That's the very sad thing, it's harder and harder to differentiate phishing from real email campaign, not only because phishing is getting better at imitating real emails, but because real marketing emails are using the same trick

I'm under the impression that mDNS / DNS-SD worked out of the box on Ubuntu at least, for printers (I'm not sure, maybe installing avahi manually is needed if it's not there by default, but I wouldn't call that &quo

In French, the translation for vegan sounds something like "vegetalist". I agree bacteria are not animals, but they are not vegetal either. But I guess this would exclude muchrooms too :D

Is it? It feels like it exploit the hard work of those poor bacterias ;)

It's not obvious at all. Actually it's not obvious at all that anything else than yourself can feel pain :) I agree that it's a reasonable extrapolation though :)

UPDATE: that's it, the registry did take the domain back. As I expected, they took domain for themselves... Whois says: This name is reserved by the Registry in accordance with ICANN Policy. >>> Last update of WHOIS database:

(and I don't think renting is a much better term than owning when it comes to domain. I can sell the domains I registered, that's rarely the case for things you rent)

You mean the registry. If you are going to be pedantic, you should at least be precise ;)

I control the domain if you prefer.

by forty 5y ago
In my case I actually own and control the domain (I'm in the whois and my website shows up in the browser)

by forty 5y ago
Interesting thanks. This does say there was activity on this domain before
853.
by forty 5y ago
At least right now I control the domain. I think the registry messed up as they allowed my registration, not the registar. Thanks for the info on the migration, that could indeed explain this.

The thing I'm wondering is whether the registry is not trying to get the domain back for them (which would be possible given the domain). I cannot find any trace of the domain on the internet, so at least I don't think it was used
855.
by forty 5y ago
Absolutely. I'm not screaming that's it's unfair or anything. The good things about centralized systems like this is that there are rules and laws. If the ICANN rule says the registry can do that in this case, then fine, I wo

The registry is the .io registry so it's bound to the domain (so no) I might be able to transfer it to another registar, but I'm not sure it would help (the registar is Gandi and I trust them)

Ask HN: I purchased a domain and now the registry wants to take it back

I really wanted to like XMPP back in the days, but honestly I always ended up feeling that the protocol is just bad. This idea of opening an XML document at the beginning of the stream, then only allowing a subset of XML and all the mess wi

I agree with that. I'm not saying boring is bad. It's just that I find it weird to choose Go because it's enjoyable ^^

I'd love to build my stuff faster (of course), I tried SWC and it seems impressive. But as long as it doesn't include a TS compiler that check types, I'm not exactly sure where/how I would use it. Both locally and in my

> The Rust version probably could be made to work at an equivalent speed with enough effort. But at a high level, Go was much more enjoyable to work with. Wow. I always thought Go was a language for depressed (or depressing? :)) devs ;)

Haha as a scala and rust lover I can only agree with you, though one thing you cannot deny to C macros is that they are pretty flexible ^^

In France a strategy that was successfully used a while ago to cast extra votes undetected was to use dead people identities. Maybe something similar could be implemented in the UK, even more easily if no identity proof is required :)

Just an extra thought: as soon as you are running anything from an npm "script" it's also lost, because any package is free to add anything in node_modules/.bin which then gets added to the PATH of those npm "script

You can boot your rpi to mainline uboot (it does not remove the wonky firmware though :) ) I feel wonky firmwares are pretty common in the arm world though (and in other worlds too)

In the specific case of JS import, it's still going to be pretty bad though, I guess, since you have to download a file, parse it to figure out the deps, then fetch them, parse them, etc, so you are limited in what you can do in parall

I see, so a front end thing indeed :) (and yes deno, which I feel the main purpose is to bring the problems and debates of the front end devs, in an otherwise much saner js backend end world ^^ )

In practice I think downloading many small files is actually slower than a single bigger file. It might not be so true today with http2 for example though.

I think the trick is mostly not to have a shitload of dependencies. If you have to load a bunch of huge frameworks, whether it's bundled or you have to download thousands of files one by one, it's going to be slower than not doing
