  • Never!

    Jump

  • You could use njal.la, who charge a flat 15$ without deceptive schemes and actually protect your privacy properly too.To be fair namecheap legally can't do what njalla does since namecheap is a primary registrar and njalla secondary.

    In terms of activism I'd think both getting the cheapest option and donating 8$ a year to the eff or a similar group directly, or taking a njalla domain and donating 3$, would be cheaper than namecheap and also more effective at defending internet freedom.

  • Never!

  • In the underlying system there is no difference. A renewal is just a transfer/registration leaving the data unchanged.All cost the same and add 1 year of lifetime to the domain.Any other pricing is invented by that specific registrar and doesn't reflect actual costs.

  • Never!

    Jump

  • What a ripoff, .com has always been about 10$. The renewal being somehow more expensive than a new registration, while in actuality there is no difference in the process, really makes it obvious they charge what they think people will fall for.

    $7.85 per year in 2012. $8.39 in 2021, $8.97 in 2022, and $9.59 in 2023, $10.26 in 2024, increases always in september.

    Transfers, registrations, and renewals all cost the same and all charge the domain by 1 year. You can charge at any time for I think up to 10 years. Any registrar not passing that system on is being deceptive.

    They aren't even roping in people with prices below cost, they charge you a reasonable fee for the first year and then somehow bank on people not switching. Maybe they make the process really painful?

    Either way why would anyone use them?

    Homeowner Baffled After Washing Machine Uses 3.6GB of Internet Data a Day

    Jump

  • Nothing mentioned in this thread was wrong. The misidentification is unrelated to the 3.6GiB.

    As this post has been incorrectly reported: Just to clarify the data usage is correctly attributed to the IP address used by the LG Washing Machine. I am monitoring the data usage more closely.

    What I was referencing in inaccuracy of the router is the attribution of 622 bytes to Apple iMessage. The rogue process is likely using the same port (5223) as iMessage and ASUS router is wrongly attributing it to that.

  • 'Windmill': China tests world’s first megawatt-level airship to capture high winds

    Jump

  • It is actually a notable fraction (~60%) and more importantly constant.Meaning if your wind has 27x more energy, you can also capture 27x more energy.

    This is the energy taken from the wind passing through the disk the turbine spins in, so turbines are placed in spaced out rows to let the wind mix with all the air that didn't pass through a turbine and pick up speed again.

  • A Major Trading Firm Has Open-Sourced The Latest Linux File-System: TernFS

    Jump

  • The blog article introducing it is really good. It's also one of the few remaining actually good websites, loads fast no bloat and still has good "fancy" design.

    To summarize:

    • Massively parallel and redundant over network (including with geographic separation i.e. high pings)
    • Intended for large files (MB or larger)
    • Exabyte scale (exabytes of data, trillions of files, millions of clients)
    • Understands tiered storage (like using HDDs and SSDs appropriately)
    • No odd hardware or software requirements (Written in C++ and Go, works on anything linux works on, doesn't need a service)
    • Communicates via TCP; accessed via their linux kernel module or the ternfs network api
    • Immutable (no modifying only deleting) with snapshotting
    • Slow directory creation and removal
    • No permissions ("other services" should handle those

    The immutability and parallelism as well as tiering are similar to btrfs, though all more extreme.

    This does sound quite ideal (though overkill) for a dedicated media nas setup.

    Edit: a few more points:

    • Syncs bewteen locations are async, so there will be loss of recent data if an entire location is lost
    • Writes are authorized at a single primary location, so don't get lower latency for closer datacenters though perhaps better speeds (they plan to change this)
    • The client talks to different components (servers) directly using their IPv4 (for private setups this is too expensive if the filesystem is meant to be accessible on the internet)
    • The kernel module isn't posix compliant and needs programs to write their files start to end (which is common but not universal), else programs need to write to temp files first

  • Or the common cold!

  • When's the pollen season on the moon?

    I think you are missing the obvious cure handed right to you. Funding should be increased so you too can be free of airborne plant reproduction via the most sensible and straight forward method.If you are unhappy with the scenery, I am sure the technology developed for lunar habitation will also prove helpful for polar habitation, where similarly few natural particulates are dispersed.

  • They also say

    meaning they cannot be read by a third party

    which equally isn't true.

    If your password is guessable with trillions of attempts, and whatever information and time an attacker wants, then of course can they crack your hash, "read" your password, and try it on other services.

    Sadly the kind of password susceptible to being broken on account of not being strong enough is also the kind people use everywhere because they memorize it. A truly strong password will only be found in a password manager.

  • It's completely removable with one setting. No nags or anti-patterns or design holes.If it stops a few from sticking with whatsapp because signal lacks that "feature", I'd say it's worth it.

  • VPN company Mullvad reminds users it will no longer use OpenVPN

    Jump

  • Not sure about that. I set up a wg vpn server on a system which then became unresponsive whenever wg was fully saturating the network. Turns out there is apparently no way to throttle or prioritize a wg server, the only way I could think of would be to dedicate a vm to solely the wg vpn and throttle that vm in its networking.I instead switched to openvpn which can simply be throttled via a line in its configuration.

    Besides that missing feature, openvpn also doesn't require figuring out the right iptables commands to verbatim paste into its config as startup and shutdown commands. Setting it up was way easier than wg (though openvpn too wasn't exactly user-friendly).

    WG to me seems too clunky and unfinished for more mainstream usage, though I am sure it wouldn't be an issue for a large commercial user like mullvad that will have no issue with all that.
