How screwed would one be if the domain they bought was a ccTLD and that country ceased to exist?
- Comment on Half-Life 2 is currently 100% for its 20th anniversary 6 days ago:
Pretty sure when Orange Box was released, it included HL2 and HL2 Episode 1 in addition to HL2 Episode 2. Hard to remember because there were so many good games that came from that one purchase.

This was a great video. The ban on disposable vape can’t come sooner.
- Comment on The British government is transferring sovereignty of an island in the Indian Ocean to Mauritius next week, potentially impacting the existence of the .io domain. 1 month ago:
Interesting, that’s not something I ever thought about. I just looked up the nameservers for
.bb:;; ANSWER SECTION: bb. 86400 IN NS ns5.nic.bb. bb. 86400 IN NS ns3.nic.bb. bb. 86400 IN NS ns2.nic.bb. bb. 86400 IN NS ns1.nic.bb. bb. 86400 IN NS ns4.nic.bb. bb. 86400 IN NS ns6.nic.bb.
It seems like
ns1.nic.bbdoesn’t resolve, and for 2-6, they’re all in either64.68.192.0/20or64.119.192.0/20, so it does look like a small concentration in root nameservers which could be unavailable in a storm. - Comment on The British government is transferring sovereignty of an island in the Indian Ocean to Mauritius next week, potentially impacting the existence of the .io domain. 1 month ago:
the warning for future tech founders is clear: Be careful when picking your top-level domain. Physical history is never as separate from our digital future as we like to think.
Kinda ironic this is published to a website with a
.toccTLD for the Kingdom of Tonga. - Comment on Washington's Dream 2 - SNL 1 month ago:

- Comment on Question about Firefox - any way to open specific sites as if they were an app or program (similar to an option in Chrome)? 1 month ago:
I use PWAs for Firefox and they work ok, although I don’t have the issue you mention. For me, in Ubuntu, if I open a link in a PWA for Google Chat, then the link opens in the PWA firefox window, not my main browser window. Maybe there’s a setting I missed?
Also, the PWA acts like a separate browser, so opening Google Chat requires you to log in again to Google on the same machine. And if you open up a paywalled link, and it opens in the PWA, then you have to log in, even if you’re logged in in Firefox.
Overall 5/7 rating on usability, but did allow me to get completely off of Chrome

public facing is fine
Not exactly, if it is something unintentionally public facing, that can get you charged with access a computer without authorization under the the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. This happened in this case: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goatse_Security#AT&T/iPad_e…
sending a HTTP request with a valid ICC-ID embedded inside it to the AT&T website, the website would reveal the email address associated with that ICC-ID.
On November 20, 2012, Auernheimer was found guilty of one count of identity fraud and one count of conspiracy to access a computer without authorization

If I told my boss I have concepts of a plan during an important call with clients, I’d be fired. The fact he said this thinking it would absolve him of having to actually outline actual policy shows how empty the campaign is on anything of substance.
I have great hopes for this meme and hope it is as influential as “binders of women” in showing the absurd thinking behind the most important job in the world.

- Comment on Not casually stealing comments 2 months ago:
These are probably comments on this Veritasium video which actually pretty informative.
That being said, I also live in a “first past the post” country that forces a two-party system and penalizes voting your conscience unless it aligns with one of those parties. While there may be flaws in Ranked Choice Voting that could emerge in fringe cases, it is so obviously superior to our current system that it is hard for me to worry too much about the nuance of how it might not be 100% perfect 100% of the time. Any (democratic) system is better than what we have now.
- Comment on Anyone else get random cancellation emails from onlyfans? 2 months ago:
Sounds like someone accidentally created an account with your name. As someone who has firstname.lastname@gmail.com this happens a lot. About 10 years ago, amazon.ca allowed you to create an account and start using it without verifying control of the email address. I woke up one day and saw all orders someone made, their address, last 4 digits of their credit card number, etc. Customer service doesn’t care. Ended up having to reset their password to get them to stop.

- Comment on If Biden died tomorrow and Harris took over? and she won the election also. Could she work full two terms or would it count as one when Biden died? 2 months ago:
Biden resigning now just to make Trump’s hats invalid would be the best Dark Brandon move ever.
- Comment on If Biden died tomorrow and Harris took over? and she won the election also. Could she work full two terms or would it count as one when Biden died? 2 months ago:
If we’re being pedantic (and the Republicans would be), Harris already served as acting president for 1h25m on November 19, 2021 while Biden underwent a colonoscopy. If hypothetically Biden had died or resigned exactly 2 years into his term (January 20, 2023 12pm ET), and Harris assumed the presidency for the remaining two years, her total time would be over 2 years and she would be ineligible for a second term.
- Comment on Why is it that when I write on Googles keyboard on my phone and misspell something it has no idea what I am trying to write but if I Google the same word it knows instantly what the word is? 3 months ago:
It’s a calculated scheme to get you to do a search for “aniprrsperient” so they can sell you deodorant

- Comment on Batman: Caped Crusader | Opening Title Sequence 3 months ago:
Probably good they did something new and didn’t try to copy the classic from TAS. The style is fitting for the show (watched the first 3 episodes) and maybe it’ll grow on me over time. Hard to beat the opening of TAS or Batman Beyond though.

- Comment on DigiCert Revocation Incident (CNAME Domain Validation) 3 months ago:
Digicert really is trying to explain this as nothing whereas they avoided a huge issue if someone realized you could get a wild card certificate for a domain you don’t own. The underscore in domain validation is needed so that subdomain DNS providers don’t issue a subdomain which can be used for domain validation. Without the underscore, someone could validate a domain and the register a username without the underscore at a provider which sets your subdomain as your username.
Pretty bad situation but it could be worse if that happened and Digicert became untrusted completely.

- Comment on Does voting for Biden change anything if I live in a deep red area of my state? (Ohio) 4 months ago:
Absolutely yes. Every vote for Democrats is a vote against Trump. He has such a weak ego, your one vote along with millions of other votes against him will drive him crazy. Death by 81,283,098 cuts.
