That "Nike" rhymes with "Bike".

Also survivorship bias. A few old cars lasted for a really long time, but you don't see or think about the majority that didn't.

Holy noly that's sone imtermet history right there!

Soooo, they skipped being Extender and went straight to the Extinguisher phase?

Basically what you buy in the auction is not the domain, but the permission to go run it at a registrar of your choice.

Congratulations, you did the thing this meme is about!

I've used gandi for about 10 years as well, but they lost me to porkbun with their recent not-so-well communicated price increases (including dropping the small free email mailboxes)

Another vote for Porkbun here, in my case using Cloudflare for my nameservers.

One more vote for Caddy, everything just works, simple things are simple but you have a lot of flexibility for more complex situations.

You could, but it probably wouldn't help much. The overhead for each additional Postgres server is minimal, the RAM usage comes from each database. It doesn't really matter if those are on the same postgres instance or on separate ones, in my experience.

I like puzzlemoji, instead of guessing something yourself, you get a movie title and have to provide three Emoji as a hint for ChatGPT to guess the movie.

Hetzner is awesome, I've been using both their VMs and a Storage Box for my backups for years, never had any issues, reasonably priced as well!

The official website says it will be on gamepass from day one.

Honestly this was one of the main reasons for me, I like using my domain as my key identity in a sense. Same for Gotosocial and Matrix.

It works so well! I have my LMS server scrobble to maloja directly, multi-scrobbler for Spotify and even imported a Spotify data dump so I have my whole history in there.

So true, every few months I get the urge to ditch Synapse, but then I think about how much of a hassle it would be to migrate and happily pay a few bucks more for the extra RAM on the VPS. Don't be me, use Dendrite right from the start.

I was a bit weirded out by this as well, but honestly - it's pretty straightforward and has been working just fine for me. shrug

This is actually a thing, it's called the Mpemba effect. It's hella weird (that's the scientific term), but can be reproduced in experiments.

Yeaah mine's really hard to make any sense of. It was an automatically generated username some time back, and then I kept using it all over the place because it was kinda short and still kinda unique. I'd love some suggestions on how to pronounce it though, no clue in that regard!
