Does their final price already include WHOIS protection?

Hey!

For storage/note taking I use Filen.io (German), pretty cool and affordable. Have no complaints, and they have a Linux native app also.

I found OVH quite confusing. Do they upsell you like crazy (e.g. is WHOIS protection an upsell)? I don't want to create an account on purpose just to find out.

Its also what you use if you want to have your domain stolen, apparently.

This is unironically great copywriting. Either that or chatGPT.

I wonder what OP does for a living.

I have a different view.

Have all governments move straight to FOSS federated platforms, so that the billionaire that caused this exodus (Musk) is eaten alive by other billionaires so that they learn that when they fk up, the entire billionaire class loses revenue. So they can experience some class infighting for once instead of laughing all the way to their pedo orgy islands.

If one billionaire's F*ck up leads to another billionaire's increase in fortune (Bluesky), then all you're rewarding is them to keep doing what they do with their manufactured "competition" BS.

There's no such thing as "target" and "non-target" billionaire, either. They all are targets so don't let yourself get distracted.

Seriously. I'd be ashamed of being a Trump supporter and show my face in public. So embarrassing.

And even more so now that it's pretty clear that he's barely sentient and Musk is the actual poorly hidden shadow president.

bluesky

Why? So the same thing can happen as with X? Jack Dorsey is yet another unhinged billionaire with problematic views of his own.

Federation is the only answer.

I understand your fears, I really do.

Its just... I don't think we're totally lost yet, thank God. I'm hoping people keep being somewhat aware that fascism is not the way, even if it's being increasingly promoted on the internet.

Let us do our part as well. Keep boycotting the US, keep protesting against Israel and Russia in public. There is little else we can do, but these things are powerful on their own as long as we don't lose momentum.

I've had few problems in the 7 years I have used them[...] one of which is not possible to get back since I'm required to provide proof that I live in Sweden [...] Wasn't the case when I initially bought it in 2018.

Sounds like a severe case of Stockholm syndrome to me. /s

Anyways, you do you buddy. I don't trust them at all after those reviews. Especially when IONOS exists.

PS: kinda funny that a supposedly privacy-focused registrar demands an official document of your place of residence. Sounds like the promised privacy is just a gimmick (or, something that all registrars offer by default as long as you choose the WhoIS guard option).

I have never received a DM from another user on lemmy despite being more active than OP.

I'm not subscribed to many communities. Maybe linux and BuyEuropean and not much else.

I doubt that's the reason for the spam.

All excellent recommendations too. Hats off to Proton!

Well, would you say Boost blocks images by default? Because Thunder (the front end I'm using) doesn't.

Yeah, that's what I'm concerned about. Getting random CSAM, or Gore, or some f'ed up stuff like that. Images should at the bare minimum come censored before clicking.

I didn't even have the option to click any placeholders, it just automatically loads the whole thing (but maybe its just the front-end I'm using).

What's up with everyone in this comment section shilling registrars with abysmal customer reviews? Lol. The only one that even has remotely good reviews is Mythic Beasts.

Anyways, I'd like to recommend IONOS (German). Their service has been flawless so far, and I haven't seen any reports of bad customer either.

Those reviews don't look very inspiring, not gonna lie. Also, their About page says their service is run from Costa Rica?

Ultimately I don't think these "privacy-first" domain registrars are a great choice, which is a rare thing to say about an internet service.

But you're dealing with private property here and being ICANN-accredited (which Njalla isn't) is kind of important if you're gonna do something serious with your domain. You want those protections that excessive privacy won't permit having.

The other one is a manual labourer or simple job worker bubble - I see a lot more diversity there, many people falling for different kinds of propaganda, superstition, fearmongering. Some of those are already hardcore nazis, some of them are sympathizers in some ways.

That's fine, I'm not gonna disagree with this, however I don't see these people as a large, organized group that is bigger than the anti-Israel, anti-Russia status quo.

They usually get informations from the TV, newspapers and friends, partially online as well - mostly Facebook.

From TV, really? Maybe if you're talking about Fox News... That sort of TV doesn't exist in most European countries, Thankfully.

From the internet though yeah, i agree. But again, these aren't apolitical people at that point, if they are getting so involved in political discussions like that.

I'm talking the West that had Mussolini hanged upside down out on the public square once fascism was put to practice. The same west that had Hitler and his peers put a bullet to their heads, once their ideology was implemented.

Yes, these ideologies were invented in the West, doesn't mean we accept them wholeheartedly once they are implemented.

Open class war. They know, sadly most workers don't seem to see it.

Right? I think Lemmy is way more conducive to conversations than Reddit.
