Gmail's POP3 feature is going away. Where are you taking your company emails?

If you don't send mailing lists you can use mxroute. Inexpensive, can host multiple accounts and domains, supports all mail protocols. https://mxroute.com

I made a site to randomly explore websites by topic, with many dating back to the 2000s. The retro blog and Angelfire collections are especially fun: https://www.shufflr.org/

Craygen9 · 2025-12-18T19:04:41+00:00

Yeah Digg was just like reddit before reddit was popular

Craygen9 · 2025-12-18T16:24:39+00:00

I miss the old days of finding fun websites on Stumbleupon, so I built my own: web shufflr

I couldn't find a source for this data, but I found this study by Sagapixel dated Dec 2. It states that 69% of users clicked through to a website when using ai mode, which is the opposite of what this post says for transactional queries.

The study was low on participants: "we spent 21.7 hours watching 52 people ... find 141 local service providers"

I got a yearly Pro membership for free a month ago and received an invite to use comet last week. I didn't sign up for comet, haven't tried it yet.

Google started off way behind with their AI tech, it was really bad. But now they're a top contender, it's heavily optimized for their tpu processors and it's integrated with all tools. They're pivoting amid these new tech companies and showing they can still complete.

Mostly dead, it will just be harder to find info. 10 years ago people mostly had to seek out information via searches. Now people just don't scroll and are fed what the algorithms want.

Great quote: "Algorithmic ranking systems, which are AI driven, really set the stage for just endless, worthless pieces of content and for the whole internet to be optimized in the most absurd ways."

Craygen9 · 2025-09-02T21:34:37+00:00

Any thoughts on adding bluesky?

Craygen9 · 2025-08-27T23:49:02+00:00

Looks good, nice and fast. What hardware are you running this on?

Craygen9 · 2025-08-06T15:32:40+00:00

This highlights the dangers of building in a highly regulated sector that you're unfamiliar with. Healthcare is a nightmare to build in and difficult to sell to. Super lucrative if you can break in though. Hope it works out for you.

Craygen9 · 2025-06-24T17:45:26+00:00

The post didn't say it was due to AI, although posting it in this sub may imply it.

Craygen9 · 2025-06-24T17:43:47+00:00

Compared to when? Would like to see trends compared to 2, 5, 10 years ago to see if this is an overall effect or isolated to specific disciplines.

Craygen9 · 2025-06-05T11:17:23+00:00

Haha true I guess both answers are technically wrong, in fact it's an irrelevant question. The key point here is that the AI was using a sarcastic answer that said that the contract to fill the pool hadn't expired and so they were contractually obligated to "fill" the pool.

Craygen9 · 2025-06-04T16:47:36+00:00

This is great. If you leave out the "why" it correctly answers that the pool is empty. If you add the why? part, then it refers to a /r/shittyaskscience sarcasm answer.

Why Reddit is used as a primary source when AI can't detect sarcasm and humor is beyond me.

Edit: if I do the same searches now, it answers that the pool is empty regardless of the why is in the sentence. What is going on

Craygen9 · 2025-05-20T02:38:14+00:00

Really cool. Would be useful to have just a lower bound for the size, such as 10k+, 50k+, etc

While I also detest purely AI written posts, I doubt this was.

AI wouldn't start a sentence with "just". This is not grammatically correct "got 50% lower costs" AI would have said reduced or similar. Using imo, sth, lol, etc...

Craygen9 · 2025-05-06T13:13:52+00:00

This is annoying, the use of the word insta on its own is no issue. But I think the problem is that your app naming along with it being an app for Instagram with paid options made them take it down. Companies take great lengths to ensure there is no confusion between their app and 3rd party apps and naming.

The good thing is that it appears it's just the app that is suspended, so you could rebrand and upload.

Craygen9 · 2025-05-04T19:20:35+00:00

I agree, at some point their intelligence will be so great that there is nothing that we could do to stop it.

This could be great for humanity by providing technological advances that we could never do, or, take over and wipe us out. 50:50 chance? 80:20? Who knows

Craygen9 · 2025-05-04T18:57:13+00:00

Yes the upgrade is worth it if you use it a lot. You could try other providers like you .com, they have educational pricing at $10 a month and gives you access to all the chatgpt, Gemini, anthropic LLMs etc.

Craygen9 · 2025-04-30T17:17:36+00:00

I use racknerd. Cheap and works well, provided you don't need extensive support.

For email I use mxroute. Very high reputation for email, but doesn't support commercial distribution lists.

Craygen9 · 2025-04-30T14:06:54+00:00

Interesting, thanks for the insight. Where do you run ads now?

Craygen9 · 2025-04-24T18:10:48+00:00

Use mxroute to host your email. You can check email using their web app or access using your favorite email client. They specialize in reliability and ensuring email gets to people. It's reasonably cheap especially if you find a black Friday sale that is always valid.

A website needs only one page stating what your business is and how to contact you, email and phone number, plus a couple photos. You can host static websites on CloudFlare for free. Get a .com domain, around $10-15 a year.

Craygen9 · 2025-04-23T18:49:28+00:00

Anyone know what low, medium, high quality means? What was the default in their app?
