Nice quote. I don't understand why so many people on HN have such a vocal dislike of DNSSEC and DoT. It's perfectly ok for DNSSEC, DoT and DoH to co-exist.

I was a heavy usenet user in the 1996-2000 era and this wasn't true for me or most of the groups i hung out on (and even less so for IRC chans). Earlier (pre-eternal september) usenet was definitely different though and I think much mo

I'm from the same cohort as you and can corroborate this. I definitely remember how strange it felt to me when social media became a thing and the taboo of attaching personally identifiable info to your web presence suddenly disappeare

Not sure I understand why GDPR has anything to do with domain _registration_ (not hosting).
128.
by corford 4y ago
Shame because they're good registrars. I wonder why the European requirement though (since the TLDs themselves are ultimately governed by the registries and you can always use your own - or third party, EU based - name servers).

Not sure if it meets the European criteria but I use a combination of DNSimple and Porkbun and am very happy with them both. For less common ccTLDs, Gandi is still hard to beat since they support virtually everything. Apart from that, I hav

Another irony is this kind of bullshit from printer vendors is exactly what spurred RMS to advocate for free software ( https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/201cthe-printer-story201... )

In my experience it's often the other way around. CTO/mgmt/HR would rather swallow the perf/cost hit of Cloud because it makes auditing, compliance, support, dr, security, training and hiring easier. Not to mention it us

I have tried it and it's great. But, because it's so effective, it's easy to over extrapolate and anthropomorphise it. I think it's useful to keep in perspective (as the article and referenced paper - https://

As a counter to this, I found a recent Guardian article on ChatGPT did a nice job of cutting through some of the more optimistic hyperbole surrounding LLMs/AI at the moment and offered instead a more grounded perspective as to what Cha

Similar memories and tales here :) I had a 100Mbit unfiltered connection in my dorm room in 2001 (!). Pretty wild for the time. I guess it took until about 2018 before I finally surpassed that speed at home. Nuts really. Lots of pirating bu

That's not at all the vibe I get from one of the lead devs posting here. I see it more as frustration from dealing with low effort snipes/trolls. The language used on the main vlang site also seems calm, clear and unsensational (a
