  • If your registrar goes rogue there's not much you can do. Custom NSs may buy you 12h.This separation gets you that it either breaks 100% or 0%. You're safe from ongoing enshittification until they kill custom NS.

  • I'm not betting, I'm hoping. AMOC collapse seems more likely in the next 50 years than northern europe figuring out how to install ac.Gotta make the best of it. When native species die maybe we can move them a bit further south and build sanctuaries for cold-water species that were endangered globally.

  • Hating Fr*nce keeps you sharp in these trying times where Br*tain is too busy self-owning.

  • Let's try the energy approach: Say the weight is 20 tons, lifted by 2m (can't check the video, this is a guess. Feel free to correct).20000kg times 2m times 10m/s² (gravity) is 400kJ. We have 4 people walking so 100kJ per person. A worker can probably do 400W for a while, and they did have enough to at least cycle two teams (wikipedia lists a crew of 10 for a slightly smaller trebuchet).

    400J/s means 250s of power output, so a bit over 4 mins. So you are definitely right, 1min is too short, unless I severely overestimated how far the weight moves or its portion of the 22 tons total.

    This is climbing, you definitely will be power limited not speed limited, and they would have geared it so 1600W (~2hp) total will give a comfortable speed and angle.

    The way back is essentially free in power, so they probably get good at absolutely running through that. Running on a flat treadmill is easily 5-10x the speed of maintaining a run up a steep slope.

  • Yes, they do have a contract with you, and do have phenomenal reputation, but they are a second entity with technical ability to take your domain, in addition to the regular registrar they run through.In practice their status and contract with that partner probably makes it less likely your domain will be taken for for example legal reasons, compared to a typical registrar end-user contract.

  • All are that the first year. I had someone in person tell me how they were put on a severely increased price despite being on a domain that should be very cheap. Sadly I don't recall who it was, so I can't ask them for the details.The jist iirc was their domain got popular (due to their website), so xyz decided it belonged to a higher price category.This was definitely not 1.111b specifically, but with a short search there I found reports that xyz has apparently decreased the scope of the 1.111b category before, making the minimum length 6 instead of 3, and then refused renewals for people that had 3-digit domains under the old price.

    So I would expect arbitrary price increases on 1.111b too, it's not something I'd rely on. xyz always has the right to charge whatever they want, so you are one policy decision away from switching everything with no notice or shelling out whatever they think they can charge.

    Compared to say .com, where there is a rigid contract of what verisign can charge, mandating a single price category, a set number of price increases with a set maximum increase, no difference between first year and renewal, ...Or .eu which is free and only has registrar fees, so you could just migrate to a different registrar.

    Edit: 1.111 not 1.1111

  • Real-life couple find each others anonymous accounts on Lemmy.

  • Others let you set custom NSs, so you can fuck off from their bullshit. You are stuck with cloudflares lineup here.

  • Issue is you are locked into the cloudflare system that is gradually enshittifying. Apparently NS changes are blocked, so you are stuck with them. This is not the case for other registrars.

    Also for .com they are below wholesale, so they are banking on that enshittification.

  • xyz get you on renews, it's a scam. Once you are set up with the domain and it's hard to switch, prices explode. This is enforced as tld pricing.

  • It's below wholesale for .com(this is because you're part of the price)

  • xyz isn't that cheap (and shady (in reputation and pricing practices)), you might wanna pick a better tld.I don't see a wholesale price so it's hard to judge with certainty, but xyz might be around 14$/y. Dynadot is selling .com at a loss, so I assume they do the same for xyz. Don't use them, they will make that money off you some other way.

    Wholesale for .com and .org is 11$; I recommend njal.la who charge 15$ and for those 4$ add the by far best privacy available for domain registration.

    For a cheap reliable tld, maybe .eu is a good pick. From the looks, the wholesale price is 0, so legitimage registrar's costs can get very low. .eu only allows non-profit registrars.

  • Removing safety elements, I assume workers in good shape can pull it down in a minute (and unspool in not much time at all). And a day has 1440 minutes.Even if you only shoot at daytime, that'd be 2 weeks at one shot a minute.

    Even if it takes 2 minutes, that's 10k shots a month.

  • I have no idea of medieval prices/difficulty of manufacture of stuff. Is rope really so cheap you lose meters of it per shot of your trebuchet and it doesn't matter for the months these could be shooting, with tens of thousands of shots?

  • Even more so the oxygen cursor, Especially the orange one

    Breeze looking similar is not surprising since it's the next kde theme after oxygen.

  • Dunkle

  • still it isn't the bone that's on the outside

    That's what I mean. Skin that gives color but mostly preserves the look of the bone plates, with gaps remaining visible

  • It's why your breath smells like fish.

  • Dunkle

  • could be like turtle shells

  • With IPv4, assuming you have a residential contract without cgnat, your router has your ip. Loosely your device calls your public ip, realizes it is not on your local network, and sends it to your router. The router will nat it, and send it to its own internet-facing networking side, where the same router will realize that the target ip is the ip of it's own interface and will immediately accept it. Then it is handled like any other packet arriving from the internet, presumably port forwarded to some internal machine.

    So we expect one hop to the router, then one internal hop from the private to the internet-facing interface of the router, and then presumably another internal hop back to the private network interface and another proper hop to the server on your lan.
