Howdy! 👋
I'm level 26 web dev from 🇫🇮 Finland. Full stack developer by trade but more into server side and sysadmin stuff.
A furry or something. Why be yourself when you can be fluffy raccoon on the internet?
I'm also on Mastodon: @jakeRaccoon@mastodon.social

Sure. I’m not recommending anything, just stating what has worked for me. For simple use cases, I think most of the DDNS services are pretty much the same anyway and it’s easy to switch to an another one if one stops working for some reason.

I’ve been using No-IP free plan for years without issues. Inputted the credentials to my routers DDNS client and then basically forgot about it. Free users need to confirm their account once a month via email but that’s just one click.
If your domain registrar happens to have an API to update DNS entries, you could implement DDNS yourself by writing a simple automated script to check the external IP (e.g. via ipify.org) and if it’s changed from the last check then call the API to update the DNS entries.

I was going to give the example of the Carnival cruise ship that sank in the 2010s (I think) largely due to the captain’s incompetence[…]
That’s Costa Concordia. It received extra media attention and is mostly known due to the awful behavior of the captain who first directly caused the accident and then fled the ship before most of his passengers.
- Comment on why are you using your launcher? 11 months ago:
I used to use Nova but had some issues with it after updating to Android 14. Then switched to using the default Pixel launcher. The lack of customization hasn’t bothered me too much and it pretty much does everything I want and need from a launcher. Might still give Nova a go in some years time.

I don’t remember the exact article I was reading but doing a quick google search yields this one for example. And here’s the actual research paper: www.miyashita.com/…/1hFnR7TlUO4OXNpQFeuN30

I remember reading an article about how we’re already able to simulate basic tastes, like sweetness and sourness, digitally. So just you wait, we might have lickable buttons in the future
- Comment on Microsoft may replace the Start button with the Copilot AI in Windows 12 1 year ago:
Good luck, because last time they tried to replace the Start menu with a new UI went so well…
