios (or at least there were the last time I checked) where sending invitations from the primary account email is the only way to deliver the invite. If your external email alias is primary, they'll attempt to send an email from Outlook's servers that spoofs the alias email :/


I just tested it, and it looks as if that was fixed. It seemed to work for me.


I tend to think that this challenge posed by "mixed" domains, partly unobjectionable but partly inappropriate, will only become more prevalent. A couple of thoughts:

1. Filtering at the DNS level will never be enough. You'll always need to have the capability for the browser or user agent to do filtering, since the user agent has the context to know the full URI as well as other things needed for filtering. The OS admin (parent, school IT admin etc) will need to be able to block all user agents except the ones that have the reporting and filtering capabilities tuned to the admin's requirements. This is the direction Windows is heading, but it is very rough.

2. I wonder if more domains could do what Google, Bing, Youtube etc do and permit a safe version to be requested at the DNS level. I personally would like to be able to do so with Reddit, Twitter and more.


The absolute worst domain for mixed content is google.com. Google has it's own internal internet. Searching for inappropriate images on Google images (using "safe" terms), and downloading the cached image is a powerful workaround.

Ok, there are a few worse ones. But it's pretty bad.


As mentioned there, anyone using Power Automate to automate their personal Outlook.com/Hotmail email, OneDrive, etc can try migrating to a free Power Apps Developer plan (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/developer/p...). I have not yet tried this myself.


Another site, which includes a smaller but more professionally curated set of recordings, is Lit2Go (https://etc.usf.edu/lit2go/books/). My children and I for example have greatly enjoyed Lorraine Montgomery’s recording of “Curly and Floppy Twistytail”, a series of delightful nonsense stories performed with gusto. (https://etc.usf.edu/lit2go/183/curly-and-floppy-twistytail-t...) They’re not all aimed at children either, high quality recordings of Dracula, David Copperfield, etc


Ohhh, I never thought I'd see FCIT/lit2go mentioned on HN! I used to work in the sound booth for lit2Go, it was one of my favorite jobs. We had some wonderful vocal talent come through, and I learned much of what I know about recording/mixing from that work.The people in charge of organizing that project were diligent/earnest to the point of sainthood.

They have quite a few historic stereo-views scattered around their open source pic site, I always enjoyed browsing those with my 3d shades on:

https://etc.usf.edu/clippix/search?q=stereoview (They had more than this search would suggest; hopefully they're still around...)


Elisabeth Klett is phenonmenal, way beyond any professional recording I've purchased.

One important note:

> Does this affect content from music and photo libraries?

> The announced changes for remote streaming of personal content from a Plex Media Server apply only to movie/TV/video media. This does not affect music or photo streaming to our dedicated Plexamp and Plex Photos apps.

If I'm reading right, users like me who primarily use it for music and audiobooks (via the Prologue app) are not affected.


Funding =/= monentization, and the former presupposes a need for the latter


The monetization strategy has already been announced. I’m pointing out that there is no near-term scenario where the bills aren’t getting paid.


The article you posted doesn't hint at any strategy toward monetization, and only links to a blog post from 2 years. Have they done anything besides sell domain names and tshirts ?

Also accepting investment from Bain Capital is a terrible omen.


Their first significant monetized product will be a Discord Nitro-type subscription for accounts that will enable HQ media, more allowed media posts, visual gimcracks, etc.
