SquareSpace dropping the ball.
  • Yeah that's exactly what i do. I have an A record that points to my house and i update it every 4 hours from a script on my router. Been really happy with cloudflare, they have a weird restriction about using your own nameservers, but as long as you are happy with theirs then they seem to be great.

  • Do lifetime warranties make something BIFL?
  • Lots of that stock is made specifically for Rack - there's definitely some returns and end of line product that ends up there, but many of the branded goods at "outlet" stores is specifically designed for that market.

  • Revealed: top carbon offset projects may not cut planet-heating emissions
  • Also the argument we should be having in the US is whether we reach our climate goals through this kind of carbon-pricing model or the top-down regulatory model. In a sane world we'd probably expect republicans to be arguing for a carbon trading scheme and the democrats to be arguing for regulation.

  • Starlink quietly lost over $250,000,000 in burned satellites this summer.
  • Here's a reputable site that says SpaceX is no longer operating (or has otherwise lost) 378 of the 5000 satellites they've launched

    However that's an all time number, not just the last few months. The biggest single hit I'm aware of was a batch in 2022 that hit a solar storm that engineers thought they could weather.

  • Group sues to block Trump from 2024 ballot in Colorado citing 14th Amendment and Jan. 6
  • Yeah I understand those terms, but I'm not sure that's exactly what the constitution says. It says "provides comfort to enemies" and that's not exactly the same as aiding. I think ultimately that the states would have to enforce it though because there's no real mechanism for enforcement spelled out in the constitution

  • Amount of RJ45 Ports on Home Server?
  • I've seen it done in data center environments where there are two connections to two different switches - so you can do maintenance on either switch without downtime.

    Same reason for having dual power feeds to each machine.

  • Group sues to block Trump from 2024 ballot in Colorado citing 14th Amendment and Jan. 6
  • But i'm not sure all of the things in the 14th amendment are necessarily criminal. I can't see how it's be a crime to give comfort to someone like Enrique Tarrio, but doing so disqualifies anyone who's previously taken an oath to uphold the constitution. How would that be enforced?

    I look forward to seeing clarence thomas tie himself up in knots over that.

  • Vivek Ramaswamy Wants to Raise Voting Age to 25 (or have a "competency test" for people 18-25)
  • It certainly opens a can of worms though, I can see the democrats pushing for 16 (Scotland's done the same and it's further pushed the conservatives out of power there).

    It'll also be far easier to fight the GOP proposal in court as there will be people who are actively disenfranchised by raising the age, but it's not clear that existing voters could have standing to sue if we enfranchise younger people.

  • Looks like google domains is no more.
  • Yeah I've wrestled with that too - I justify it to myself that they are so much smaller than Amazon or Microsoft but they are certainly not a small operation.

    I also appreciate their participation in WinterCG and the dream of having interoperable runtime environments for serverless platforms. While I don't think it's quite there yet, I think it's a force for good to have a medium-sized player trying to push the interoperability that Amazon obviously isn't big on.

  • Looks like google domains is no more.
  • I have a .ms domain registered with nic.ms but I point the domain name servers at cloudflare and i can manage it in CF with all their features. I do have to pay for it elsewhere but that's a minor inconvenience.

  • Looks like google domains is no more.
  • Cloudflare will do DNS for domain suffixes that they don't support. I've never used Porkbun but as long as you can set custom nameservers then you can point it at CF and use all the tools they support.

  • Norwegian climber says it would have been impossible to carry injured Pakistani porter down snowy K2
  • Yes, that's obviously taking the lifetime K2 deaths and dividing by the summit attempts - though actually I get 19% in that situation. However we really dont have enough data to form a good confidence interval there - it's possible we've had a lucky few years or maybe we've got better at deciding when to make the summit attempts.

    But it doesn't really change my point. There's some threshold where it seems fundamentally immoral to hire someone for a job that has a good chance of killing them. Mountain porter on k2 or everest is a higher risk job than "astronaut" without the same glory that comes with the space faring job title. Even if the chance of death is 1 in 200, I still think its immoral to take advantage of someone who's so desperate for work that they'll overlook it.

  • Norwegian climber says it would have been impossible to carry injured Pakistani porter down snowy K2
  • Looking at it more, there seems to be an entire field of Risk Ethics associated with this.

    Still the most dangerous job in the US is a Commercial Fisherman with a risk of death of 132 per 100,000. That's a very long way from the risk of dying on Everest or K2.
