Ask HN: Any options to keep .AF domain names?

Posted by wanghq on Sunday April 23, 2023 @11:58AM
from the ask-hn dept.

Got below email from my domain provider. Any possible options to keep my .AF domain, e.g. transferring to other registrars? Dear customer, Due to the ongoing economic sanctions in Afghanistan, AFGNIC, the .AF Registry, has informed us that they are currently unable to accept payments from non-Afghani registrars. As a result, we cannot guarantee the renewal of your .AF,...

Re:Show HN: Query SQLite files stored in S3 on Wednesday September 14, 2022 @12:23AM (#32833299)
If I need to query the db repeatedly (N times per second), isn't it more efficient (low latency and aws cost) to just download the db and run queries locally?

I got a Boox note air 2. It's an e-ink device/android tablet/e-reader/note-taking.

You can install any app on this device. I find it's acceptable to code with web-ides like replit.com. But my main usage is reading and note taking.

Re:I have 218 browser tabs open on Tuesday August 02, 2022 @01:12AM (#32315349) 

  1. I usually open about 30 to 50 tabs, and then my laptop becomes slow or it's difficult to navigate them.
  2. I decide to close some but find it difficult to choose which ones to close - they all seem important to me.
  3. I use onetab to close them all so if I need any of them I can get them back.
Funny enough, I rarely go to onetab to reopen them. Seems if I need them again, I find them in different ways, e.g. google search, browser history, ...
Re:How to build an open-source business (2021) on Saturday July 30, 2022 @01:43AM (#32284550) 

  1. Join a company (usually big) that has a culture of open sourcing softwares.
  2. Start an open source project you are keen on, and make use of the resource to grow the project/community/contributors.
  3. Quit with other core maintainers and start your own company that commercializes the open source project.

Re:PolarDB, yet another open source database system based on PostgreSQL on Sunday May 30, 2021 @12:33PM (#27334408)
Sorry I didn't make myself clear. I was surprised because two databases from Alibaba are open sourced or to be open sourced.
Re:PolarDB, yet another open source database system based on PostgreSQL on Sunday May 30, 2021 @02:44AM (#27331124)
Oh, what's going on here?

> OceanBase, the database of Alibaba's fintech company Ant Group, will be open-source soon, possibly as early as June 1, according to Sina Tech.

Great work! I headed to the context chapter and learned something I was not certain. But regarding the linked list (https://www.practical-go-lessons.com/chap-37-context#linked-...), since a context can be parent of multiple contexts, I feel it's more like a tree structure.

Have you tried MonitorControl? It solved my problem. I guess Lunar should also work.
Re:Lunar – macOS utility to set brightness and volume on external moni... on Tuesday September 01, 2020 @01:55PM (#24344656)
Got a MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019) weeks ago and bought a LG monitor (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07YGZ7C1K). The brightness setting bothered me for 2 weeks as neither the Mac OSX nor LG's onscreen control software can set the brightness for the external monitor. The external monitor brightness changes every time I open/close the macbook lid. Thanks to both ddcctl and MonitorControl, I can finally set a fixed brightness. Wondering why big corps fail to provide the basic features while some open source software can do?

Re:Ask HN: How do I make sure my kids are safe online? on Monday May 27, 2019 @08:15PM (#20026200)
Can you elaborate on why YT for kids app is bad? Long time ago, I tried to develop a similar app (kidsfriend.ly) which provides safe videos from YT but failed to do so because it's impossible to control that Ads YT added during the watching.
