I was also with a provider that didn’t offer API access for the longest time. When they then increased prices, I switched, now paying a third of their asking price per year at a very good provider.
I guess migrating is difficult if the provider doesn’t offer a mechanism to either dump the DNS to a file or perform a zone transfer (the later being part of the standard).
Can only recommend INWX for domains, though my personal requirements aren’t the highest.
Not true, I also enjoy stuff not created by workers, like mountains, forests or the sea.
On the other hand, I hate a lot of stuff capitalism created.
A lot of paid cert providers were not so great before LE put the spotlight on the issue; it was more of a scheme to extract money from operators who couldn’t afford to not offer TLS / SSL. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=647959 was a famous post that made fun of / criticized the system before LE. This hurt security, and if not free, LE wouldn’t have worked.
Also wildcard certificates are more difficult to do automated with let’s encrypt.
They are trivial with a non-garbage domain provider.
If you want EV certificates (where the cert company actually calls you up and verifies you’re the company you claim to be) you also need to go the paid route
The process however isn’t as secure as one might think: https://cyberscoop.com/easy-fake-extended-validation-certificates-research-shows/
In my experience trustworthyness of certs is not an issue with LE. I sometimes check websites certs and of I see they’re LE I’m more like “Good for them”
Basically, am LE cert says “we were able to verify that the operator of this service you’re attempting to use controls (parts of) the domain it claims to be part of”. Nothing more or less. Which in most cases is enough so that you can secure the connection. It’s possibly even a stronger guarantee than some sketchy cert providers provided in the past which was like “we were able to verify that someone sent us money”.
Open source firmware doesn’t mean anything as long as tivoization is happening.
Which I don’t know whether it’s the case, but legislature might make this a requirement.
“Bacon causes cancer, smoking causes cancer… but smoking bacon cures it” is the version I know
Rules: don’t look at the chicken.
Game Over
(I stole this from a shirt that did this better due to the layout)
Which means you can sell support in addition to the service itself. Mission accomplished!

Here, smoking with 16 was legal until I turned 20 or so. My smoking friends started before that age, so 14 or 15. This was in Germany until the mid-2000s.
It wasn’t very common among my peers, but did happen.
You can measure anything in nanograms, but a typical LSD dose starts at about 100ug with the threshold at about 25ug or so. Still not much, but not what you’d usually measure in nanograms.
It’s still rough around the edges, but at least it seems to understand what LaTeX did well, and what people didn’t like about it.
It’s the most reachable thing. Markdown feels like a toy for many (not me)
Oh yeah. Markdown. While it does have a place, the limitations on top of my head as to why I wouldn’t use it in bigger projects:
It’s fine for when you know what output you produce, like for Lemmy or in a wiki or whatever. But once you want more control, you lack options or need to rely on non-“standard” (is there was one) solutions to somehow achieve it.
I think, as an easy, yet powerful solution, AsciiDoc is better-suited.
Nothing is better than LaTeX/XeTeX + BiBTeX to my knowledge.
LuaLaTeX + Biber
Talking about tables, if you’re not using tabularray in 2024, you’re doing yourself a disservice IMHO. I almost use it exclusively except for text formatting as only tabularx supports page footnotes easily.
It has turned LaTeX tables from absolutely annoying to something that actually makes sense and looks nice and comes with most tools you want from tables. Except booktabs which it supports with an option. For example, it supports cells with line breaks, variable width columns, multiline and multi row cells - and even manages to align the text in them correctly. I don’t know how
Jianrui Lyu did this, but he did.
So yeah. Tables in LaTeX don’t have to be pain.
In general, I don’t think the concept of a configuration database is bad - at least not inherently moreso than every application putting its own configuration file(s) in whichever format it wants somewhere on the filesystem.
Whether the window registry is a good implementation of this concept is surely debatable.
Dude, relax
At least the economy has a chance to recover before you retire. None of my cadre have that kind of time left.
Don’t worry, it won’t; the issue is not with what people associate with economy, that one is booming, just look at how the market is developing. But the wealth pools at the top and there’s no political will to change that.
They’re afraid of the drag dealers’ wrath
