Questions or Suggestions for 18 highpowered servers?

Hey guys sorry if this isn't the place for this I just highly respect your opinions. I'm mostly a lurkerI have a network I maintain of 18+ 1gbps, 32GB DDR4, 8 core xeons, with DDoS protection up to 100gbps, spread across the globe (LA, Denver, NY, TX, FL, Atlanta, Amsterdam, London) and many other places.The project I was working on got halted. I was wondering what are some cool things I could...

Awesome! Thanks!
Thanks! This will make things a little easier for me as I move in to sysadminning and JS development.

No sir, only if you want to transfer assets or get USD etc. You can bid still.

From their restrictions page: Due to regulatory reasons in the US (we're not happy about it either), Namebase accounts are restricted in functionality until they have successfully been verified. Once an account has been verified, it'll be able to:

    Trade on Namebase Pro (non-US only)
    Withdraw HNS (non-US only)
    Buy and Sell HNS with BTC (global)
    Buy and Sell HNS with USD (US only)
Before an account has successfully verified, it'll still be able to:

    Transfer HNS into its cloud wallet
    Bid on Handshake names
    Withdraw Handshake names

I went over their site. I'm a big fan of the nextdns project and the handshake project. DNS.live is a hub that lists top sites hosted with the TLDS from Handshake and offers free stuff. Basically the Handshake gTLD directory to make it easy to check out other people's sites as decentralized DNS evolves and see when names become available.

Websites instead of being http://whatever.com are just http://whatever/

It offers free free NS Hosting, free web hosting, free blog hostting, and free URL redirection for Handshake.org TLDs. No account is required (as per their website): https://dns.live/hosting.html

is the free hosting link

To learn more about it they have a start page: https://dns.live/start.html

And here are two excellent turorials on it: https://www.namebase.io/blog/how-to-access-handshake-domains... and from Namebase.io (the ONLY TLD auction) has a good write up on NextDNS and how to get it going: https://www.namebase.io/blog/how-to-access-handshake-domains...

Namebase.io is like the auction system to obtain the domains, dns.live lists them and offer hosting

For me I just enabled Nextdns on all my devices and checked the handshake slider so I can see websites like http://ix

Regular dns works as it should and it blocks trackers etc.

NextDNS is great for all my devices. let's me access Handshake domains easily from https://dns.live

The default blacklist for NextDNS is really good too; stops a lot of Windows phone home stuff too, and can easily see all that.

Don't add a bunch of blacklists though or websites break

the password thing that just creates the account and connects them is how it should be IMO

this is cool i may contribute to the code. super busy though. I love IRC, and we have many challenges to face but this is the right direction

saw your last posts on your acc. keep up the good work. how can we all help tho?>

Re:Show HN: An IRC Bouncer with no account required on Monday April 06, 2020 @02:15AM (#22791267)
you're really committed lol. but whys it better than znc though?

i just use stuff that works

Re:Show HN: DNS Live on Handshake on Sunday March 29, 2020 @06:17PM (#22723280)
for anybody confused like I was (takes 1min to setup)

check out http://www.nextdns.io (like Pi-hole) gives you control over things like ads, blacklists, etc

set your DNS Servers to whatever it says, mine are

45.90.28.42

45.90.30.42

and go to that website https://my.nextdns.io

click settings and enable handshake

then you're good to go and can access TLDs from the chain

check out http://ix

took me 2 minutes to figure it out

I'd love for browsers to support HTTPs on these TLDs.

Firefox already supports NextDNS, there's instructions on how to set up DNS over HTTPS

I'm kinda liking nextdns anyways over 1.1.1.1 (cloudflare)

project has my interest
