  I fell for that stupid “sound on” overlay. I hope whoever did the audio over this stubs their toe constantly all day and the person who added the overlay gets a whole week.

  I’ve used plenty of ergo keyboards and fancy layouts, but as soon as I try to use a regular keyboard I have to re-learn how to type and it really halts any productivity.

  This sort of thing may be nice if you only ever use one computer or you’re willing to pack around your keyboard.

  Even still, I never liked ergo boards enough to think it’s worth the effort, especially considering being useless on other keyboards once I’m used to ergo.

  Now I just stick to a 75% or TKL. Keeps me versatile.

  I find it ironic that their website has extremely low contrasting colors making it very hard to read.

  To add to that, to effectively use docker and basically anything important for self-hosting is to learn the basics of Linux.

  A good resource for that is learnlinux.tv

  Right. That seems like more effort than it’s worth in comparison to how much I care about the situation. As you say, the guy was already a piece of shit. That’s why it’s easy for me to believe, especially considering the evidence. Anything that may point out the evidence is invalid is pretty buried or seems to only be spread among areas that have an interest in that narrative.

  Anyway, thanks for the info and discussion.

  At first I read the title as

  How much pareidolia is too much?

  And I was bracing for a fun thread, but then my brain caught up and now I’m disappointed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨But DrUgS at The Border!!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hmm. I don’t see where the state did not think the logs were real. AFAIK they were pulled from the website’s database. The BTC transactions match up, too.

  I think I’ve seen people conflate “there is no evidence that anyone was killed” and them not believing the whole thing, but attempting to hire and the falsified “success” of the supposed murders can be both true.

  I’m having trouble finding where that’s explained. With all I’ve seen, I have not seen anything mention that.

  Interesting how you feel the need to disingenuously misrepresent my point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Least terrible domain registrars⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What registrar was that? Were they as big as Cloudflare? How exactly did they “go tits up”? Isn’t the situation you describe a completely different scope from an individual’s usecase? It’s also an anecdotal point of data without including the full context of how common that situation is. “It happened to me once, and I have heard stories” does not necessarily mean it’s common enough for everyone to prepare for every time. I’ll remain skeptical of the

  Mainly, though, I’m not saying it’s a bad idea in total. I just think that for someone who is inexperienced with DNS management and self-hosting, those types of concerns are already unlikely and just keeping the environment simple and cost less has far more value than being prepared for unlikely scenarios. It could even prevent self-inflicted issues by keeping it simple, which would be far more likely than Cloudflare’s infrastructure creating a problem that they have to remediate themselves.

  If anything, the true argument for risk mitigation would be to have multiple DNS servers for redundancy.

  I just don’t believe that, in this type of usecase, it’s worth pressing for and that there’s more of an argument to keep it simple.

  Additionally, you can leave out trying to use your credentials and a hypothetical group of people to make your argument for you. It makes it seem like you’re trying to talk down.

  What’s the context of these words?

  Reel like a fishing reel? Reel back from something?

  Jig as a dance? A jig tool?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Least terrible domain registrars⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I get that you’re likely exaggerating by saying “it’s no extra work”, but managing another account is markedly extra work. It will also cost extra because Cloudflare does not add any markup for registration.

  I think the convenience and reduction of cost greatly outweighs the highly unlikely situation where “something goes fucky”. If it does, then what? You can’t make DNS updates for a little while?

  The most likely reason to get locked out is billing issues, or maybe you lost your login information or something like that, which is going to be the same risk regardless of who your registrar is. Otherwise you’d have to be involved in some sort of legal issue associated with your domain and that is a much deeper issue than can be solved by simply changing nameservers.

  I noted that this was something added automatically by Ghost, the blogging platform the website is hosted on.

  However, ultimately there is no good way to discern if a link like that is not an affiliate link or a non-anonymous tracking link, particularly for the average user. Particularly when the link does not include nofollow on the anchor tag.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Least terrible domain registrars⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’ll be fine to move them to Cloudflare.

  What the other user is describing would be an extremely rare scenario, and you should be able to change registrars in that case anyway.

  There’s really not much of any practical benefits of that kind of excessive “risk mitigation”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨(Blog) How I'm Building a Trump-Proof Tech Stack Without Big Tech⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I think the title is just bait to get more clicks. Leveraging legitimate fear for what Trump’s administration is doing to garner more clicks is pretty scummy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Least terrible domain registrars⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I find their website so awful and painful to use. Everything is difficult to find and just takes longer to accomplish than nearly anywhere else. I bought one domain from them once and will never use them again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Least terrible domain registrars⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not sure what the consequences are for ignoring it, but it would violate the ICANN RAA to lock a person out of being able to transfer their domain except for legal reasons like evidence of fraud or a court order. Sure, they can terminate your account on their services but they can’t prevent you from transferral without violating their agreement with ICANN.

  It would be a weird scenario that you’re describing that would be unusual and exceedingly rare. You would need to be directly connected to something highly illegal for that to happen, not just a normal user.
