Made my shop fan quieter
Made my shop fan quieter - Lemmy.World
I have a shop fan on my porch that I leave on 24/7 when it’s humid out. It has three speeds. The lowest speed is rather noisy. If I don’t run it, humidity condenses on the front door. Then mosquitoes are attracted to the moist door. And this leads to them sometimes entering the house. I bought this ($19), so I can dial the lowest speed even lower to the exact point the noise is low enough but the wind is fast enough. It was just a thought that occurred to me since it’s electric, could it not be run at a different speed if the input electricity was changed? Yes, it can. Works beautifully.
What are these wires on this water tower? What is their purpose?

So I suppose the agreement from the ccTLD you agree to when you register a domain could say it won’t do this kind of bullshit. But there are no rules about them “updating” the agreement to take out that protection. So it still amounts to them being able to change anything at any time.
TIL: ccTLDs can re-price any domain at any time
TIL: ccTLDs can re-price any domain at any time - Lemmy.World
Specifically: Because the .mu registry (TLD operator) is a ccTLD, it can re-price any domain at any time. This is a follow up to: https://programming.dev/post/27587527 [https://programming.dev/post/27587527]. Conclusion: Be careful if choosing a ccTLD. They are not bound by the ICANN Registry Agreement [https://itp.cdn.icann.org/en/files/registry-agreements/base-registry-agreement-21-01-2024-en.html#article2.10]. Gandi contacted the .mu registry about the price increase, and the registry has assigned premium pricing to all 2-character and 3-character domains regardless of whether they’re premium or not. This would not be allowed if .mu was a gTLD. The .mu registry will not be grandfathering any domains registered and continually renewed since before premium domains were invented. I have reached out to the .mu TLD registry directly, and I am waiting to see if my personal plea will sway them. If they don’t change their minds, I’ll lose this domain on Tuesday. Timeline: I went to renew my domain about two weeks before it expiring, and discovered the renewal price went from $170 to $5,600 (or 32 years price for just one year). Usually, I do this much sooner, but my life has been crazy. Even three weeks ago I was barely functioning because of a sinus infection. I contacted Gandi, my registrar, and at first they were less than helpful. Eventually, they did escalate my ticket to their legal department who contacted the .mu registry. Gandi informed me that the .mu registry reclassified all 2-character and 3-character domains as premium. Gandi was not notified of the change, so that explains why I was not notified. Gandi said they do not agree with the reclassification of these domains—including mine. But, unfortunately, it’s not up to Gandi. They requested that the .mu registry reconsider but have had no reply. I then emailed ICANN about this because I was under the impression that the Registry Agreement governed all registries, and the reclassification is clearly a breach of the agreement. Unfortunately, ICANN let me know that this agreement doesn’t apply to ccTLDs. I have now sent an email directly to the .mu registry, hoping that a personal plea may make a difference. I am not optimistic. In the end, I will probably lose the domain. I will make sure to complain about .mu domains as much as possible if I lose it. I will also be weary of registering any ccTLDs in the future. I only have a couple. It’s been a wild ride. Many points where I was almost hopeful, but it’s probably just another case of the little guy getting screwed, and the big guy too rich to care.
Minor update:
I found a page that says “…ICANN does not accredit registrars or set registration policies for ccTLDs. For details about ccTLD registration policies, you should contact the designated country code manager.”

And better contact info for the TLD operator. www.iana.org/domains/root/db/mu.html

How to get back to `All` from `Communities` without resetting scroll position? - Lemmy.World
I am scrolling All, I have scrolled a long way, and I tap on a post. Then I’m done, I tap < Back, and then accidentally tap < Communities. [https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/be4cd09f-9aec-4bda-a361-58c374b4dd20.jpeg] I end up on this screen: [https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/42e4e79a-80f0-4b66-b35b-748612f2a845.jpeg] In Apollo, I used to be able to swipe the bottom of the screen to get right back where I am. In Voyager, I can only get back by tapping All in the list. I return to All, but I’m back at the top and lose my scrolling progress.
