Amazing!! Thanks

Interesting, that’s not something I ever thought about. I just looked up the nameservers for .bb:

;; ANSWER SECTION:
bb.			86400	IN	NS	ns5.nic.bb.
bb.			86400	IN	NS	ns3.nic.bb.
bb.			86400	IN	NS	ns2.nic.bb.
bb.			86400	IN	NS	ns1.nic.bb.
bb.			86400	IN	NS	ns4.nic.bb.
bb.			86400	IN	NS	ns6.nic.bb.

It seems like ns1.nic.bb doesn’t resolve, and for 2-6, they’re all in either 64.68.192.0/20 or 64.119.192.0/20, so it does look like a small concentration in root nameservers which could be unavailable in a storm.

the warning for future tech founders is clear: Be careful when picking your top-level domain. Physical history is never as separate from our digital future as we like to think.

Kinda ironic this is published to a website with a .to ccTLD for the Kingdom of Tonga.

FWIW if you have a seed box which you can ssh into, you can setup a SOCKS5 proxy to route all traffic through the seed box. It’ll act like a VPN for you and is the best of both worlds in my opinion. This way your ISP and government can’t block your traffic or see that you’re accessing trackers at all (even to get the magnet links).

I use PWAs for Firefox and they work ok, although I don’t have the issue you mention. For me, in Ubuntu, if I open a link in a PWA for Google Chat, then the link opens in the PWA firefox window, not my main browser window. Maybe there’s a setting I missed?

Also, the PWA acts like a separate browser, so opening Google Chat requires you to log in again to Google on the same machine. And if you open up a paywalled link, and it opens in the PWA, then you have to log in, even if you’re logged in in Firefox.

Overall 5/7 rating on usability, but did allow me to get completely off of Chrome

I don’t particularly like Linus, but he was bearable in this video. As someone who assumed this was a SIM swap, I was genuinely as confused as he was playing it up when he was able to place calls but not receive them. That was really interesting.

public facing is fine

Not exactly, if it is something unintentionally public facing, that can get you charged with access a computer without authorization under the the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. This happened in this case: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goatse_Security#AT&T/iPad_email_address_leak

sending a HTTP request with a valid ICC-ID embedded inside it to the AT&T website, the website would reveal the email address associated with that ICC-ID.

On November 20, 2012, Auernheimer was found guilty of one count of identity fraud and one count of conspiracy to access a computer without authorization

Did uptobox provide seed boxes for torrenting, or what was the service like?

Wow TIL about the use of underscore in an interactive session.

Sounds like someone accidentally created an account with your name. As someone who has firstname.lastname@gmail.com this happens a lot. About 10 years ago, amazon.ca allowed you to create an account and start using it without verifying control of the email address. I woke up one day and saw all orders someone made, their address, last 4 digits of their credit card number, etc. Customer service doesn’t care. Ended up having to reset their password to get them to stop.

Hope these guides are useful for you.

FWIW, if all you have is a truly static website (html, css, and js), then GitHub Pages is free and you can point a custom domain there from your registrar, and don’t have to worry about backups or server uptime.

Biden resigning now just to make Trump’s hats invalid would be the best Dark Brandon move ever.

If we’re being pedantic, Harris already served as acting president for 1h25m on November 19, 2021 while Biden underwent a colonoscopy. If hypothetically Biden had died or resigned exactly 2 years into his term (January 20, 2023 12pm ET), and Harris assumed the presidency for the remaining two years, her total time would be over 2 years and she would be ineligible for a second term.

It’s a calculated scheme to get you to do a search for “aniprrsperient” so they can sell you deodorant

To reiterate the other comment about code maintainability, I’d suggest removing all commented out code as your next commit. With git, that information isn’t lost and you can always go back to it on commit d4c981a. The easiest time to create a clean codebase is when you start the project, and the second easiest time is now. Also might be a good idea to use a pre-commit hook to check if commented code is being committed, to stop you from introducing mess in the future.

Ohhhh you’re totally right. I tried replicating OPs claim and searched for the video title “Building an Open Source Payment System - Sebastian Javier Marchano, Taler System” and there was no red bar. Searching for “GNU Taler” shows the red bar for that same video. It feels like bad UI, overloading the meaning of the red seek bar, but it seems like in this case, that’s saying it’ll skip you to when they start talking about it, not that you previously watched the video.

I’m sure it’s tedious, but run those tests again, and when you do, before and after watching the video, go to https://www.youtube.com/feed/history and see if it tracked it. I understand you’re logged out, but maybe you’re somehow selected for a test of some sort of logged out experience.

That being said, I ran through your replication steps and could not reproduce it (even down to pulling up the same video). I also doubt that Youtube would create a feature useful for people logged out of their service, since they want to encourage you to log in because they get better data for selling ads.

Are you logged into Youtube/Google? EDIT: I see your comment in another reply saying you’re not logged in. Keeping the rest of my comment below for posterity
