Thanks. Do you only connect Dex + XReal + Keyboard with no mouse? I'm worried no mouse will be uncomfortable.

New comment by highclass in "Cloudflare is free of CAPTCHAs; Turnstile is free for everyone"

According to https://developers.cloudflare.com/turnstile/

A pay-as-you-go option for advanced features will be available in early 2024 for self-serve customers.

Users can continue to access these advanced features below our 1 million siteverify request limit.

So it seems it will be not so good for free users.

May I ask how much you were paying Stackpath per year, as Akamai "welcomed" you aboard and I don't think they are doing that for all customers?

New comment by highclass in "GoDaddy suspended our site on Friday evening and doesn't respond back"

highclass — Mon, 31 Jul 2023 13:42:04 +0000

Namecheap is horrible regarding legal threats and how they manage them. In my experience, they threaten to shutdown domains with 24 hours notice if you do not respond to legal threats. Although I avoided being shutdown, I almost didn't respond to such an email thinking the email from Namcecheap was spam. I highly recommend avoiding Namecheap for business.

Currently I migrated to Gandi with no problem.

If you search on hacker news there are some people including me who have bad experiences with namecheap, as they threaten to cut off domain itself easily when they get complaints. I am not talking about hosting, but the domain itself. For any large enterprise client, I recommend against using them. Right now, I am on Gandi and only use them for domain, even reading this I'd still pick them over namecheap.

Does anyone know of a good maximum price cutoff to use for SMS that would allow most non-fraudulent messages while blocking expensive fraudulent ones?

IMHO Google Chat is utter trash.

I don't think normal people will be using a PWA for chat on desktop computers and like it. The lack of an option for a normal clean native client on desktops is astounding to me. reference) https://support.google.com/chat/answer/9455386?hl=en

Finger check will usually only detect a huge prostate or rectal cancer(not other portions of the colon), or a rectal cancer just next to the anal canal.

Colonoscopy(can detect polyps BEFORE they become cancer, but more costly and hard for patient) is the gold standard for detecting colon cancer, along with fecal occult blood which is cheap and easier to do but will detect only more advanced cancers. For prostate, the early detection and screening is usually using done using a PSA blood test.

I agree with that. I was just emphasizing the livelihood of multiple people and a whole business depended on answering a email from namecheap within 24 hours due to an complaint they received.

My experience with namecheap is similar very bad too. They also sent me an email saying if you don't respond in a short time(24 hours) your domain will be revoked. Related experience: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14139288 I moved my domains from namecheap to gandi.net and so far no problems. I would avoid namecheap like the plague for any large site. Of note, I had millions of unique vistors per month on that domain for a normal legal site.

ycombinator uses gandi.net too.

and even if they obey us and internation laws, threating to revoke a domain within 24 hours if no reply regarding an external complaint, with just an email warning is ridiculous and not how other reputable domain registrars work.
