Any when you complain about it, Matrix accuses you of acting in the interests of the attackers. I've quit it entirely. They have a real victim complex and don't understand that people have legitimate complaints about them.

How do you test something is working if one person is making changes? You stop then test.

I'm playing about with collaborative code editors at the moment. See https://mastodon.social/@Edent/114862593530392361 I want an experience more like Google Docs and less like emailing diffs to a mailing list.

As I say, "Look, there are some times when you need a local copy." You should keep whatever you want locally. But if you're sharing with someone - especially something sensitive - you probably need access controls.

That's so nifty! Thanks :-) Do all the tools use TXT records? Or are there any which use LOC, NAPTR, etc?

Cool! Please set it up and write a blog post about it. I'm not being snarky. I've never set up something like that and I'm sure lots of people would be happy to ready about it.

Lots of people don't want to talk to strangers. It is socially unacceptable to wear a T-shirt saying "please don't talk to me" - but headphones are socially acceptable. And yet still, plenty of women report persistent

RFCs are, in my experience, vague about the problem they're attempting to solve. There's no reason this couldn't be a human-readable string like "42 Wallaby Way, Sidney".

Freenom used to do that. Free domains on .ml and bunch of other TLDs. Unsurprisingly, with zero cost and zero registration information, they were very popular with spammers - https://krebsonsecurity.com/2023/05/phi

Do you understand how laws work? Laws are not computer code. They're not run, unthinkingly, by a judge acting as a CPU. We have humans (like juries) looking to see whether an offence was committed. Are they going to find someone guilty
