Stop looking so hard for victims to blame, Squid.

These people are probably sheltering in place but, again, they have time to kill until the storm falls. Means to leave involves more than just transportation.

Until the storm actually begins to strike the area; theres not much point just hiding inside. Can't leave, time to kill, I'm sure many public places are closed. May as well wander the beach while the beach is still there.

Many people have no where to go, or no means to leave.

I'm not in that region, but if a similar event happened here; there's only one place I could go besides just being homeless on the road, and that place would likely be impacted too.

Because 2 letter tlds are reserved to be issued to countries. Ideally the country's 2 letter country code.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Country_code_top-level_domain

All ASCII ccTLD identifiers are two letters long, and all two-letter top-level domains are ccTLDs.

at least for the technology-related domains.

It's not a technology related domain though; it's a country's domain that happens to be used for a lot of tech.

With the country dissolving, the domain does too, so it can become available for future countries.

So the .su domain was handed to Russia to operate alongside its own (.ru). The Russian government agreed that it would eventually be shut down, but no clear rules around its governance or when that should happen were defined.

But ambiguity is the worst thing for a top-level domain. Unknowingly, this decision created an environment in which .su became a digital wild west. Today, it is a barely policed top-level domain, a plausibly deniable home for Russian dark ops and a place where supremacist content and cyber-crime have found cover.

I seems IANA would like to not repeat past mistakes.

More than any other piece of self-hosted software: backups are important if you're going to host a password manager.

I have Borg automatically backing up most of the data on my server, but around once every 3 months or so, I take a backup of Vaultwardens data and put it on an external drive.

As long as you can keep up with that, or a similar process; there's little concern to me about screwing things up. I'm constantly making tweaks and changes to my server setup, but, should I royally fuck up and say, corrupt all my data somehow: I've got a separate backup of the absolutely critical stuff and can easily rebuild.

But, even with the server destroyed and all backups lost, as long as you still have a device that's previously logged into your password manager; you can unlock it and export the passwords to manually recover.

There's a simple solution to make everyone happy:

For power delivery, ie requesting power outside the typical 5v 3a max; yes.

The charger shorting them together usually indicates to the device, it's fixed at 5v 3a.

I think the device shorting them will indicate to the charger/port that you're only requesting power @ 5v 3a max; but I haven't dived into the spec.

I'd give that a try and dig further if it doesn't work.

I've heard of ytdlp many times, but I rip so little from youtube I just haven't had the need to look into it.

YouTube tends to be one of my last resorts for media sources.

Do you get the same issue if you short the data lines? That's usually the indication (to devices) that the port is for charging only; not sure how thats received in the reverse direction.
