Yeah you’re not gonna have a good time if you talk about politics here, as very few people share your beliefs. But there are plenty of non-political communities you can be a part of.

Can’t Russians just use a Russia-based speed test service? The results shouldn’t be too different from a US one, other than lower latency. Or just use one of the many other US-based services.

Can they do that? I thought all two letter TLDs were reserved for ccTLDs only. It’ll be interesting to see how things play out.

Also make sure you have file extensions enabled in Explorer, it makes it waaay harder for something like this to work.

80,000 tons of CO2 is better than 80,000 tons in the ocean, I guess.

If anyone wants to actually run this, here ya go:

          #include              <stdio.h>
      short i=0;long          b[]={1712,6400

              007)+((n>>(b[i>>001]>>
                7*(0b1&01-i++)))&1
                  *main(111))));
                    return 69-

Bonus points if you can deobfuscate it!

Yeah I switched to PAYG to lessen the chance of that happening. So far I’ve managed to not accidentally spend $5000 in some dumb way, so it’s basically equivalent to the free tier.

Yep, it’s all backed up locally. I figure eventually they’ll shut it down as they’re losing a fair bit of money.

You can sign up here, and it comes with 200GB of storage and 10TB of monthly bandwidth. And apparently a $300 credit, that wasn’t around when I signed up.

Edit: Nevermind, must’ve not noticed it.

Yep, it’s Oracle. It’s a really great deal; I’ve been using their services for a couple years now and haven’t had any problems.

Some intern is having a bad day right now.

The cargo holds on commercial flights are pressurized and heated. I can’t imagine passengers would take kindly to their luggage being subjected to 0.3x atmospheric pressure at -55°C.

I’m pretty sure the energy gained from the ice falling into the Earth’s gravity well would exceed its cooling capacity by an order of magnitude or two.

Yeah, I just left my SSH port as 22 since I only use key-based authentication so there’s really no security risk. Plus, it’s funny going through the logs and looking at all the login attempts.

Better to get in trouble for false advertising than actually dangerously high capsaicin content, I suppose.

If you’re looking for a new registrar, I’ve had only good experiences with NameSilo. They’re not the cheapest, but they’re generally cheaper than GoDaddy, don’t paywall arbitrary things like APIs or WHOIS privacy, and have good support.

Nobody’s stupid enough to connect their AI to their database. At least, I hope that’s the case…

That’s true. Though there are reviews saying their support is terrible, which I assume applies to B2 as well.

I would not use them, they have bad ratings on Trustpilot.

Why did they put that button in such an annoying spot to press? If you’re going to add a pointless button at least put it on the thumb side, like almost every other mouse in existence.
