The new icann directive is that they suggest we shutdown whois. So in theory at least there will be only RDAP. I'm guessing all the distros will add something soon. On the other hand my employer and I imagine most other registries are

I'm currently updating my organization's RDAP system up to the latest ICANN profile so please forgive me if I sound a little salty. What ICANN aren't admitting is that while there was no formal RFC standard to the output of W

This. In my country a stop for a traffic offense is more likely to be for a bribe than for a ticket and if they found the money the officers would just keep it for themselves. On the other hand we clearly have much better banks the the USA

For a CEO of a public company this is about as close to a perp walk with your stuff in a cardboard box as it gets.

If you ask OpenAI to stop, using robots.txt, they actually will. What Aaron was trying to achieve was great, how he want about it is what ruined his life.

Aaron Swartz was targeted by some pretty overly zealous prosecution no objection, but lets not forget that what he really did. He put a laptop in a wiring closet that was DOSing JSTOR and kept changing IPs to avoid being blocked. The admins

The US population has gone from 150 million in 1950 to over 350 million. This has been accompanied by a huge migration from rural areas to the city. There is no way house prices could not go up but there is always going to be a limit on how

On the face of it this is appalling. I don't suppose anyone inside of Mozilla would like to comment (anonymously obviously) ?

Without a lot more information I suspect this is a correlation is not causation issue. The same way that heart disease is strongly correlated with drinking diet soda. Once the person begins suffering from heart disease, diabetes etc they ha

That's exactly what happened. My old home HP printer is about 16 years old and still rock solid. If I didn't know any better I would be recommending the brand to everyone I know. Not everyone is as depressingly online as the HN

Isn't this also just basic economics in action? Companies have always tried to maximize their revenue. It might be faster now but the process is no different than your local supermarket messing with the price of toilet paper every few

I'm busy moving from Plex to Jellyfin. The Plex UI is better but only a little bit better. On the other hand they are really REALLY irritating with re-enabling their online adverts. Every time you upgrade its comes back again. Or your

Its got a lot better over the years. 25+ years ago MySQL was fast and easy to admin but didn't have rollback and a bunch of other features. At the same time Postgres had the features but was horrible for performance and usability. Th

48Vdc is supposedly the highest voltage that is still considered safe. ( https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/267789/how-s... ) It certainly sounds like a smart move on the copper savings alone.
