I used Njalla. It worked fine for me and was really simple to manage. In the end I decided to switch since their strength is also their weakness. You don't own the domain, they own it. They register it to their name and you can manage it but when they go bankrupt (doesn't look like it) or decide you are violating their terms (and maybe you aren't but they still decide that you are) they can cancel your service and you are not able to get your domain back, since it was never in your name.

There are stories from people who lost their domain. But I only heard about this from others and I always find it questionable about why these people are coming out with these kind of stories, were they really not violating the terms or were they and are just upset that they got caught...

Njalla works this way to make sure nobody knows who you are and who registered the domain, because even if law enforcement would ask for the owner at the tld registrar they would get Njalla as the owner. And you don't need to let Njalla know who you are, so that's where it ends. But in the end I got nervous that someday they would cancel my domains or that they decided to stop the service and I would lose access to my domains and email. Is that a legit fear? Probably not. I have had domains with them for 5 years and never had a problem. You can transfer your domain since you can request the transfer key via the admin page and you will recieve one instantly. So you don't really notice not owning the domain until something happens. Would I recommend them? Sure, if you want extra privacy and are fine with no ability to prove ownership of a domain might something happen.

I now have my domains at https://flokinet.is/. A company based in Iceland. The site is from the '10s and the billing section is slow but they where mentioned as a privacy friendly option as well and apart from the transfer (I did things wrong with DNSSEC and they where a bit slowish with response, but mostly due to my impatience) I haven't had a problem with them.

That's what Trump wants, right? To isolate the US from other countries and let them work stuff out themselves? Looks like his strategy is working. But of course cry baby wants to be included and mingle in other countries' business.

Fully agree with your point, but to be fair Steam sucked balls in the OG Counter Strike days. It was dretchingly slow, buggy and nobody wanted to use it. So other stores sucking balls in the beginning by being buggy is not that strange. Although all the anti-consumer stuff is not bad programming, just bad morals.

Has been done. Or maybe this image is AI, that could also be true.

While the headline is meant to be sensational, I think this is a good reason for Mexico to invade the US. The ammoterrorists need to be stopped from taking over the Mexican streets!

/s, kinda...

She doesn't look like she's cumming, are you sure she will soon?

Yes, a lot! When I haven't had such a day in a while, I start noticingd it in my energy level and willingness to plan social activities.

https://www.computer.org/csdl/proceedings-article/hicss/2012/06149194/12OmNyKJiDq doesn't support my claim since on the aggregate level it's reduced and on individual level it remains the same. But to not be too biased (by my own claim), thought it was worthwhile to post it. They do say here that it only reduced malicious comments by 0.9% (so it didn't increase).
Here it says it doesn't help. This article says discrimination increases, but I can't find the original source. They say real names are better then full anonimity, but worse then pseudonimity.

But searching for the right study, I can't seem to find it. Only news articles claiming it, but that's not much of a study. So maybe I shouldn't have said it increases, but it doesn't decrease (depending on which study and which aggregate level you look at). A lot of articles point at facebook where people need to use their real name but still post a lot of unfriendly stuff.

There have been a few studies that say scams, discrimination, racism and bullying will increase when people are forced to use their real name. In this case it's probably because off a different reason, but still.

This is the only app I've never changed in the last decade (or for how long they have existed). Sometimes I see something new come by and I wonder if I need to switch, but Todoist just works for me. All others (notetaking, calendar, browser, etc.) have changed multiple times, but this one is steady. Also just the right amount of updates and changes.

A max vehicle tonnage won't work since you need to exempt trucks and delivery vans (or change a couple of things drastically). So you could say that when something is used for work/delivery they are exempt and all others have a max tonnage. But since these guys buy and register it as a work vehicle, they will not be hit by the max tonnage.

 

Recently I started shooting RAW+JPEG because sometimes I don't want to post-proces my images and just straight use them. However, when comparing both I find no difference in colors or other adjustments. The SOOC JPEG with Velvia Film Simulation has the same colors, saturation, etc. as the unedited RAW file. What am I doing wrong?

 

I think everybody on here is constantly keeping an eye out for what to host next. Sometimes you spinup something which chugs along nicely but sometimes you find out you've been missing out.

For me it's not very refreshing or new: Paperless-ngx. Never thought I would add all my administration to it. But it's great. I probably can't find the thing I need, but I should have a record of every mail or letter I've gotten. Close second is Wanderer. But I would like to have a little bit more features like adding recorded routes to view speed and compare with previous walks. But that's not what it is intended for.

What is that service for you?

 

I'm not sure this is even a Pi-Hole problem, but since it's most apparent there I hoped someone here can point me in a direction to solve the problem.

Every hour from 10 too till about 15 minutes past Pi-Hole has a lot of N/A replies for DNS lookups. At that moment internet slows down, pages load for 10 or 15 seconds or sometimes not at all. When running dig on the host of Pi-Hole it shows that it can't connect to my router. Pi-Hole is hosted as a container on a Intel NUC with Proxmox. The router is a unifi security gateway. As DNS resolvers I use Quad9 and dns0.eu. Pinging IP addresses keep working during this period. Resolving/visiting local domainnames (like pihole or my NAS) keep working.

Where can I start to look for a solution? It almost feels like a cronjob of some sorts, but there is not a lot of traffic going through the network at these times. Also the proxmox host does nothing at that moment.

 

I'm looking for a summerwatch from a microbrand. It needs to fit with shorts and t-shirts and be colorful and feel loke summer. I think the Studio Underd0h Pink Lem0nade fits the bill, but I don't want to wait for another drop and delivery.

What do you think would fit the description?
