Yeah, I urgently need a new one but I keep postponing and forgetting. π
It used to be a cheap fake leather one which looked cool, has a crocodile head on the outside in it, and just plainly looked cool.
Now, 5 years later, all the leather, except for the crocodile head, has proven to be a thin layer that has come off over time and what remains is a completely exposed (again, except for the crocodile head) black rubbery underlayer. π
Oh, well, it cost me β¬5 or something, I guess 5 years was a good service at that price...
Got it a 7 years ago, haven't lost the ejector since... Even amazes myself everytime I need it and it's still there... π Before this mine usually didn't last a week.
People tend to forget that governments are also just another company where you are its employee. It will make business-deals with other companies for (you guessed it) money...
I hadn't considered the possible future discontinuation of the new commercial TLD's actually... Thanks for bringing that up... Might influence my 'taking a .com anyway'-side to take the lead... There's something about .com's that will always feel more legit...
lmao, I see your point, but I was there 25 years ago too, and however much I tried to stop it, time just went on progressing getting me to this moment that I want a new one and no time machine yet to go back. π
By 'too late' I meant 'after having just bought another now'. π
Also, since the Fediverse is starting to boom, domain names for instances did become kind of cool again... π
Yeah, this is a downside of federation right now. Too many linking still goes to the target instance instead of loading it in your home instance. I hear Mastodon is fixing this behavior, Lemmy should definitely follow this, imho. (Making hxxps://instance.tld/@\user equal to @user@\instance.tld)
Not a bad idea, I would do this, but the problem is that I want to use it for email and a Synapse Matrix server, which both are rather attached to their domain names. π Changing to a new domain would mean starting over... π€
That's bit, a letter or character is a byte (8 bits), this is about right for pure text files that have no overhead, any extra info (like font, size, type, anything except which chatacter...) Is extra bytes, of course.
