My current host has decided to vibe code their DNS management page. Needless to say, it's been broken for months. I used to get around it with their legacy cPanel access, but it seems they've disabled that for DNS management now. EDIT: I was being a moron - found zone management in cPanel. The crappy interface still stands.

I'd transfer my domains away, but they've vibe-coded the Registrar Lock bit, too, so that's broken.

And their first line support is an LLM which regurgitates the incorrect instructions from their documentation website. Instructions which, by the way, also look LLM generated.

Le sigh.

UPDATE: Got the EPP and transferred the domain to @beasts. I've heard so many good things about them, that I thought they were worth giving a go. Just waiting for DNS to update.

"A formal mathematical proof from MIT and a preregistered empirical study in Science from Stanford arrived within a month of each other, and together they make the same unsettling argument: the danger of AI chatbots is not what they get wrong. It is how enthusiastically they agree with everything we get wrong. Not a chatbot that lies to you, but a mirror that reflects your beliefs back at you, slightly amplified, every single time."

Toxic tech trail: Telangana’s e-waste surges fivefold in eight years

https://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/hyderabad/2026/Apr/06/toxic-tech-trail-telanganas-e-waste-surges-fivefold-in-eight-years

All over the world, e-waste is surging, and 95% of it doesn't get properly recycled, with all this toxic waste going into water, soil and air.

E-waste is the actual reality of our so-called green and clean tech future.

Now this is funny: The German government claims that AI will increase GDP by 11% by 2030 (start date not provided), based on a PwC study which the consultancy seems to have itself retracted 🤔

So, it turns out the German implementation of eIDAS (electronic ID wallet for e.g. age attestation) will require an Apple/Google account to function

Absolutely pathetic

Hey, you know what’s a good idea? Firing the General of the #Army in the middle of conflict. You wanna know why our secretary of scotch fired Gen. Randy George, a career infantry officer with many tours in our never ending wars?

Because he refused to remove two Black and two female officers from a list of military members to be promoted to one-star generals.

#Hegseth also removed two other Army generals; Gen. David Hodne, and Maj. Gen. William Green Jr., the chief of Army chaplains, for not bowing to the golden idol.

This means only two members of the Joint Chiefs have not been fired.

Hegseth has fired Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr., the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; Adm. Lisa Franchetti, head of the U.S. Navy; Adm. Linda Fagan, commandant of the Coast Guard; and Gen. James Slife, vice chief of staff of the Air Force and Gen. David Allvin, chief of staff of the Air Force.
