Hey all you selfhosters and homelabbers. When you are in need of a new fancy domain, where du you get it und how much d you roughly pay for it monthly. Are there any tld's which are really cheap? I mean there really seem to be people out there collecting that stuff and i think that must be quite expensive when you collect exessively.
@homelab@fedigroups.social_de porkbun.com, it depends what you need. Some domains are cheap but don't have a good reputation for sending mails for example. And check at different providers, porkbun has generally good prices and a wide range of tlds but .me for example is way cheaper at cloudflare
Dirt-cheap or “free” TLDs are riddled with abuse and widely blocked (particularly for email). Get a domain from a legitimate provider in a real top level domain (your country domain, traditional .com, .org etc are some good ones. .xyz, .top or .io are some to avoid.)
Then hang subdomains off it for any services you need.
@homelab@fedigroups.social_de I learned the E-Mail thing with .xyz the hard way. Don't even try it, you'll regret it. I used to have more domains but now I have one .com tld for serious stuff, and a .cc because it's just cheap for nothing yet, if then only private stuff. And .club for an eventual project with a friend, it was nicely short. Edit: Oh yeah and a .me I manage for someone at another provider.
the thing with the email is a good point, althought the project i think about wouldnt need a mailserver. But good to know that and to consider that in the future.
Inbound email isn’t a problem, but if you might ever want to send mail from the service (newsletters, support mail, password resets, employee / volunteer internal comms, sysadminy alert mail, anything) you can save future you a huge amount of pain by using a grown up domain for the project.
@homelab@fedigroups.social_de I actually started having a problem with inbound mail. That's why I switched ultimately. I was manually signed up for something regarding work, and it wouldn't accept my personal xyz e-mail at that time. Well, you learn from it...
Although the strike by maintenance workers at Société de transport de Montréal (STM) has been suspended, Labour Minister Jean Boulet still wants to bring forward the implementation of his law to limit pressure tactics, arguing that a work stoppage by…
Ah yeah the typical "it's the bike lanes and parking" bullshit. No it's not. Last time I wanted to pay a visit to the store to buy something they were the only one in town that seemed to have it I was caught of guard that at 15:00 in Saturday they were closed.
Old Montreal is the most car unfriendly place. Has always been. And it should be pedestrianised. As for Photo Service, there is Camtec on the same street (two locations)
I don't deny the reality of the business. And the fact they are all undercut by the anti-labour fascist supporter villain from Seattle. I try to make my best to use local stores to buy photo gear and it's not always going the best way. From those that take your money for the pre-order that takes a while, and those that don't have what you want.
Today's 3d art, "The Last of the Litter," might be a bit heart-wrenching. It's one of those images where everything slowly came together: the elements I used, the lighting, and then the postwork. No AI.
a podcaster I really like just said: if you think the background music is too loud, this podcast just isn't for you. And I'm close to tears. Before I realised headphones made it easier for me, I really struggled with listening to any podcast with background music. I often wondered if I could email creators if they can email me a version without music, but it never did. A few years ago I found a podcast about Long-Covid and it had two edits for every episode; with and without background sounds and sound effects. It made me go: thank goodness someone out there knows this is a need. I never saw a podcast like that ever again. Not everything has to be accessible I guess, and if you're a person creating a whole podcast by yourself in your garage you're probably really proud of all of it, and you hate the idea that someone doesn't like a part of it. That's valid. But I cannot watch any video or animation. My brain crashes when I try to read more than a hundred words with my eyes. Podcasts and audiobooks are my only entertainment. And I unsubscribe to a podcast because the sound editing makes me ill about once a week. If all the shows only say: 'if you're bothered by the sounds, this show isn't for you'. Then what is for me?
Der Artikel lässt mich ratlos zurück. Mit diesem gezeigten Verhalten, Mann bespuckt Frau weil sie ihm nicht so zu Willen sein möchte, wie er es will, geht es nicht nur um einen Tabubruch. Es geht darum, dass wir feststellen müssen, dass die Welt immer frauenfeindlicher wird. Dass Männer, die garantiert der Incel oder Pick Up Artists Szene angehören nicht nur auf social Media sondern auch im Fernsehen immer präsenter werden.
In der aktuellen Folge von „Temptation Island VIP“ sorgt Kandidat Aleks Petrović mit respektlosem Verhalten für Empörung. Der Sender lässt die Szenen unkommentiert. Medienexperten kritisieren einen kalkulierten Tabubruch.
I use #Amazon for both #groceries as well as things i need in my apt. each month. I'm #disabled and live on a fixed income. I also receive #EBT / #SNAP benefits to eat.
Where i live in a big city with sales tax, the places that are local cost a lot more than what i can get food and products for online. Amazon takes EBT/SNAP and delivers to my door which is also helpful.
Is there a good, simple todo list app/service for recurring tasks? Something where we can mark each item as needing to be done daily/weekly/monthly and have it reset? Bonus points if we can just open an app/page on a tablet and keep it that way?
My partner is looking for something other than printed task lists to manage personal care attendants. We want to check "Empty laundry" one morning, then have it reset for the next morning's shift. Obviously more than that, but we also need it to be simple so it doesn't confuse the tens of new attendants coming through here every month.
It feels like Monday all over again. So did yesterday. So did Monday. STOP IT WITH THE MONDAYS! I have nothing against them, it's not Thursday, after all, but that's not how the week goes.
Die EU-Staaten wollen Internet-Diensten dauerhaft eine freiwillige Chatkontrolle erlauben. Viele Staaten bedauern, dass es keine ausreichende Mehrheit für eine verpflichtende Chatkontrolle gibt. Weitere Änderungen lehnen sie strikt ab.

Manchmal weiß ich es auch nicht. Zum Beispiel was man auf diesen Zettel antworten sollte.

Hi, I'm curious to learn more about your team's plans for accessibility in Servo, particularly for addressing the performance problem. Are you planning to use AccessKit, or implement one or more platform accessibility APIs from scratch so you can try a different approach from what we did in AccessKit?
@matt So far we're still in an exploratory phase, checking the possibility to use AccessKit and how things will fit together. Probably the best place to ask about this and discuss with the developers is the Zulip chat: servo.zulipchat.com/
On November 11, 1952, a groundbreaking demonstration unfolded in the upscale surroundings of Beverly Hills, California, forever altering the landscape of entertainment and communication.

I need to figure out how I can set up a self-hosted system to sell my documentary The Illusionists.
Sure, I could host it on PeerTube and add all kinds of foreign language subtitles there... but I need a solution to generate unique URLs for everyone who purchases a 48-hour streaming license... all this to avoid piracy of course.
Yes I know the Fediverse loves 🏴☠️ but how can we independent filmmakers survive?
I've been using a mainstream platform to sell my film and they have just been bought by an infamous company, so I want to decamp ASAP.
I would love your suggestions.
And no, services that offer to sell digital products won't work because it's a 90 minute film that requires subtitles for many so the viewer needs to see it on an online platform that displays subtitles.
We specialize in music, but we're in talk with one filmmaker to include movie release on join.unreleased.art/ in January. If you want to chat with our Xavi (instagram.com/goodboyshady) about how you imagine it, the technology can follow. I'm quite flexible in building it and it's not powered by US tech bros.
Auf Grund eines akuten Anfalls von Fettfingerrigkeit bestellte ich neulich FFP2 Masken in der Kindergröße, anstatt der regulären Größe. Da der Händler die falsch bestellten Masken, im Rahmen des "Umtauschs" in die Erwachsenengröße nicht zurück haben wollte, habe ich nun 120 FFP2 Masken in der Kindergröße übrig und zu verschenken. Die Masken kommen jeweils in 20er Packs. Bevorzugt würde ich möglichst viele en Block abgeben wollen, um Versandkosten zu sparen.
Vermutlich eher weniger. Ob es die hier wirklich nicht gibt oder ob sich Niemand traut es zuzugeben, weil damit der eigene perfekte Anstrich ein Kratzerchen bekommen könnte, vermag ich nicht zu beurteilen. Ich könnte mir aber vorstellen, dass hier extrem schnell ge- und verurteilt wird, und dass auch das eine Rolle spielt. Ich glaube, dass etwas Realismus diesem Nerzwerg gut täte und etwas weniger schwarz oder weiß und absolute Wahrheiten.
Thinking about all these repeated attempts to strip away privacy to make it easier for cops to catch bad guys.
And honestly, I get their point. Figuring out who dun the crime is really hard, there's a reason TV detectives are admired as such super-smart people.
But... I think it was Pratchett who wrote in one of his books that if it were up to the police, everybody in a city would be required to sit still in the open with their hands visible, to make their jobs easier. It would certainly reduce crime!
But the only reason they're asking for this is because people don't really understand what strong encryption is really for. If they were to ask for similar access to our physical lives, the push-back would be much, much stronger.
"Criminals often conceal themselves, or 'Hide Out' in residential buildings. They make use of so-called 'Curtains' or 'Drapes' to ensure that they remain hidden. This is why we want all homes to be built without curtain rails, introduce a curtain license (biometric ID required on application), and all curtains are to be fitted with a remote control device allowing any officer to open it from the outside. To alleviate privacy concerns, no officer will be allowed to operate their standard-issue curtain remote control without a warrant."
"Police were unable to capture a wanted criminal last night when they were stymied by a black market door-locking device known as a 'dead-bolt'. These ominously-named devices are designed to secure a door against entry by police officers and anybody else the occupant may wish to exclude. Privacy advocates point out that there are many other legitimate uses for these dead-bolts"
OpenAI’s Atlas browser with built-in ChatGPT is marketed as being a step closer to a ‘true super-assistant,’ but it’s more like a true privacy nightmare. Let’s take a look at why ChatGPT Atlas browser must be avoided.
🤖 AI browsers are NOT safe!
There is a thing called "prompt injection" and it works.¹
Funnily the thing that most see as a major issue with AI, the
crawling of the #web and one-way use of it's content, is exactly what makes their AI browsers unsafe…
How is this different from the cloud-based "AI" features now being integrated into Windows, MacOS, iOS, and I'm assuming, Android? What is preventing them from harvesting everything you do, everything you look at, and everything you have stored, right now, without installing anything else?
Jay. 🥳 Da war er wieder der #Augenoptik -Klassiker! Älterer Herr um die 80. Sehleistung vollkorrigiert weit unter Fahrtauglichkeit. Das wollte er nur leider nicht hören und fing richtig an rumzupoltern… 🙄 Ich versuche sowas den Menschen immer schonend beizubringen, aber wenn‘s um‘s „heil’ge Blechle“ geht… -Und deshalb bin ich für regelmäßige #Fahrtauglichkeitsprüfungen. -Und zwar für JEDES Alter.
@MeierSchulze Man stelle sich vor, es gäbe Alternativen zum individuellen Kraftverkehr. Vielleicht wäre dann diese Angst nicht mehr so krass, wenn die Fahruntauglichkeit festgestellt wird. Wo ich das so schreibe: Ist auch ein krasses Wort, über das man vielleicht nachdenken könnte.
#Apple hat gestern(?) das "iPhone Pocket" vorgestellt.
Jetzt zerreißen sich die Kommentatoren die Münder über dieses hoffnungslos überteuerte Stückchen Stoff. Und die Kommentare sind allesamt berechtigt.
Allerdings trifft das im Grunde auf jedes Modeaccessoire zu (und als solches sehe ich das "iPhone Pocket"). Alle, ausnahmslos alle, sind hoffnungslos überteuerte Unsinnigkeiten und Ausdruck der gesellschaftlichen Dekadenz.
Weniger ist mehr: Klare Regeln für Farbkontraste und semantische Bedeutungen schaffen Übersichtlichkeit, Transparenz und Vertrauen. Limettengrün für Bestätigungen, Rot für Warnungen. Konsequent umgesetzt, vermeiden sie kognitive Überlastung und manipulatives Design.
Strategische Farbwahl ist also nicht nur schön, sondern nachhaltig und rechtssicher. OpenTalk zeigt, wie moderne Farbgestaltung digitale Lösungen benutzerfreundlich und zukunftssicher macht.
In unserer Serie „5 Fragen zu" geben unsere Expertinnen und Experten Antworten zu wichtigen Themen rund um OpenTalk, Open Source-Software, digitaler Souveränität und aktuellen Branchentrends.
