  1. Stupidly closed an account before changing my duck forwarding address

    I now have everything being forwarded to a deleted Proton account. I’ve emailed Duck to see if they can change the forwarding address. And I also emailed Proton to see if they can reactivate the account (it was deleted less than 24 hours ago). Really wish there was someone to contact in these emergency situations.

  3. Why a genetic data breach is not like other healthcare breaches

    Genetic information cannot be reissued. A Social Security number is hard to change, a credit card can be replaced within hours, and a password can be changed immediately, which is why the standard breach response of credit monitoring and replacement account numbers exists at all.

  7. Why is my website still down after paying for upgrades?

    I recently upgraded my hosting plan with Hostinger but my website is still offline. I contacted customer support but they haven't responded yet.

  11. DNS Zone configuration on domain also used with OVH Zimbra mail

    Keep the OVH MX records if you want Zimbra to remain your mail provider; changing them to YunoHost’s expected MX can redirect new mail away from Zimbra. The DKIM record should also stay OVH’s unless you move sending to YunoHost. These diagnostics flag a mismatch, but it doesn’t block Let’s Encrypt.

  24. What has AI done to Hostinger Customer service, huh? Such limited human support...

    Earlier the support was so good. We were able to connect to humans and they would solve the problems. Now we have is this stupid AI and it can't answer half of our questions. And it takes forever to get a human. Once the shift of a customer service guy ends, another one takes forever. God.
