| minasota | what do you all use for domain name registration? | 20:44 |
|---|---|---|
| Unit193 | https://www.namecheap.com/ | 20:44 |
| minasota | Unit193: so I can _just_ register with them, I don't have to host thru them, right? | 20:46 |
| Unit193 | I don't use any of their hosting, no. There's also name.com, gandi.net, and some others. | 20:47 |
| minasota | I had a no-ip account. was going to use them, but it was like almost 60 bucks after everything was done | 20:48 |
| minasota | well, more like $47 and some change. ~25 a year for renewal and ~$10 for private registration | 20:49 |
| minasota | and some other stuff they added I did not need | 20:50 |
| Unit193 | namecheap even has a Dynamic endpoint. My home router supports it, so if the router gets a new IP it can just update the subdomain for home. ddclient supports it. | 20:50 |
| Unit193 | ...Didn't no-ip have a free tier? | 20:50 |
| minasota | Unit193: that's cool. I used no-ip for that. | 20:50 |
| minasota | No free teir that I know of as far as regestering a domain name | 20:51 |
| Unit193 | And yeah, even with whoisguard my domain isn't even that bad for renewals. | 20:51 |
| * minasota is missing the in-line spellcheck... still learning weechat | 20:52 | |
| minasota | I'm looking at the site right now. Looks like what I searching for | 20:52 |
| minasota | idk, maybe I'm complicating things. All I need is a name that points to my server | 20:54 |
| minasota | Unit193: I'm curious, what do you use your server for? | 20:58 |
| Unit193 | Depends which server, and a lot of things. | 20:59 |
| minasota | Unit193: man of many words... :) Ok | 21:16 |
| Unit193 | Well, I could list a few, but don't really know what you're looking for. Of course an httpd, I run a firefox sync server but that's just a uwsgi application behind the httpd, cgit+gitolite repos, torrent tracker, I have a couple bots on different ones, one sits in #ubuntu even, etc, etc. :P | 21:17 |
| minasota | Unit193: good job, you have officially lost me :) I'm going to take a moment and google some of what you just said | 21:24 |
| Unit193 | Well that wasn't quite what I intended, just gave a partial list. | 21:25 |
| minasota | Unit193: idk really, I want to learn and play around, but at the same time I don't want to comprimise legit things I'm using my server for | 21:25 |
| minasota | I know man, that's why I ask in here, You all are very knowledable | 21:26 |
| * minasota knows how to spell, damn you weechat plugin... | 21:26 | |
| Unit193 | I suppose to be fair I have it because I either use it or am playing around with it. :P (I used to have bttracker running a while, forgot about it, ended up being handy then upgraded it to opentracker.) | 21:28 |
| minasota | I've actually been reading about creating a bot. But the documention is all over the place. Basically something like #newsly in ##news but for sports :D | 21:30 |
| Unit193 | Ah, yanos bot. | 21:30 |
| Unit193 | Erm, 'yano's bot' | 21:31 |
| Unit193 | I idle in the weather channel getting alerts (eg, ##weather-us-tn for TN.) | 21:31 |
| minasota | I do the same thing. But for the weather I just created a conky script that I could view without opening anything | 21:33 |
| Unit193 | Ah, I have a weather script for my conky as well, yeah. | 21:33 |
| minasota | it's nothing really other than, "can I do this" If I really need to know the weather there are plenty of recources :) | 21:35 |
| cyberanger | I'd been using namecheap, considering switching myself though | 21:37 |
| minasota | grrr, I've spent lmost an hour reviewing this service... I just need a freaking name for my server | 21:38 |
| minasota | :) | 21:38 |
| cyberanger | Unit193: what is it you use like dot.tk | 21:40 |
| cyberanger | minasota: have you seen dot.tk? | 21:40 |
| minasota | not yet.. | 21:43 |
| Unit193 | cyberanger: Ah yeah, though of course you can use others like .ga. | 21:43 |
| cyberanger | Might be your answer, your just needing it for family and friends, you don't need a full blown professional .com | 21:43 |
| cyberanger | Unit193: thanks, .ga was the other one | 21:44 |
| Unit193 | Or, err, .net... | 21:44 |
| Unit193 | cyberanger: There's a few now, though getting StartSSL certs is out of the question for .tk. Thanks for reminding me, even if I do still have those domains... | 21:44 |
| cyberanger | Unit193: wonder if letsencrypt will fix that | 21:45 |
| cyberanger | minasota: look at http://www.my.ga/en/index.html?lang=en and http://www.dot.tk/en/index.html?lang=en | 21:45 |
| Unit193 | cyberanger: Actually they use freenom.com | 21:46 |
| minasota | cyberanger: thanks, will do | 21:47 |
| cyberanger | minasota: What Unit193 said, http://www.freenom.com/en/index.html?lang=en | 21:50 |
| cyberanger | has .tk and .ga, few others | 21:51 |
| cyberanger | Unit193: thanks, forgot about that. | 21:51 |
| Unit193 | Hah, maybe between the two of us we'll finally get it. :P | 21:52 |
| cyberanger | Maybe | 21:59 |
| Unit193 | Meh, future of newsbeuter in Debian doesn't look great. | 22:00 |
| cyberanger | How so? | 22:28 |
| cyberanger | pull from git/subversion/bazzar then? | 22:28 |
| minasota | checked freenom and the domain I want is available - .ml .ga. cf. gq | 23:04 |
| minasota | "As a PAID domain name registrant, you receive the benefits of holding the legal license rights of the domain name. This means that you can register the domain for a longer period of time (1-10 years)" | 23:05 |
| minasota | How long does the free domain name last? | 23:05 |
| minasota | I'm assuming I have to update or something every 12 months? | 23:05 |
| cyberanger | Unit193: Has it changed lately? | 23:05 |
| cyberanger | minasota: think 3 or 6 months, you just renew it though, Unit193 might know more | 23:06 |
| minasota | so it's like a host with no-ip, just renew when time is up? | 23:12 |
| cyberanger | Yep | 23:15 |
| Unit193 | cyberanger: Usually 12 months is the long option, aye. | 23:25 |
| minasota | cool | 23:29 |
| minasota | Unit193: you still around? | 23:38 |
| Unit193 | Yeah. | 23:38 |
| minasota | the firefox sync server you said you run, I know firefox offers that service with an account acctivation. Just curious how/why you setup your own. Might be something I'd like to do | 23:45 |
| minasota | Basically, what advantage would I have running my own sync server for firefox over what is already available? | 23:46 |
| Unit193 | I then "own" the data. I didn't really "feel" comfortable trying it out with them having all my data. | 23:46 |
| Unit193 | cyberanger has it better of course, FXA too. | 23:47 |
| minasota | Unit193: I totally understand. Can you point me towards something I could read up on this more, please | 23:47 |
| Unit193 | https://docs.services.mozilla.com/howtos/run-sync-1.5.html well this isn't what I did, but docs. | 23:48 |
| minasota | cool, I'll take a look. I found this one, too https://www.vegard.net/archives/10175/ I like the idea of owning the sync/data. thank you | 23:51 |
