bunnyfoofooon An MCP Server for Fastmail – National Email Day

As a note for those that use Fastmail, Fastmail stores all your data in the US, if that is important to you.

Hey @gerdemb, just wanted to say thank you. Bought this because of your comment and this worked perfectly for backing up my 1TB photo library.

Get a 403 from EU. Is there a better source?

bunnyfoofooon Show HN: NextDNS Adds "Bypass Age Verification"

They do not respond, to any email address. Tried multiple times, over months. Just check the forums. I provided a link in my other reply.

bunnyfoofooon Show HN: NextDNS Adds "Bypass Age Verification"

https://help.nextdns.io/search?v=p&q=refund

Congratulations to them, I suppose. They've temporarily returned after stealing money from me. Their service stopped working after renewing my annual subscription and when I went to try and find support, I got silence.

If you're one of the lucky few who's never had issues with NextDNS, I'm happy for you.

bunnyfoofooon Show HN: NextDNS Adds "Bypass Age Verification"

Do not promote or use NextDNS, it's essentially abandoned. You will not get any support from the developer when something breaks, and it will break. I tried for a year to contact him before abandoning it. Just check the help forums.

bunnyfoofooon Copilot turns a court reporter into a child molester

It shouldn’t be allowed to respond with false information about a person being a child molester, and be unable to be corrected. If that’s not possible then it shouldn’t be legal.

bunnyfoofooon Little Snitch 6.0 Released

I love the inclusion of DNS here, as that was a major pain point on version 5. Currently on MacOS you can only use a single network filter, which Little Snitch is, so you couldn't use an encrypted DNS service easily in addition to Little Snitch. This made it an instant purchase for me (and it works).

bunnyfoofooon Show HN: Kyoo – Self-hosted media browser (Jellyfin/Plex alternative)

It's very pretty, and the demo is very fast. Is there series tracking to continue watching to pick up where you left off? It doesn't seem like there is on the demo.

My only concern is that your screenshots on the github include copyrighted movies. I know that unlike popcorn time (or whatever the name was), it's only a player and not a way to download things, but maybe change them out for your copyright-free movies on the demo? I'd hate to lose another project to overzealous copyright enforcement.

bunnyfoofooon Redict 7.3.0, a copyleft fork of Redis, is now available

Legally, they can't complain, but morally it is icky. Redis is a leech.

bunnyfoofooon Google Voice goes US only

I think an update flipped the setting, or added it.

Glad this worked for you!

bunnyfoofooon Google Voice goes US only

Hey OP, I had the same issue (also in France), and I believe it’s just a settings change that you have to do for this.

Under Settings -> Make and receive calls -> Ensure it’s set to Prefer Wi-Fi and mobile data.

If it’s set to use carrier, then you cannot make calls. Hope this work because this would scare the crap out of me!

bunnyfoofooon Google Voice goes US only

This is why relying on google for anything is shooting yourself in the face. Thanks for the information.

bunnyfoofooon Google Voice goes US only

When you say validate, would giving another US persons phone number work? I use this while living abroad for my US banking. It’s only solution I’ve found.
