It got renamed? That seems pretty crazy, but it might be for the better considering the original name didn’t really suggest it was a serious independent project.

Do you use the Infinitime firmware? I remember weather display being fairly limited back when I tried.

I see a big problem with the opt-out being abusive parents could pocket the money without feeding the child.

Money isn’t the only barrier to food security.

.localhost is already reserved for the loopback, per RFC 2606, but I agree with you in general. A small network shouldn’t have to have a $10-15/year fee to be compliant if they don’t want to use a domain outside their network.

As other posters have mentioned, .lan .home .corp and such are so widely used that ICANN can’t even sell them without causing a technical nightmare.

Yes, you’re right, RFC 6762 proposes reserving .local for mDNS. I was not aware of this until you brought it up, hence the dangers of using using TLDs not specifically designated for internal use.

I believe he was wearing pants like someone who has to perform a depantsing skit in a play.

Very few as this ruling would reserve .internal for local DNS only and forbid it at the global level. This is ICANN’s solution to people picking random .lan .local .internal for internal uses. You’ll be able to safely use .internal and it will never resolve to an address outside your network.

I expected this to be a satirical article for pumped hydro.

Considering how thick that ice is and how fast it’s moving, this is actually pretty terrifying.

It’s really cool to see in real time an example of how a glacier can erode the terrain though.
