@tiffanycli well, the book is going into circulation this summer — which means, the article is now timely. 😅

@locksmithprime @SgtApple While I agree that cheaters will find other ways, I support the use of different assessment techniques — writing essays, practical projects, lab reports, and written exams without tools all test different relevant skills and knowledge, and suit different people/profiles. Variation does help assessment but it is more time-intensive for lecturers. Re cheating, variation of means does make it harder, at least in my experience.

@lippard here’s the link: https://docs.apwg.org/reports/M3AAWG_APWG_WHOIS_User_Survey_Report_2021.pdf I was part of the 2nd Stability, security, resilience review (not part of the org, with people selected by community stakeholders) before that report was written — but this wasn’t sponsored by ICANN.

@lippard Sorry, I was a bit unclear. I was talking mainly to the DNS side of things, we didn’t look at Hosters. However: Doesn’t look like too bad a response time from DO — assuming it’s more than an automated notice.

@lippard co-wrote a report on WHOIS and anti-abuse two years ago; saw similar stories many times in the qualitative / open-ended responses to our survey. Seems the strategies to avoid acting on abuse haven’t changed much.

@nicholas I did the same thing for testing. One pi runs OpenHAB, one runs Home Assistant. It’s all non-final, so really don’t know what I’ll be using in the end. Both support so much more than what I currently have in terms of wants and needs.

@nicholas I test drove both for a very (!) short while. OpenHAB has the nicer app imho, and functionality is also far beyond what I am doing with Home Assistant. When I have time, I’ll try OpenHAB in more depth as well, it’s still there and waiting. For some reason, Home Assistant was the first one I tried out in more detail…
