Quote from: "Herman"Dishwasher not working when you bought the place?
Barring the fact that the 25 year old dishwasher that was here looked like, and was, a worn out piece of shit, it leaked water onto the floor when I tested it out also.
All appliances here (eight in total) were instantly sent to the scrap heap, and replaced by me with new shit that works, and looks good also.

Thats the new standard..
The machine should still work fine if I reverse polarity (AC), but it can also bring about bad consequences too!
Black and White mixed will work on the surface, but it's never a good idea in the long run...
I had to do this splicing stuff back in my electrical days. It killed my back.

My husband's installs and maintains the electrical top drives on diesel electric drilling rigs..
The electricians like that type of wiring.

I don't register here since I'm permabanned from this forum, but I seem to get a break from that as a Guest poster now...
Is it something that can be discussed on the board? If not, I can always post an Email address, but that's a last resort!
I'm looking at starting an image host but need it to have no censorship issues so it would need to be set up in a country with no bias over acceptable and unacceptable media..
I would need some direction is all since we do see eye to eye over BS TOS..
probably be better handled over PMs or emails I'd think.. Its a new endeavor so am hoping to get it right, unlike Shooshare,Bayimg,Jesusfuck.me...etc
Mel can login as Angry White Male, so you two can exchange pm's.
I typed out a reply to his query, but Nelson IP addies are blocked by your spam control extension also. Had to proxy up to post this.
So both Castlegar and Nelson, and probably the entire Kootenay region, is blocked. Will try to reply from my PC when I get home...

I was able to post from the Kootenays.
Kootenays sounds like a native STD.

OK, to answer the question:
Where to host depends on what "freedom" you're trying to achieve. The US is actually very good when it comes to free speech (First Amendment), provided you use a good host, since hosts can and do have their own rules also. For instance, I use Namecheap to host for now, but also have a Host Gator account. The reason this is, is because I bought domain name at Namecheap, there's a waiting period before I can transfer domain over to Host Gator. I'll explain the difference: Namecheap does not permit porn, and has a relatively restrictive TOS. Actually, most US hosts don't permit porn, but Host Gator does. Host Gator is also more permissive with content, supporting First Amendment ideals probably better than most other common hosts do.
So with the right host, the US is actually pretty decent.
Here's the downside to hosting in the US: Copyright infringement. You do NOT want to host in the US if you are publishing copyrighted material. They'll shut you down pretty fast. Might have better luck hosting in a non EU Euro nation such as Iceland or Eastern Europe if you want a bit more protection from that. You'll more than likely pay more to host there though, and I honestly don't know if they permit the same level of free speech as the US does...
One benefit to some of these Euro servers, is that you can set them up anonymously, even paying by bitcoin. And while I can hide my personal info from the public with US domain, the hosts do know who I am.
Quite frankly I'm not even sure if the perfect host exists... One where you can do whatever you want, with complete anonymity. If it does, it's probably some host in some third world country I haven't heard of, running an unreliable server with non-existent customer care.
Since an image hosting site would consume quite a bit of bandwidth, it would probably be cheapest to host in the US I would think?
One thing to bear in mind, that if you get a .com domain name, that is still considered the "property" of the USA, and even if you host offshore, they can still come get you. So say you want to host in Iceland, if they suit your needs, you'd be best to get an Icelandic domain.

Sometimes it is the other way around.

You won't be able to now if Telus is your phones service provider.
That's one reason why I decided not to install a spam blocking add on, because IP's are dynamic all over the world. They get shuffled around.

Yes, I have Telus.

I'll find out this summer.
Back to what Real Grimm was asking, and I'll continue with what I've learned from my post on the previous page, Coles Notes version this time... I'm not sure if you've run a forum before, so I'll assume you haven't and talk like the tech noob that I am.
It's best to buy your domain name from the host you plan on using, since there's a 60 day waiting period to transfer a new domain name over to another host. You see, you just lease the domain... You don't actually own it. (This means that when I transfer over to Host Gator, I'll most likely lose my current forum, since I'm not skilled enough to transfer that shit properly)...
If you have skill, a dedicated server is best, but I found out that I simply don't have the technical abilities to run on a dedicated server without additional "tools" to help me. I tried and tried, and couldn't even upload the god damned forum software... A shared server offers more tools for idiots like me to actually start a forum. Cheaper too, but a shared server may become a liability if running high bandwidth shit, such as image hosting.
thanx Mel
