• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which domain registry or specific TLD do you prefer, and why?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The ccTLDs of the EU member countries are a very good idea if you’re an EU citizen because they have built-in privacy for individuals (they don’t publish their info in WHOIS) and are also subject to GDPR.

  Still overthinking, I found CZ NIC might be interesting for security, but definitely not privacy.
  www.nic.cz/page/383/faq/

  Protect your domain or contact from unsolicited changes. Block them at CZ.NIC Association and no change will be possible through the registrar. If you want to change anything first it will be necessary to unblock a domain or a contact with CZ.NIC. These blockings are confirmed by an electronic or certified signature. Nowadays it is possible to block or unblock a domain online in the Domain Browser (on www.domenovyprohlizec.cz) - this applies only for validated accounts mojeID

  On that website, it also mentions possibility to use EU ID for that purpose, so I’d be fine. But it doesn’t allow hiding my address.
  Indeed - “Why do you show my home address on your website? Can I disable it?”:

  All personal information is automatically hidden, except for the name of the organization, the name of the individual and the postal address. It is also possible to hide the postal address information if the contact is registered to a natural person (the Organization field is not filled in) and at the same time is managed via the MOJEID service and the contact is validated.

  But the requirement to validate is:

  As part of improving our services, we have replaced the former validation process with a new one — linking the account with the National Point for Identification and Authentication (i.e. getting access to public administration services), which also includes identity verification.

  Which is this thingy: portal.gov.cz/en

  Finally, if trying to sign up there I get to a FAQ that states this for question if it can be used by foreigners:

  Yes, you can if you have in the Czech Republic permanent or temporary residence, visa sticker, temporary international protection or granted international protection.

  So it seems while I could get better security than with other registries, my home address would be made public.

  That seems to be a regustrar, not a registry. What TLDs do you use? For example, Verisign operates .com, .net, .cc and .name.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which domain registry or specific TLD do you prefer, and why?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  why not host your own

  I’ll first have to research how, but at no point will I consider myself as reliable as some professional provider like Cloudflare.
  On the other hand, Cloudflare is kind of becoming the internet with all the centralization. Imagine if Cloudflare and AWS completely went offline at the same time. The internet would be fairly quiet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which domain registry or specific TLD do you prefer, and why?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is good EU related info.

  Wasn’t meant to be. I didn’t mention that .eu is only available for citizens, residents and companies in a European Union Member State, Iceland, Liechtenstein or Norway.

  And history shows that (a country) exiting the EU means losing the domain name: eurid.eu/…/update-on-brexit-related-domain-names/

  OK, now I am even more interested. dig doesn’t return an A record:

  Somehow, it does work in a browser. I tried different DNS servers as well (including NextDNS which I use in a browser), none returns an A record (or AAAA). So, naturally, I am curios what IP the browser uses. Since it clearly works, I tried ping just so that I could see the resulting IP, and figure out where it’s coming from.

  $ ping glauca.digital
  ping: glauca.digital: No address associated with hostname
  

  Great. That makes absolutely no sense at all. Where is Firefox getting the information from?
  So I went to about:networking DNS tab. The address field is empty. I am just typing this as I test. It’s just cache in my browser.

  I guess that would answer on reliability question. At least their nameservers still resolve to IP.

  Wouldn’t that just resolve to IP of techaro, thus providing a “wrong” TLS certificate?

  Except that

  1. The driver disc from archive.org still works just fine
  2. I do use Linux, and it “just works” there, except for high DPI

  So if I want to use high DPI, I need Windows in VirtualBox.
  By the way, the high DPI mode takes 20 minutes to print one A4 page. But the result is really damn sharp, almost like a laser printer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anker is recalling over 1.1 million power banks due to fire and burn risks⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Point is, this could probably be buried in the many other blowing up power banks. Years old power bank caught on fire doesn’t make much news. Yet Anker went with a recall (though unfortunately it’s US only). Makes Anker look even better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anker is recalling over 1.1 million power banks due to fire and burn risks⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I was searching for something like that ereyesterday. Couldn’t find anything aside from maybe Xtar BC4 which is a battery charger with power bank function, but even if that works properly, it’s going to be not very useful capacity-wise.

  I have one of those 4xAA power banks from AliExpress, but it quickly drops voltage way too far. It’s fine for USB LED lights and running my USB fan for 5 hours (with some old NI-MH batteries I have), but it won’t charge most things due to the voltage drop. One more problem is the series connection. Weaker cells can get reverse-charged and damaged during discharge.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anker is recalling over 1.1 million power banks due to fire and burn risks⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The company has received 19 reports of fires and explosions

  The recall covers about 1,158,000 units that were sold online through Amazon, Newegg, and eBay between June 2016 and December 2022.

  That still sounds more trustworthy than random power bank from Wish.

  I’ve had a power bank with earbuds (yes) from AliExpress that just randomly started to feel quite warm. Not the battery being a problem, some chip (SY7656) on the board was cooking.
  I tried to replace it, but I couldn’t do a good job without a heat gun. It broke again after a few weeks. Probably overheated as I couldn’t do anything about solder that was supposed to be below it. But anyway…

  Also had a cheap power bank from Tesco that would self-discharge in 3 days.

  Ah, no. It’s for CDs only. Specifically Mode 2 used for audio since that gives more control over what is 1 and 0.

  If this is CD-RW try cdrecord blank=fast first if it isn’t blank. Just an idea.

  How famous is Lemmy? The linked hackaday post seems to be from 2022, the github page had last activity 3 years ago.

  Perhaps hackernews was a middlestep: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44208283

  But otherwise it may as well originate from my recent Lemmy post: old.lemmy.sdf.org/post/36007202 (the old subdomain usually works as well as the API, but the native Lemmy frontend on SDF, 502 or long wait)

  I’ve also seen Lemmy being used as a source for something on Linus Tech Tips.

  Maybe a stupid idea, but try manually selecting the SSD in boot menu. I don’t trust UEFI/BIOS to do what it’s supposed to after finding out that HP UEFI simply wipes all boot entries after booting an external drive.

  I tried switching to the Nvidia drivers but all I got was a black screen.

  That does sound familiar from when I used GeForce 8600M GT laptop. Nouveau mostly worked, but the official NVidia driver did this. What worked was switching to an old kernel, Linux 5.4 on that thing. But I don’t like this “solution”.
