I couldn't post there because Reddit allowed the advertiser to lock the thread with no comments. The Ad is very flashy, it hurt my eyes within seconds, I'm not epileptic, but I am worried for those who are.

For Google Domains customers being dumped onto Squarespace (like me):
https://domains.squarespace.com/google-domains
"Squarespace will honor all existing Google Domains customers’ renewal prices for at least 12 months after closing the acquisition, ensuring that domain hosting and management remains hassle-free."
It seems like there's no hurry to consider migrating yet.
If I do migrate:
- might consider Namecheap
- GoDaddy's renewal pricing I can't figure out
- Porkbun sounds too hipster for my tastes though I do like pork
- Cloudflare sounds altruistic but they want to get up all inside my domain's stuff with their proxying; I'm not sure if that could cause any issues with my Letsencrypt or other TXT records.backendanon commented on How does Linux NAT a ping? devnonsense.com/posts/how... · Posted by u/willdaly
NAT is such a trashy abstraction. IPv4 needs to die.
IPv6 needs to die. IPv4 using NAT ensures a moderately high level of privacy. IPv6 with privacy extensions does not.

Ubuntu kinda sucks now too. "Sign up for an account" is part of the install flow just like Windows.
Fedora is my default "easy" Linux install nowadays, the excessively corporate vibes I get from Ubuntu feel very wrong for a Linux distro.
First, there's nothing overbearing about the Ubuntu install.
Second, Fedora uses rpm management, rpm repositories sooner or later corrupt themselves, happened to me and others I know on Red Hat, on Fedora and on SuSE.
I'd use Debian but I've found Ubuntu's driver management to be far more stable and reliable, especially for WiFi.
I was in Sasebo, Japan in the early 1980's and remember buying cold coffee in a can from a vending machine similar to buying a can of Coke in the States.

backendanon commented on Mullvad on Tailscale: Privately browse the web tailscale.com/blog/mullva... · Posted by u/xd1936
I've never used Tailscale or Mullvad, I do use a VPS and Wireguard that I configured and run. I'm wondering if people working at Tailscale or Mullvad could snoop on the traffic passing through their servers?
I don't know if this is still the case but Redhat had strict rules requiring all servers and desktops to be RHEL. By strict I mean they boasted in front of my coworker and other customers there for the RHCE and their own employees that anyone deviating would be fired on the spot. But this a long time ago RHEL3 timeline.
