Re:Show HN: Icanhazaxfr.com – Open AXFR zone transfers on Tuesday August 11, 2020 @08:31AM (#24119608)
icanhazaxfr.com is a service that transfers the zone file of 'icanhazaxfr.com' to anyone.

The goal of the service is to provide a freely available axfr service with a concise enough zonefile that it is practical to use it for unit tests.

Please choose another hill to die on. This is just not worth it. Clearly it's possible to do this on device like mozilla did it.

The correct way would be to just document the changes.

Is there a link somewhere where he published the result?
It's still important to donate to them so they can stay independent.

Say Wikimedia would become dependent on the donations of a company, that company could technically force them to publish misleading information.

In regards to mozilla they are currently not financially independent.

Most of their money comes from google (in exchange google is the default search engine).

IIRC they disabled autoplay for videos with sound. In the settings you can also completely disable autoplay for all videos.
Re:Ask HN: How do you keep your notes organized? on Tuesday December 17, 2019 @01:57AM (#21811317)

To be fair with bitcoin you can at least pay (in some places).

Also the worth of bitcoin is (kinda) backed by the worth of the electricty which is used to mine blocks (and consequently new bitcoins).

Very insightful article. Explains a lot that is happening currently.

This is just a research paper on onion routing.

To get started with onion routing that's currently in use I'd check out the Tor FAQ [0].
