Replace "x.com" in the URL with "xcancel.com" to see context, replies, chronological user tweets, etc. It's a Nitter instance that still works.

Hadn't heard of pikvm before. Will keep that in mind, thanks!

While you didn't name names of what app you were using for streaming, I just got into a similar situation with my dorm and what I found worked was using wired ALVR for my streaming. Not wireless, but good, long right-angled USB-C cables don't cost a fortune. https://github.com/alvr-org/ALVR/wiki/ALVR-wired-setup-(ALVR-over-USB)

I'm at college right now, which is a 3 hour drive away from my home, where a server of mine is. I just have to ask my parents to turn it back on when the power goes out or it gets borked. I access it solely through RustDesk and Cloudflare Tunnels SSH (it's actually pretty cool, they have a web interface for it).

I have no car, so there's really no way to access it in case something catastrophic happens. I have to rely on hopes, prayers, and the power of a probably outdated Pop!_OS install. Totally doesn't stress me out I'll just say I like to live on the edge :^)

What's Reddit?

I don't know the specifics behind why the limit is 72 bytes, but that might be slightly tricky. My understanding of bcrypt is that it generates 2^salt different possible hashes for the same password, and when you want to test an input you have to hash the password 2^salt times to see if any match. So computation times would get very big if you're combining hashes

Good to know! I suppose it makes sense for the smaller registries to be a little shadier.

 

Apologies if this is the wrong community. I spent some time searching for a good one, and this seemed to be fairly applicable.

I've owned several domains over the years, but recently I purchased another one (goat.rest) to house a little side project I was working on. For about two weeks, everything was running fine, and then out of the blue the site disappeared. After some investigation, I figured out that the domain had been suspended by the registry, with seemingly no reason or course of action to get it back. I triple-checked, and although the TLD for the domain is intended for restaurants, it should be open for other uses too. The site wasn't spammy, explicit, or in any way content that would be cause for removal. I sent an email to the company that owns the TLD, and three days later the block was removed, and hours later I got an incredibly vague and short email stating as such.

While the site was down, I did a little research and found a post where someone had a similar issue, but I haven't been able to find much else. Do registries just randomly, automatically suspend domains when they want to?

I wrote a blog post going into a little more detail about the whole situation, but mainly I'm just really curious about the question I asked in the title. Am I just super unlucky to have this happen to me, or have other people experienced a similar situation?

While I do agree that this is bad, I'm a little confused—what does this have to do with dead internet theory? Doesn't that relate to users being bots?

I'm sure a lot of forks will pop up right around this time. I'll be less skeptical of them once I see actual commits made to the codebase instead of things like just changing the readme

I hate to be that guy, but it doesn't seem like there's anything to this fork. At least a few links in the README don't work, and the domain for the "email" is actively for sale. The owner of the repository doesn't seem to have any real previous projects on their GitHub account.

I can understand that it's a new fork, but in my mind you'd want to at least make sure the Readme is... passable before you spread the word and make a Patreon for the project.

EDIT: The Patreon link has been removed since I made this comment. I'm still incredibly skeptical of the project though

The brief explanation is that Nitter worked by creating "guest accounts", which were a leftover from when you used to be able to use the Twitter mobile app without an account. After creation, these accounts lasted for a month. The time since the ability to create these accounts was removed is nearing (has reached?) a month
