Registrar recommendation?

1mon 17d ago in selfhosted

I used Njalla. It worked fine for me and was really simple to manage. In the end I decided to switch since their strength is also their weakness. You don't own the domain, they own it. They register it to their name and you can manage it but when they go bankrupt (doesn't look like it) or decide you are violating their terms (and maybe you aren't but they still decide that you are) they can cancel your service and you are not able to get your domain back, since it was never in your name.

There are stories from people who lost their domain. But I only heard about this from others and I always find it questionable about why these people are coming out with these kind of stories, were they really not violating the terms or were they and are just upset that they got caught...

Njalla works this way to make sure nobody knows who you are and who registered the domain, because even if law enforcement would ask for the owner at the tld registrar they would get Njalla as the owner. And you don't need to let Njalla know who you are, so that's where it ends. But in the end I got nervous that someday they would cancel my domains or that they decided to stop the service and I would lose access to my domains and email. Is that a legit fear? Probably not. I have had domains with them for 5 years and never had a problem. You can transfer your domain since you can request the transfer key via the admin page and you will recieve one instantly. So you don't really notice not owning the domain until something happens. Would I recommend them? Sure, if you want extra privacy and are fine with no ability to prove ownership of a domain might something happen.

I now have my domains at https://flokinet.is/.A company based in Iceland. The site is from the '10s and the billing section is slow but they where mentioned as a privacy friendly option as well and apart from the transfer (I did things wrong with DNSSEC and they where a bit slowish with response, but mostly due to my impatience) I haven't had a problem with them.

That's what Trump wants, right? To isolate the US from other countries and let them work stuff out themselves? Looks like his strategy is working. But of course cry baby wants to be included and mingle in other countries' business.

Steam lawsuits in a nutshell

Fully agree with your point, but to be fair Steam sucked balls in the OG Counter Strike days. It was dretchingly slow, buggy and nobody wanted to use it. So other stores sucking balls in the beginning by being buggy is not that strange. Although all the anti-consumer stuff is not bad programming, just bad morals.

Has been done. Or maybe this image is AI, that could also be true.

While the headline is meant to be sensational, I think this is a good reason for Mexico to invade the US. The ammoterrorists need to be stopped from taking over the Mexican streets!

/s, kinda...

Hong Kong phone scams triple since real-name SIM card registration required

7mon 2d ago in privacy@lemmy.ml from hongkongfp.com

https://www.computer.org/csdl/proceedings-article/hicss/2012/06149194/12OmNyKJiDq doesn't support my claim since on the aggregate level it's reduced and on individual level it remains the same. But to not be too biased (by my own claim), thought it was worthwhile to post it. They do say here that it only reduced malicious comments by 0.9% (so it didn't increase).
Here it says it doesn't help. This article says discrimination increases, but I can't find the original source. They say real names are better then full anonimity, but worse then pseudonimity.

But searching for the right study, I can't seem to find it. Only news articles claiming it, but that's not much of a study. So maybe I shouldn't have said it increases, but it doesn't decrease (depending on which study and which aggregate level you look at). A lot of articles point at facebook where people need to use their real name but still post a lot of unfriendly stuff.

There have been a few studies that say scams, discrimination, racism and bullying will increase when people are forced to use their real name. In this case it's probably because off a different reason, but still.
