Dear #askfediverse

Does anyone have a link to a news article about the new US router ban, that includes comments from major ISPs?

As much as I'm enjoying reading the book, the tiny font is reminding me why I tend to prefer ebooks in every day reading.
But I do prefer physical books over all, so something must be done.

Do any of you have any recommendations for a magnifying glass of some kind to help? It would need to be both light and portable and possibly be used with the same hand holding the book.

I have migrated from a popular mastodon instanced to a self hosted gotosocial instance. Gotosocial is great and it works well. But one thing I am missing is discovery. It seems that self hosted single user instance limits discovery. I am missing out on finding new awesome people through the feed.

Do others who have tried this type of setup have any tips?

Apparently Bluehost doesn’t follow “Speed up procedure” so even for an authorized transfer we're subject to ICANN's mandated hold period?

I have never encountered this limitation before. Autho codes have always been provided to speed it up. I guess Bluehost continues to just be bad?

Bluehost says “the process” takes 5-7 days but is "often faster”. But if Namecheap can receive it in 30 minutes, clearly it's up to the prior registrar simply to release the domain, no?

Or is there actually some uncontrollable background process like propagation that needs to occur? It baffles me because that's a wild range of variability even for DNS.

Okay, someone who knows how domain registrars work…

Why does the transfer process take so long?

I have Bluehost telling me a transfer is approved with the auth code, so it should be transferrable right away. I have Namecheap telling me a domain can transfer in as little as 30 minutes once approved.

It's been almost 24 hours and all I'm told is we have to wait for “THE PROCESS” but no one will tell me what that is.

I made a thing and I'd quite like you to vote for it. It's a new Federated server that allows the public to share environmental data. All the details are on the page (plus my embarrassing video) and it's up for vote in the Hack for Humanity 2026.

Watch the video, read the gumph and if you've got the energy click the vote button.

Thanks all.
