Just scraping the #IANA assigned TLDs and the corresponding documented #nameservers. What I don't get is, why so many companies apply for a #TLD. It's not particularly cheap to apply for one of those ngTLDs, yet compared to the company sizes, it's probably pennies. Is it a prestige investment? Is it a digital resource to grab, before someone else does it?

Other than #Microsoft, #Google, and #AWS, I've rarely seen any ngTLD representing a corporation's name to actually be used in practice.

Does anyone in the #infosec community share their view?

Anyone who has to deliver online training sessions knows how bad #teams is.

Whilst there are some questions about #zoom it's an order of magnitude better.

Today I was told about #Butter.

Has anyone used it? Especially for online training.

What do you like or dislike about it?

Should I give it a go?

Lazy question/search is broken now: what's the best way to get ripped DVDs from a hard drive attached to my server to my not smart TV which could have a Chromecast connected to it along with the sky box. There's ethernet from the office to the living room so bandwidth shouldn't be a problem.

If necessary I can move the drive to the TV, ideally I don't want to need a keyboard and mouse in the living room.

There are spare raspberry pis available too add to the mix if needed

Is there any great book on #AlpineLinux ? I love the concept, and love the considerations of the operating system. Yet, I usually opt for #Debian since I am much more familiar with it. It would be great to change that in the mid-term.

Does anyone know of an android music app that can play tracks downloaded to a folder but doesn't auto play the next track when the current one finishes?

I have to play some music at an event via a Bluetooth speaker and the apps I can find all jump to the next track automatically, but I need to be able to play them individually.

What's a cheap hosting service for a small JavaScript server nowadays?

Details:

glitch.com is shutting down their webhosting early July. Infrequently I am using a custom application (stateful server, no database) hosted there of about 100 effective lines of JavaScript. Need an alternative now.

Never made the jump to one of the big, flashy providers. Not afraid of technical, high-profile solutions, but effort should be reasonable. I don't want to use Amazon or other unethical Big Tech. Needs to be publicly accessible and CORS-friendly.

I share a lot of links, obviously. Just things I find interesting and want to share or discuss. Many of them are timely, though, and most of them are not my content

So, I am wondering if I should set those to autodelete. What are your feelings towards automatically deleting old posts?

#lazyweb Anyone know of any short (2 - 20 min) #video or #audio #podcasts that I can follow via #rss ? I am open to just about any subject but these get moved to the top of the list: #science #technology #history #astronomy #environment

Even better if they are #indieweb or #smallweb #creators
