selfhost.eu offers dynamic DNS which works perfectly fine with my router, using their API access as documented by them. It also works perfectly well with Let’s Encrypt integrated in Nginx Proxy Manager.

• can handle .at domains
• is not Cloudflare
• is registrar and name server
• is European (Germany)
• supports Nginx Proxy Manager

They’re in the market since 2001, I use them since ca. 2010 and never had any issues. Their website looks ancient, almost historic. But it’s functional.

Can you ELI5 why water has no calories, which is also a unit of energy?

Calories are a very specific type of measuring energy, especially when used in the context of nutrition. When nutritionists say that water has 0 calories, they mean that water has no nutritional energy.

But when looking at it from a non-nutrition perspective water has calories.

When you say, “something has X calories”, it’s a shorthand of saying “something has an equivalent of X times the amount of energy that is needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1°C.”

From a physical point of view water ALWAYS has energy (that you can express in calories) because something with mass can never have no energy.

But I’m not sure that all matter has energy.

It has. If it has mass, it has energy, that is a core principle of how matter is defined scientifically.

Calories are not “a thing” but a measurement unit for energy. So yes. everything “has calories”.

Someone else will continue selling RAM and making money.

TNG is also painfully old fashioned. Especially the fist two seasons are … hard to watch sometimes.

Honestly: I would start with VOY. It’s easy to watch, has a certain amount of action, and doesn’t lose it too much with society and politics.

Have we just become numb to ads?

Online I use multiple browser extensions and settings to avoid showing ads. In the offline world there is no way to avoid them but I think I pretty much can ignore them.

I also intentionally do not buy anything I remember seeing an ad for.

The URLs mentioned in their blog article all have a wrong certificate (different host name).

I am sure if they fix it Google’s system would reclassify the sites as safe.

Please go see a doctor if you think you have skin cancer.

I’ll always prefer physical media over streaming for things I like.

It’s mainly Bluray nowadays, but also some older DVDs.

• Mail with all the bells and whistles (been there, done that – but I just want this to work and not care about details).
• Dynamic DNS because I just need to tell someone my non-static IP so they can connect that with my domain name.

I’m going to voluntarily read other people’s AI slop.

Or just yolo it, if you have some money to burn.

Stop eating.

Files on your own hardware are equally good as physical media.

This made me vomit a little in my mouth.

I am with you on physical media, and it is sad. Physical media is the only media you really own.

The IPv6 range is barely even used.

Yet.

Also I imagine that there will be a secondary market for IPv6 at some point.

Like there already is one for IPv4 addresses?

I stand by my point:

No-one will ever need a /48 range.

The ranges will become larger over time because “we have it”, and companies will get thousands of sections with figuratively unlimited IP addresses in them each.

With this huge ranges we’ll have the same problem with IPv6 in a few years that we already have with IPv4.
