yeah turns out Dynadot enforces a 7 day wait on deleting the domain and it's only been 6 days. should be free for registration on June 18 (i assume in 3 hrs if they mean UTC)
It's strange to hear the author isn't a fan of cryptocurrency. There are a lot of dubious use-cases for crypto, but facilitating donations for sketchy services is an obvious one.

One of the more popular paper wallet generators is https://www.bitaddress.org/. But because i'm paranoid of situations like this, I've downloaded a release from their github and copied it to an airgapped laptop, and generated keys that way- https://github.com/pointbiz/bitaddress.org/releases

Re:The ominous opacity of the AWS bill – a cautionary tale on Tuesday December 03, 2019 @09:17PM (#21699058)
AWS is great about dogfooding, most all their services run on top of native AWS (ec2, lambda, dynamo)... but they don't do that for billing. It's all just fake money being thrown around internally.

Re:Bitcoin Energy Consumption Index on Wednesday October 16, 2019 @07:44PM (#21277372)
That would be difficult to pull off. bitcoin code merges are highly scrutinized, and disagreements in blockchain projects just result in forks and new networks.

A better way would be a global ban coordinated among every nation, and even then that would be difficult to pull off.

That's basically it. You have normal vacation time, then "personal time", which is what is used as sick leave. It doesn't roll over and you're encouraged to use that by the end of the year.

Re:The ideal DevOps team structure on Thursday June 13, 2019 @11:22AM (#20175723)
At AWS there is rarely a distinction between dev and ops. Developers manage their service and join the oncall rotation for their own team. We also write all our own tests and manage deployments ourselves (albeit with the help of other AWS teams who maintain test frameworks and deployment tools.)

This seems a lot cleaner than the alternative. Sure the devs have greater responsibility, but there's no dev/ops disconnect here.

Re:Ask HN: What VPN service are you currently using? on Sunday February 24, 2019 @11:50PM (#19243042)
TorGuard is great, I get excellent speed and very low ping from east coast.

the only thing I like is how they aren't actually associated with Tor in any way... lol...
