Maybe building a better internet means going backwards
  • I also want quotes back instead of screenshots of text.

  • Any domain registrar/hosting provider that does not require propietary software to run?
  • Ah yes, I bet thou canst also skip the booting part when thou runst software on thy compooter. And Jehovah (or an idol of thy choice) forbids any configuration or upgrade requiring a reboot.

    Any domain registrar/hosting provider that does not require propietary software to run?

    If thou dissectst this even more clearly thou wouldof noticed OP asked about running a domain registrar or hosting provider, not using their service. Also the word was propietary.

    Now, if thou excuse OP's imperfect English thou can find a clearer description below:

    one that can be used without running nonfree programs

    Like virginity, it's either with or without innit, or doth thou prefer thy olive oil lightly fucked?

  • Any domain registrar/hosting provider that does not require propietary software to run?
  • static sites [are] not suitable for any business or professional use

    I wouldn't agree with this statement, there are plenty of businesses and professionals who are only on the interwebs to share their contact, biography or product knowledge base.

    That being said, there are VPS providers running on libre software like vpsFree.cz which I use and can recommend. There should be more out there but I don't keep track them, sorry.

    There's much thinner chance there exists a registrar caring about thee or thy software freedom though. People at sr.ht, LLC talks about setting up one but so far it's just talks.

    OpenNIC registrar (only be.libre seems to be functional) work without JS and thou can prolly ask them to license the site freely but non-ICANN domains are not practical for business or professional use due to the low adoption.

  • Any domain registrar/hosting provider that does not require propietary software to run?
  • once

    I get thy stand on this, personally I also have to compromise my software freedom to register my domains, but again OP asked to avoid X and saying after doing X you won't have to is not answering the question.

  • Any domain registrar/hosting provider that does not require propietary software to run?
  • The question wasn't about avoiding installing but running proprietary software.

  • Any domain registrar/hosting provider that does not require propietary software to run?
  • The separation is pedantic, but you can have dynamic websites without JS or with free ones. The argument is basically the server-side software only see the data you input, but client-side malware can extract information or do other nasty things you can't observe or prevent.

  • Any domain registrar/hosting provider that does not require propietary software to run?
  • Gandy or namecheap

    I'm pretty sure they require proprietary client-side scripts to function as well.

    Is it safe to witness accidents, disasters, or fights in Việt Nam?
  • Accidents, disasters and fights are not safe to be around for obvious reasons, but from experience as a native the locals tend to be rather curious and any unusual gathering is a good sign that one of those is happening.

    Trying to help the injured without expertise can make it worse. If the police is already there, they know what to do, otherwise call for them (113), firefighters (114) or an ambulance (115). Try not to obstruct the road (as we witnesses tend to do ;-).

    You might get into political trouble by documenting the event against the canonical narrative, though yuan in bribes is very unlikely to get you anything but confused faces. Official fine for misinformation or causing panic is unlikely outrageous in your currency, given you don't sound like there's any financial burden to casually travel to Việt Nam.

    Good press is the number one concern, so I can't think of a scenario where it's worth it to pin a foreigner down for a crime. A corrupted officer would try to get bribes from misdemeanors, e.g. traffic violations, instead.

    Once again, it's not an invitation to try to jump in to help. Crowds behave poorly in emergency, or in case of traffic accidents, drivers won't look out for you and can collaborate with you to make a new one. It's best to watch from afar and call for help.

  • Don't think it qualifies as a metro system currently but I'm excited to see it become one one day.

The once lush and green field now lies barren, peppered with rice husks. Ren, 43, who has witnessed the ever-changing land and waterscapes of the Mekong, is one ...

    Why would a fly land on something like this?
  • Guess what, you can run Vim inside Emacs inside Vim inside Emacs now!

  • :q!<CR> is equivalent to ZQ

  • Democratic and Republican presidential campaigns use fundamentally different moral rhetoric, study finds
  • guess which type of person prefers which rhetoric

    The answer would surprise you, see The Righteous Mind for elaborations, but TL;DR while the US Republicans succeed at capturing morally more diverse population, especially (and ironically) the rural and working-class, the US Democrats still fail to cater to or even acknowledge foundations other than care, liberty and fairness.

  • Remember what "subscription" used to mean?
  • Steamworks is DRM like anything, but if it is possible to play without it then it’s “yours”, is how I summarize it.

    Since we're in a community about events making us (regrettably) admit that Stallman was right, I don't think freedom 0 alone is enough for the concept of ownership.

  • Remember what "subscription" used to mean?
  • But are the games you redeem even yours?

  • Fediverse privacy nightmare?
  • if I sent you a private message, is that viewable in plain text by not just the instance owner we’re both on

    Yes.

    other federated instances too?

    Not by design, but instances can misbehave.

    private messaging over AP

    Private is misleading here: for messaging to be private, no third party should be able to read the messages. In practice, this usually requires end-to-end encryption.

  • Balsamic vinegar in mắm tôm

    I realized that the kitchen was running out of lemon and lime after frying some tofu, so I ended up mixing the shrimp paste sauce with balsamic vinegar as the substitution.

    Pros:

    • Sour and slightly sweet
    • Lasting longer than the fruits

    Cons:

    • Lacking the freshness of citrus
    • Distracting flavor

    I'd rate it 5/11, works but not worth trying.

    How ripe are the tomatoes y'all buy?

    Back in Việt Nam I could pick the ripe ones in the market, but since I moved to South Korea, they are hard as rocks. I often have to buy tomatoes a week or two in advance and wonder about your situation. Some are too green and refuse to ripen even after a month.

    Cherry tomatoes are still good, though not suitable for finer sauces that require peeling.
