   I can sell and have the money in my account in 2-4 days. It would off cause be a bit sad to sell at a loss right after a "crash" or correction of the market. But in an emergency, I could. I also keep 2 years worth of spending in t

   I had a funny issue with Windows 10 a few years ago. I tried to start cmd.exe and nothing happened. Tried a bunch of times more. Still nothing... I was connected to a WiFi network that allowed ping to the entire Internet but not TCP connect

   The three subscriptions available here in Denmark are: SD: $11.46, HD: $14.37, UHD: $18.72 (UHD is a bit of a joke with that birate, but that is another matter). For low income households that can be quite a lot. Combine that with Netflix h

   Only the use case with the largest market share matters? That kind of thinking, really irks me.

   I would like to thank both you, and the parent for adding valuable points of views in a complicated debate in a concise and civil manner. I had had an "I agree" and "On the other hand" moment. For me this illustrated the

    Maybe when it is a bit more complete. Currently too much is hardcoded for it to be useful outside my setup. But if you look at one of the existing dnsapi plugins you will notice that only two functions need to be implemented. The rest is de

    I have written a small plugin for the acme.sh dnsapi that works with my DNS setup. I run acme.sh in a FreeBSD jail (acme-client). It writes files that are picked up by another jail (acme-dns) that runs nsd. This jail is NOT one of my main a

    Funny coincidence that it was named "writegood" by a guy named Benjamin and "Silence Dogood" was a pen name of Benjamin Franklin.

    I read "well off white guy" as implying privilege. I am not sure that is the same as accusing someone of being a racist. The benefits of that privilege can help make your life easier, whether you asked for the privilege or not. An

    I have run a server with a similar setup for many years. And some people get really confused. It can be quite funny sometimes. The best moment was my SO explaining to someone on the phone, why the email address included their company name.

    I have come to expect some tracking of stuff that happens in my browser. I try to block as much of it as I can with noscript, ublock, etc. But I do not expect applications outside of my browser to behave like web sites do.
