TL;DR Someone targeted me in an attempt to run arbitrary code on my laptop. I suspect in an attempt to gain access to my Github account and/or other REVSYS client related access since I have a metric fuck ton of it.

Too bad the URL was automatically converted to Punycode. Hope this works: https://xn--rtj.tsak.dev (nope)

Alternatively, https://mdash.tsak.dev works as well.

Hopefully the Streisand effect will be in full force on this one.

Second that. Our garage is full of their 50L boxes with the XL lid, perfectly fitting those industrial shelves. Very versatile and long lasting. Even after nearly ten years, they look pretty much the same, and we live in harsh climate near the coast.

That's not very punk, is it?

But aren't those the same startups that think they need to run on AWS EKS instead of using a single cheap server? The cheapest used Hetzner server currently is €39.24 / month:

- Intel Core i7-6700 - 32 GB - 2 x 480 GB Datacenter SSD - 1 GB/s - 20 TB traffic

Their VPS are even cheaper. And you can run a lot on this.

Furthermore, this petition should be written in German as well...

Thank you for your thought experiment. As I was slowly typing a response into the HN response form, I had a feeling that my thoughts on this would be better suited as a blog post:

That was my first thought as well.

The hat!

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fedora#History)

Before I eventually switched to PHP, I ended up writing multiple CMS-like solutions that would run via `cgi-bin` but write contents to the webroot (what we would now call a static site generator). As I was quite limited with the standard shared hosting at the time, I ended up inventing my own single file database format (it was a simple text file) to keep state. It worked quite beautifully and kept me afloat for the first few years of my life as a web developer around the early 2000s.

I was aware of ActivePerl and quite liked Komodo. Thankfully I could keep myself from doing things on Windows/IIS apart from a brief stint writing a single file CMS in ASP.

> Really Read the Error Message and Try to Understand What’s Written

This is a surprising stumbling block for a lot of developers when they encounter a problem. Most times the solution is hiding in plain sight (albeit at least one level of abstraction lower sometimes) and reading what the error was can help to quickly solve an issue.

Anecdotal evidence: We use `asdf` for managing Python, Go and NodeJS versions for our main project. On a fresh Fedora/Ubuntu install, running `asfd install` fails to compile Python as it is missing a few dependencies that are required for Python's standard library. The output that is provided when the `asdf` command fails is pretty self explanatory IF you care to read it.

Do AI customers next!

Is it just me that finds it ironic that you're looking for software developers?

Can you spec a N100 system with 8GB of RAM and at least 32 GB of (slow) SSD and land around the £100 / $120 price point of a Raspberry Pi 500 with 27W power adapter?

Not to mention the GPIO header.

My eBay account of 20 years got cancelled because I followed their customer support's suggestion of opening a new one. And now I can't sell on eBay anymore:

Thank you, much appreciated.

As mentioned in the article: Porkbun. A friend of mine uses Cloudflare as they don't charge on top the registration and ICANN fees that they have to pay (or so they say on https://www.cloudflare.com/en-gb/products/registrar/)

But then what's the plan behind this change anyway? Am I going to scramble to buy 19 more domains? Of course not! I'll move and they'll get $15 less a year (or whatever they charge for a .net these days)
