Not quite the same:

  Queensland Police gained access to the Check In Qld app in June through a search warrant after the theft of a police-issued firearm, which led to an officer being stood down.

  Western Australian Police has used its data twice without a warrant, which led to the state then banning police from accessing the data, while Victoria Police has tried but been rebuffed on at least three occasions.

The police gained no advantage, no prosecutions were carried through, and in WA Quigley (then WA Attorney-General ) rebuffed the police and strengthened the fines for breaching. He is not (now) a fan of the police, despite having once been the police unions bulldog lawyer of choice .. he's seen too many breaches too close to ignore.

  In 2007, his life membership of the Western Australian Police Union was withdrawn after his parliamentary attack on police involved with the Andrew Mallard case, where he named a former undercover policeman who had a role in Mallard's unjust conviction.

  He planned to melt down his life membership badge, have it made into a tiepin with the words Veritas Vincit— "Truth Conquers", the motto of the school he attended—and present it to Mallard.

> The provider was GMX and it was their fault, not DeltaChat's.

Noting that the team have put together "Chatmail" a minimal email suite designed for speed, security and convenience.

Also helps with the whole "onboarding to chat" and multiple identities not linked to existing accounts.

There are multiple public servers which may be an option, instead of using an existing email account at provider X.

The fediverse can be quite an echo chamber.

Suitably roasted, thanks for the laugh!

Restic user and also a long time user of Borgbase, their offering is pretty neat!

It would be great to be able to add some additional data beyond the listings to augment decisions.

For example passmark scores or power usage for an identified CPU.

I see there is very little standard format in the listings, so might need some logic to extract/guess at CPU versions etc.

Are two providers that I've used to catch-all and forward to an external mailbox.

https://tldes.com/ is an alternative site for those look for pricing comparison for the different TLDs/gTLDs.

Personally I'm currently using Sav and Porkbun, with good experiences with Namesilo in the recent past.

The second episode appears to have appeared in the last few hours.
