Available under standard registrars that offer many TLDs, like inwx.com: https://www.inwx.com/en/domain/check?domain=testtest123.name...

but which support the actual third-level domains? for example, my last name is already taken as a .name domain by verisign, what if i want my firstname.lastname.name domain?

The third-level domains are still being discontinued, it’s just that people who already have one get to keep it.

Is domain.co.uk handled differently?

Yes, because the list of second level .uk domains where domains can be registered is fixed.

You sure about that?

Well, the list of second level domains under which third level registration is possible is fixed and well known: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.uk#Second-level_domains

Gandi and 007names are the only ones I'm aware of that support the third-level domains.

You'd have to try to find the contact that owns lastname.name and work out a private deal - you won't get ICANN protections though.

One can't (officially) register such 3rd level domains anywhere anymore.

It's just a combination in the ambiguity of what "it discards the dot" should mean in GGP's message combined with the article already clarifying 3rd level domains are not available on .name anymore leading to a lot of confused comments.


So you want the only widely accepted international text encoding to require including a whole image encoding standard too?

That is a wild take, especially consider the GP asked for a server use-case. Do you just assume that all new versions should be taken as soon as possible for all packages?

There is a balance: too outdated is bad, too eager for new versions is bad. The tradeoff that LTS tries to take is older, proven versions but with relevant security fixes quickly.


Not a wild take at all. Most server use cases already use containers to precisely specify what the server workload depends on, and can only access what's in the container. I see no reason for the base system to move slowly with proven versions. Even if you don't use containers, you most likely already use language-specific tools to lock in your dependencies. Leave these to the app developers and the sysadmin can move at any speed.

"Don't worry, emudhra is not bad, we have package signing" - Ubuntu

What's the fallback after both signing and https are broken?


Living in a cave.

But in those cases people actually hosted a server, right?

In discord it's more like a slack workspace, right?

The people "hosting" a discord "server" are not actually running hardware anywhere that runs the server?


98% of the people hosting "servers" of any kind in the world are not actually running hardware, everything is timesharing compute on a hyperscaler's computer now.

But yes, a Discord server is equivalent to a Slack workspace. It's just inherited terminology.


My understanding is a lot of residential isps would be angry at you for running servers of a substantial size out of your house anyways?

Correct, they are not hosting. It's a service. Still, an admin of a Discord "server" has complete control over the server - access, permissions, roles, etc.

For what it's worth I never actually hosted a ventrilo server either, I always just paid a service to do it. Pretty much the same experience as discord is today.

That's correct. Discord co-opted established terminology for its own ends and it was very successful.

Except PMCs.

> I don't even pay the DNS mob

But you do pay someone to delegate your IP, right? Or do you have your own ASN and do your own BGP?


Nope, in my "first world" country, some consumer IAPs does offer a static IPv4 with a non-filtered SMTP port and a static IPv6 prefix (usually a /64 which is very convenient to change email address/hosting IPs when compromised, well if you use an address email with an IPv6 literal). But I don't really use IPv4 anymore for my self-hosting, IPv6 has been around _here_ for a very, very long time for nearly everybody if not everybody (even mobile internet).

Yes, I know my IPv4 is the target of distributed port scans, by IPs known as compromised by the "security" community. I guess my IAP "security" team knows, and they may probably be 'in the process of doing something to deal with them'... (which would more than IP blocking and would involve authorities...).

FTTH(8GB), static IPv6, static IPv4 plus opened SMTP port, ~30 bucks a month (for millions).


OK, so now you can't move or change ISP without having to change your email. That seems incredibly inconvenient. Also your ISP could change their plan at any time.

Also, you are still paying your ISP to delegate the IP, it's just bundled into your ISP plan.


Changing ISP is rare, then does matter less than being self-hosted.

Giving a IPv4 and IPv6 prefix is what an ISP do...

Mine is doing even more: you have access to some of its sub-domains at no additional charge. But I don't use them because they are gated by whatwg web engines (a mistake or they should be ashamed of themselves).


> GTA

I'm guessing you mean GTA 3, but then we also had GTA Vice City... and GTA San Andreas. Which are all three in the top 5 selling games for the PS2.


Im going PS2 as peek as the sheer number of titles made for it and the ability to play PS1. First edition PS3 with hardware backward compatibility and running yellow dog linux might win over that if they didnt nerf it.

That being said I recently got the Analog 3d with 4 controllers and theres something amazing about the speed at which u can boot and get into a 4 player game.


Does /etc/ssl/cert.pem not exist if you don't install XCode?


Seems like it's due to the recent brotli bugs. The other blocker is stratis, but to be honest I'm not sure if that is a no-go.


Stratis is the only accepted blocker, it's a no go because it makes encrypted installs completely unbootable. I guess Brotli is already patched through a freeze exception.
