Hello all this is my first Post in these forums, :-)

I?ve been keenly watching the news about hotmail?s upgrade and just today logged into my hotmail account to find I?m now on 250MB, I was wondering how many others have been upgraded, I?m on the ninemsn.com hotmail network,

Its strange I did not receive an e-mail about my upgrade, I just logged in and 1% of 250MB caught my eye.

How many of you have been upgraded now?

Cheers

They've been sending me mail for a very long time about this so called upgrade.

I have currntly 35 hotmail acounts, they are each in different catogories so that is why and yet to see it go above 2mb. B.T.W. I don't use them for spamming, but to 2 are to receive spam.

I am a bit cheesed off that M$ they are stopping dektop use for the accounts using outlook express, even though I do check the accounts using messenger and malwasher pro.

I cannot understand the point in offering so much space, you may say you can store everything you recieve, I archive it to my zip disks. I used to archive it in my account but the nice people at M$ decided (like some others here might have had this done) to delete all my invoices, all my private mail, all my messages to zilch. :angry:

So we are, yay go ninemsn, lets hope this is official and not a mistake, I did not get any e-mail from them, if they take it away from me I?ll be very unhappy. lol

They sent me an E-mail when I got the stupid calendar but not when they give me 250MB hmm ok then.

Hi All Bay 8 seems to still be at 2mb,

I am from the UK no upgrade let :( has Anyone in the UK who got free hotmail accounts been upgraded? I beleive the Bays are either dependant on when you registered i registered September '01 or by your country e.g. AU UK CA etc. if by country has any tried changing it to an other country. As quite a few Australians have recently been upgraded does that prove my point. Is Bay 8 in progress let and do any people have 250mb on it?

      It's funny that iPhone users think they are getting feature, where in fact they are getting cosmetics that just do iteration circles of "improvement" of the said cosmetics. Apple just doesn't know what to do with this product anymore. There is no innovation on this areas anymore.

      You can disable the bloat on every browser. That's not the point. I will never use a browser of a shady company. I don't trust them at all. I can still find adblocking solutions than having to rely on a browser from a shady company.

    • Alpine Linux 3.24 released with support for COSMIC Desktop and other improvements

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Alpine Linux 3.24 released with support for COSMIC Desktop and other improvements by David Uzondu Alpine Linux 3.24 has been released with updated system packages, including Linux kernel 6.18 and Rust 1.96. The team also added IPv6 support to the system installer, and they introduced automatic serial console configuration for headless setups. System76's COSMIC desktop environment is now available in the community repo. System76 originally started building this DE because its developers found GNOME to be pretty limited. Plus, it did not help that with virtually every GNOME update, the changes broke System76's custom desktop extensions. As for system packages, the Alpine team moved GTK+ 3.0 from the main repository to the community repository due to its legacy status. py3-setuptools has been upgraded to version 82.0.0, while the old pkg_resources module has been completely dropped. The team also removed outdated packages that still relied on py3-six and GTK+ 2.0. In addition to that, libsoup 2 has been removed because the library was affected by multiple security vulnerabilities. If you're a GRUB user, the Alpine Team said that you must manually run the grub-install command with your specific device or EFI options right after upgrading your system, otherwise, your computer may fail to boot properly with the newly updated GRUB 2.14 bootloader. New installations of Alpine Linux now offer an optional path to a /usr-merged directory layout if you set the BOOTSTRAP_USR_MERGED environment variable to 1 before you execute the setup-disk command. If you already run an older installation, you can migrate manually by installing the merge-usr package and executing its binary as the root user. The team recommends this layout to align Alpine with modern Linux standards, though you should verify your custom scripts before making the switch. Alpine Linux is a pretty tiny (~5MB) Linux distro built around musl libc, BusyBox, and OpenRC. It's been around since 2005, comes with its own package manager called Alpine Package Keeper (APK), and is widely used in modern cloud computing and software deployment.
