From what I've seen/heard, if you follow the ToS (usually by not proxy-ing hosts that shouldn't be proxied or are in violation if they are) there's nothing to be afraid of ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Just wanted to say in case others see this, you can buy a .xyz domain from reputable places (maybe for a higher cost). I believe the OP is talking about the specific site 'gen.xyz'.

I have an xyz domain with Cloudflare, host many things on it (like Jellyfin), and haven't had any issues yet.

Edit: as many have pointed out, my understanding of registrars was wrong and gen.xyz actually owns all xyz tlds. Sleep in fear if you own one I suppose

Unless something changed, I'm fairly certain you can't unlock the bootloaders of Verizon devices

Sigh I miss my BlackBerry

I don't often comment my opinions but I'm curious to hear the arguments for my rationale:

Call it what you want; ignorance, childish, stupid, etc. I don't pay attention to the news (haven't for many years now) and I firmly believe it's okay that I don't.

So much of what's presented by the media doesn't impact my day-to-day life in the slightest. Ex. War in a foreign country is kicking off...what can I do about that? Gas prices go up...am I going to stop getting gas?

When hanging out with friends and family, the larger topics tend to be brought up and that's how I learn what is going on currently (especially when this happens with different groups of people) without trying.

I also don't vote because, at this point, I'd consider myself the definition of an uninformed voter.

Left IT for flying. Figured it'd be a great change to my indoor-centric lifestyle.

My whole life I've seen people that are or became masters of their craft and I've always admired them. I'm in my 30s. I'm not sure if I'll ever be a master of anything but I was far closer in IT than I am as a pilot lol

Custom build of (rooted post-buildtime) GrapheneOS.

I understand all the reasons not to root GrapheneOS but I enjoy the control and options over my device that I'd otherwise not have if it wasn't for rooting

I miss BB10 (maybe the physical device more than the OS lol) dearly! That's pretty neat to know both interfaces were derived from the same source, I knew I noticed a lot of similarities!

A version of QNX (made by Blackberry) is in my Volkswagen. It's quick, noninvasive, and still works well despite my removal of the 4G comm box that connected it to the Internet. I'd truly miss QNX if it disappeared.

Lol they won't let me change my email address.

The email account has been closed for 6 months now and the bank account/debit card they want me to verify my payment with has been closed for years

I just started cleaning things up when I saw this. Probably going to try and make a build without microg and using sandboxed play services now: https://grapheneos.org/releases#2023123000

 

As the title says...what are you all doing?
