Not sure if it's still the case, but they used to be a reseller for a lot of TLDs (I think via eNom), rather than directly selling the domains themselves. It caused issues with slow support since you'd open a ticket with them, then they'd have to open a ticket with their upstream provider and relay any replies. It was a pain.
I'm glad to see another Relay user! It's underrated - it seems like a bunch of other apps get the spotlight, but Relay is still my favourite reddit app.
Check LowEndTalk; you should be able to find good deals there.
I've got the specs of my own VPSes here in case you're curious: https://d.sb/servers. Most of them are for https://dnstools.ws/ but I've got a few high storage ones. I can share pricing on any of them.
It should be doable. I've got a VPS with HostHatch in Los Angeles, 120GB NVMe, 16GB RAM, for around $77/year. This is a proper VPS with good hardware (AMD EPYC and Samsung gen 4 enterprise NVMe and a good network - it's not just something like Contabo. Here's their most recent sales thread (sale is no longer active though: https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/185742/celebrating-12-years-in-business/p1)
It wouldn't be for everyone, but at least it'd give us an easier option to submit new entries ourselves. They could still keep the email address there for non-tech-savvy users.
I wish the site was open-source so I could just submit pull requests to add new ones, rather than emailing the creator (they might get overwhelmed by too many emails, multiple people may suggest the same thing, etc...)
I really like Porkbun, and they tend to be one of the cheapest registrars. They have US-based phone support too. Phone support is becoming less common with cheaper registrars.
You can use tld-list.com to compare prices.
Pretty much all good registrars support free WHOIS privacy (especially if you're in Europe as redacting personal data in WHOIS is basically mandated by GDPR), and DNSSEC support is also widespread.
I doubt it. People don't like Reddit because it's all controlled by one company. Switching to Discord could just end up being the same mistake. Discord also need to start making money at some point.
You can't have long-form posts on Discord, you can't search for posts via search engines like Google, you can't browse it without an account. It's not a replacement at all.
I use a different email address for each site I sign up to, for this reason. I have a "catch all" email meaning everything @ my domain goes to the same email account. I found out about the LinkedIn data breach before I saw news reports about it because I suddenly started getting a lot of spam to my linkedin@ address :)
I'm seeing this only for communities hosted at lemmy.ml. Every other instance seems to be working fine. I remember reading that lemmy.ml was overloaded - maybe that's part of it?
Don't they have to delete all "my" data though? I guess I'm not sure of the specific wording of the laws, but at my workplace we delete all data that's directly related to the user (data they created, plus any other data collected or logged about them), even if it doesn't contain any personal data. The systems that handle this are super complex so I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of companies don't handle it well.
I haven't used Inferno but it looks similar to React. Is knowledge of React transferrable to Inferno or should I spent a bit of time learning Inferno specifically? I've got ~10 years React experience (started using it the same year it was open-sourced).
