If you also hate the sound and annoyance of fireworks and firecrackers during these or other holidays, you'll totally get why sometimes I wouldn't mind going back to a time when making noise could warn predators of your presence.

My new personal snac2 instance will be ready™ over the weekend, so I can spare you all from my casual, politically incorrect rants, food porn, and shitposting 😉
I will, of course, keep my account @bsd.cafe, but I’ll try to use it (no guarantees) only for *BSD related posts.

PS.: Now let's find a nice domain name, and a cheap VPS.

@ricardo the problem of managing a tech instance that promotes self hosting: people start self-hosting 😆
Jokes apart, as a tech I'm glad you'll start a new instance. As an admin, I'm more glad that you'll keep your account at BSD Cafe active 😉

Your parents probably taught you from a young age not to take gifts from strangers, right?
So, why do you blindly accept now "free" services from companies online?

Today, I received an email from a client with a "60 Day Domain Renewal Notice" from Cloudflare.
I love getting these emails because it means I get to plan yet another domain transfer away from these vultures.

In case you haven't noticed, Cloudflare operates as a domain registrar, offering cheap domain prices, but there's a catch that isn’t even mentioned in the fine print, at least not that I could find last time I checked.

Unlike other registrars, they automatically link your domain to their "free plan services," which forces you to use only their Nameservers as your sole authoritative DNS.

That's right, you can't change your authoritative DNS unless you upgrade to a "USD400/month business plan.

Feel free to check it yourself; it should be a scandal.

There are many reasons not to use Cloudflare, and this is just another one: Keep your clients/friends away.

@ricardo Yeah, I'm just sticking to the Fediverse and WordPress I guess. So sick of all this other nonsense!
