Did you know? French, Italian, and Spanish are all Romance languages; they are part of a large family of languages that evolved from Latin over hundreds of years. That’s why they’re similar. While I don’t have the necessary citations on hand, learning a language might make it slightly easier to learn, or at least have a basic “I know a few hundred words” understanding of its sibling languages.

(I saw that other people have typed similar things but I already wrote it so I’m just gonna send it anyway.)

That’s an extreme offense, and thus, requires an extreme amount of evidence.

There are plenty of feminine given names that roll off the tongue incredibly well. Names like “Anna” and “Elaine” and “Katherine” do not begin to scratch the surface… But again, I pay more attention to names than the average person because I am obsessed with linguistics, and that obsession is what made me click this thread and type out a reply in the first place.

I’m sure the AI devs so lazy they cannot train their AI on anything other than scraped HTML can set up a Lemmy instance and point their crawlers at that.

My reddit username is tied to multiple embarassing things I did when I was a lot more immature, during my early 10s, and now that I’m in my late 10s, I’d rather not have my embarassing 2018 things affect my 2025 things.

A personal datacenter with 3-digit terabytes of storage, terabytes of RAM, and 3-digit CPUs. Unless I win the lottery (and the safe withdraw rate on these investments are high enough), I won’t be getting any of this.

I’ve been getting by with Ionos, as a Filipino user with a VPS in America. The support was helpful when I had cloud panel issues the first month, but again your mileage may vary.

It’s not perfect, but for me, it’s good enough.

Try out open-source games too, not just the big corporate games. Space Station 14, OpenTTD, Endless Sky, Naev, plenty of choices. Saw someone here rant about how the “videogames industry has become very rotten” and decided I’d point you to a non-rotten part of it.

I don’t have anything hosted just yet, but when I do, I’ll look into a reverse proxy

And I don’t check my email every single day. Scary.

Nitter ended up getting their domain back though.. However, the good ending doesn’t always happen.

Thankfully I don’t have anything “controversial” on my website.

That’s crazy. 90% of views from a single person. How often does this happen usually?

Just basic information about myself and maybe a thing or two I’ve done on the Internet.

Someday if I get the time or the server resources, I’d add subdomains to it to host other stuff, for example “lemmy.example.com”, while “example.com” would just be the basic information, and probably a directory to all the other subdomain stuff.

Actually, you need to go build a time travel machine and recreate the Internet and all its infastructure from scratch if you want to have true ownership of your domain. Or you know, just reinvent the Internet in a premodern society or something, idk.

Were you able to take back your domain using Porkbun, or did you have to use a completely different one?

Yeah, I’m on the .ph top-level domain, one of the more expensive ones. I blame the price on the registrar, not Njalla.

Did Njalla keep the domain forever or did they not renew it such that you could simply go straight to the registrar to take it back?

Additionally, what did you do exactly with the domain that may have motivated Njalla to just… do such a thing?

Not many results for Njalla there, just someone saying they have a few of them through Njalla but offering no thoughts of the service

If 10,000 people work one hour in one day, then that day still had 10,000 hours worked even if a day is only 24 hours. Same with CPUs, many of them run on more than just one core.

Pridyider, the Filipino movie about a haunted fridge. Haven’t been able to find a copy of it in years unfortunately.

Curiosity, concern, and the hope that the person’s still living a good life.

And you are not annoying me, don’t worry.
