at least for the technology-related domains.

It's not a technology related domain though; it's a country's domain that happens to be used for a lot of tech.

With the country dissolving, the domain does too, so it can become available for future countries.

So the .su domain was handed to Russia to operate alongside its own (.ru). The Russian government agreed that it would eventually be shut down, but no clear rules around its governance or when that should happen were defined.

But ambiguity is the worst thing for a top-level domain. Unknowingly, this decision created an environment in which .su became a digital wild west. Today, it is a barely policed top-level domain, a plausibly deniable home for Russian dark ops and a place where supremacist content and cyber-crime have found cover.

I seems IANA would like to not repeat past mistakes.

More than any other piece of self-hosted software: backups are important if you're going to host a password manager.

I have Borg automatically backing up most of the data on my server, but around once every 3 months or so, I take a backup of Vaultwardens data and put it on an external drive.

As long as you can keep up with that, or a similar process; there's little concern to me about screwing things up. I'm constantly making tweaks and changes to my server setup, but, should I royally fuck up and say, corrupt all my data somehow: I've got a separate backup of the absolutely critical stuff and can easily rebuild.

But, even with the server destroyed and all backups lost, as long as you still have a device that's previously logged into your password manager; you can unlock it and export the passwords to manually recover.

For power delivery, ie requesting power outside the typical 5v 3a max; yes.

The charger shorting them together usually indicates to the device, it's fixed at 5v 3a.

I think the device shorting them will indicate to the charger/port that you're only requesting power @ 5v 3a max; but I haven't dived into the spec.

I'd give that a try and dig further if it doesn't work.

I've heard of ytdlp many times, but I rip so little from youtube I just haven't had the need to look into it.

YouTube tends to be one of my last resorts for media sources.

Do you get the same issue if you short the data lines? That's usually the indication (to devices) that the port is for charging only; not sure how thats received in the reverse direction.

I tend to rip music videos from youtube with yt1s.com

It's manual and tedious, but works. I'd like a solution like the arrs, but I also don't keep many music videos so 🤷

If I remember right, it was just over 2 weeks; but it's been a couple years since I ordered.

I've ordered my last 2 sets from there, and had at least 3 family members ordering from there too. We've never had any issues aside from one poorly fitting set, which they returned and got fresh ones free of charge. I really couldn't be happier with goggles4u.

I've really got to get around to seeing the optometrist and getting a fresh prescription... Time flies.

Code at checkout: BOGO

Last time I bought glasses there, it cost me ~60$ for 2 pairs. Both with scratch resistant coatings, and one with a photochromic coating (auto tint in sunlight).

The glasses are just a camera. Pretty much any camera can be used for this; Metas glasses are just a bit more discreet than pointing your phone at someone. Cameras are pretty ubiquitous and come in many many form factors, including super small easily hidden forms like clothes pins/buttons.

The real news here:

reverse face search engines like PimEyes and Facecheck ID, as well as people search engines like FastPeopleSearch, CheckThem, and Instant Checkmate.

Can be used to dox people in seconds.

So... Add high-contrast uniquely identifiable markings to yourself?

Seems counterproductive.

@bobslaede@feddit.dk I could kiss you. You've been invaluable my friend, thank you!

Just gave this a test: CNAME ombi.domain -> local.domain with cloudflares proxy re-enabled.

Now the HTTPS, A, and AAAA requests all receive the CNAME response and browsers are happy. I didn't even have to modify ngnix to recognize local.domain like I thought I might.
