have been burned out by this Yahoo policy almost 5-6 years ago when it was (first?) introduced...


Did they introduce it that recently? I seem to recall it being policy over a decade ago. My memory is sometimes faulty however.


No its been a long standing policy, i was bit by it a few times with different accounts, just need to log in like once a year, they email you ahead of time at alternate email if you have on file warning


Recently, a shared hosting company where I had the emails went off-the-grid in a puff. I know I should have taken backups, but, it seems trivial that why would a company just shut off the servers/ stop responding if the service has been impeccable for last 5 years? This is another story.

So, what can I do to just keep a backup of all my emails (one @gmail.com and other personal website emails)?

Maybe for me, just having those emails accessible somewhere is more important (other than primary source/ provider)

Thanks


Awesome! Done. Thanks


I am also seeking an invite. Tried being active on IRC et all. @ccu508, how to reach out to you for sharing my email? Thanks!


Also, I think a housing crash - similar to early 2000s, as many people think will happen - I dont think that will happen now. Its a different situation now. Subprime mortgage was taken care off with new regulations in subsequent years.

Currently, most new buyers with fixed rates will not see anything change. Its the handful of ARM (I think its handful - unless there is some data showing otherwise) who may be the real losers.


Many people I know, cashed out big on their stocks/ crypto. They may not be in the bucket of foreclosure unless they make seriously dubious financial choices and ruin their worth.

They will hold the reins on their houses and take some losses if need be, but ride it coolly till the end...

My 2C.

Thanks


Oh - The nostalgia - the memories...

My first foray into programming. I remember skipping breaks to go to our computer room (super chilled due to Air conditioning) and popping in a 5.1/4 inch floppy diskette and loading this...


Would you mind sharing your clone that you have tried?? Thanks
