Considering that he doesn't have functioning arms... Probably.

Blind brand loyalty to something you don't enjoy is a waste of your precious time on earth

You're thinking of BD-R: BD-RE can be rewritten/erased hundreds of times

I totally agree, though I wrote this in the context of OPs post specifically saying (emphasis mine):

I have seen in many US shows where they portray guys who are living with parents as losers, or there are jokes or memes about it, I never get it.

Yep, the other workaround that's elsewhere in this thread is to set up an entry with a different authoritative DNS in the hosts file, allowing a single machine to resolve the old domain manually.

This could be part of a greater effort, basically asking other instances to help the users evacuate the instance and transfer their accounts, before running tootctl self-destruct

OP, this title is stupidly misleading and incorrect, you should change it immediately.

The Taliban seized the DOMAIN, aka the ownership of the queer.af name that people could type into their browsers, and their system would resolve into an IP address.

As the Taliban control Afghanistan, (see where the domain comes from), this was inevitable and the instance owners were already planning to retire the instance as they didn't want to give money to the Taliban to keep it up.

The INSTANCE, aka the physical server, was not in Afghanistan, and still has its IP address(es), and so has had absolutely nothing happen to it.

It can also be used to make methamphetamine.

Damn, Steamboat Willie going into public domain really has Disney tightening the purse strings /s

It's a pure math equation. You know you'll have more money at the end of the day if you keep as much as you can in a HYSA.

So do the math on exactly how much more.

Is that amount worth your peace of mind over that long a time period? Is your partner someone you want to spend that much money on right now?

These are simple questions to ask: maybe harder to answer. But once you have them, just make a choice and be happy with it.

Right?? To let your website be susceptible to that kind of act by anyone means that you probably didn't really care about security in the first place, so much as just getting the magic lock icon happy.
