I mostly use battlestar galactica ship names for my own hardware, but it's been mixed with boring '.mydomain.foo' names as well. I should rename a bunch of stuff around and include them in my DNS.
I can recommend them, been a happy customer since 2009 (give or take).
And yes, you can move .org to EU registrar too, you just need AUTH-ID from current provider, which should be available from their portal quite easily.
But then you'd need access (and most likely licensing) to the original footage AND you'd need to find someone who even knows what 'film' is in the first place, with equipment and skills to use them. Not too difficult if you're in the business I'd assume, but you can just throw it on AI in an afternoon by an intern and call it a day.
And besides now they have option to market that as 'AI remaster' which I suppose sounds fancy to someone wearing a suit. Who cares about consumer experience anyways.
Vähän tässä mietittää, että mitäköhän he nyt ajattelevat, ketkä alun perin epäilivät Stubbin kykyä toimia tasavallan presidenttinä.
Itse kuulun tähän kerhoon. En nyt sinänsä epäillyt etteikö Stubbikin saa hommaa hoidettua, mutta oma ääni meni Haavistolle. Mielikuvat Stubbista on olleet vähän semmoisia besserwisser-henkisiä ja "sori siitä" on jäänyt yhtälailla mielikuvaksi.
Mutta nyt täytyy myöntää täysin ilman irvistelyä että hyvin Stubb on hommansa hoitanut. Suomi on tuolla keskustelupöydissä tullut hyvin esiin ja vaikeassa tilanteessa näkyy selvästi että Stubb on kyllä ihan aidosti ottanut oppia mm. Ahtisaarelta. Jos nyt jotain moitetta pitää hakea, niin persidentti vs pääministeri -valtasuhteet on ehkä vähän vinossa aikaisempaan käytäntöön verrattuna, mutta sekin on enemmän kritiikkiä Orpolle kuin Stubbille.
Sinänsä olisi kyllä mielenkiintoista saada ikkuna vaihtoehtotodellisuuteen että miten Haavisto olisi samassa tilanteessa toiminut, mutta kuten todettua, hyvin Stubb on tonttinsa huolehtinut. Vielä kun muuallakin maailmassa olisi pelkästään presidenttejä jotka ottavat hommansa vakavissaan sen sijaan että solvaavat toisen valtion päämiehiä julkisesti ja muuttavat isoistakin linjauksista mieltään tiheämmin kuin minä sukkia.
I can confirm this. I have several pairs from them around. And I should go and buy a new pair for garage work since I abused previous ones to death.
Not the cheapest around, but well worth the money.
As a general idea: Very much, pretty much everyone around agrees that it's a good thing and 'we' should do it. When the choise would be slightly inconvenient for them personally: Not so much.
And obviously there's the few who actually use signal and fediverse, drop meta/google/twitter and make active choises when shopping for things, but there's not too many of them. Here in Finland we have markings on food which are domestically produced, but as very few pineapples or olives grow around here I don't think too many pays attention on where the products come from. And then there's chain labels like Coop which often label country of origin as 'EU and non-EU countries' anyways.
And I'm not any different, even if I consider to have pretty decent knowledge on things. On groceries things like Coca-Cola are produced locally even if the mothership gets their cut and with corporations like Nestle it's just pretty much a lost cause trying to keep up what brands are "bad" by some metric.
At least on digital world it's a bit easier, but there's still things like whatsapp and instagram which are important enough due to their massive user base that they just can't be ignored for various reasons. And with electronics I try to avoid at least the cheapest Chinese crap, both for quality and security (yeah, I know, not using Huawei phone to use Meta apps is a bit hypocrite). But I also try to stay away from Google services (but I'm not going to root my phone just for that), run Linux almost everywhere (but that's what I've been doing for 20+years anyways, it's not about country of origin), use Amazon only if there isn't alternative (or the alternative is so much more expensive that it just doesn't make sense in personal scale) and so on.
Maybe it does something, maybe it doesn't. I just try to throw my pennies in a hat whenever possible to keep things around locally. I live in a small rural town and if I need a can of paint or a single bolt I need to drive ~50km round trip to get anything. Should someone open a hardware store in here I would be the first customer just to show support. But I'm not made out of money either and have my limitations in life, so if the local business is too slow, too expensive, too rude or whatever else I'm not going to feel too bad when they go down. And that's the general idea I try to apply even more broad scope, whenever there's a "local" viable alternative I try to prefer that, just to keep competition alive and have more european base values around, but I'm not going to make my life unnecessary complicated because of that either.
I'm running email services on their VPS too. They block tcp/25 by default to every VPS, so you need to request opening of the port, but at least for me it wasn't any problem and I can well understand why they do that.
Tätähän pitää vähän selvitellä sitten tarkemmin.
vastuuasiat voi olla sitten omilla niskoilla tms.
Eipä se tunnusvälittäjä ole sinänsä vastuussa vaikka rekisteröidyssä domainissa olisi palvelu joka huijaa mummojen eläkkeet ja lasten karkit. Vastuu rajoittuu siihen, että pitää olla huolellinen domainin omistajan tietojen oikeellisuudesta ja niiden kirjaamisesta asiaankuuluvalla tavalla ja että domainit eivät riko tavaramerkkisääntöjä ja sen semmoista.
Olen vain tosiaan ollut käsityksessä että enää nykyään yksityishenkilöt eivät voisi olla välittäjiä, mutta jos näin on niin rekisteröidyn kyllä itse välittömästi kun Y-tunnuksella tuota hommaa on tullut tehtyä vaan se polku on ainakin toistaiseksi taputeltu.
Eikös se vieläkin tarvitse Y-tunnuksen ja jotain vähän aiheeseen liittyvää liiketoimintaa? Helppoa ja halpaa kyllä jos reunaehdot täyttyy.
Advertisers, stock prices, inverstors and other stuff like that. As in "losing money".
