I used to pay for a subscription, but I canceled it because I was using it for two hosts only. They are now offering a subscription for 20 dollars, which I think is very expensive considering the two hosts I need.
Go to http://freedns.afraid.org/dynamic/ and login with your normal username and password for the freedns service. Click "Direct URL" on the domain you would like to be set to your WAN IP address. Copy everything from the right of the ? in the address bar.
Router Settings:
DDNS Service: freedns.afraid.org
User Name: USERNAME
Password: PASSWORD
Host Name: yourdomain.com,What_You_Copied_Before
Force Update Interval 10
(Note: Since afraid.org doesn't require a username and password when doing a "wget-style" update, you can also just do the following to keep from exposing your username and password:
User Name: guest
Password: guest)
Afraid.org works by allowing users to mark their domains as 1) public, allowing anyone to attach a subdomain to it at will, 2) private, allowing anyone to request a subdomain, and 3) Stealth, a premium feature allowing you to hide your domains from the registry altogether.
I've been happily using it for years, and Josh is very responsive if you have problems or questions.
Thanks for the recommendation, I use no-ip ( http://freedns.no-ip.com/ ) did not know about FreeDNS back when I set it up when dyndns got annoying, but no-ip has been fine.
Mostly because 1. it's free and 2. it was one of the listed providers supported by my OpenWRT router[1].
While I'm not against paying for services per se, I didn't really feel like one simple host was worth shelling out $20 for on an annual, perpetual basis.
I have been a happy, non-paying customer of ZoneEdit.com for years. I am looking for current information on their free offering and coming up empty, but if the pricing page is complete, your two zones would cost you $12/year each there.
I think that the offering when I signed up was two free zones. Now it looks like you can get one for free, unless I'm just grandfathered in.
To me it's really a matter of symmetry. Having lines of code that do similar things look aligned is readable and beautiful.
Hence in Ruby, for example, I love how the "case" statement makes it easy for several conditions to be aligned:
case
when a == 0
when b == 0
end
In C++, "a == 0" and "b == 0" don't align:
if (a == 0)
{
}
else if (b == 0)
{
}
Now imagine that on a much wider scale. With variable-width fonts the only thing that would ever align would be the beginning of lines. A visual nightmare that affects readability.
Indeed... I typed the project's description, and this is what I got:
AutoJS is a library topic continuenuously authorocomplete termxtarea backsed one a stillandard dictionary. Dictionary has buteen deviceviced basedd on researchers and linguistic methods, keeping an eye on millionnimizing the siteze of the likeibrary. Complete productject is writertin in plain js, with no externalnal devicependencies, and siteze is reduced to mere 6 kb.
This article was very relevant to me. I've been writing bash script for so many years, yet I didn't know you could just "set -u" to make bash stop when I accidentally use an uninitialized variable. "set -e" is also incredible useful (bash quits if any statement fails).
When you have bytecode, you have programs that run using them. I understand how these are a good thing in fonts or in PDF, but what is running i this ACPI machine the author described?
I think the question is the reverse: not what program implements the VM but which programs run on it and what are they doing? at least that is what I'm asking.
Once again, people's productivity is not linked with their salary. There are better ways to encourage them to increase the quality of their output, while making them happier.
I'm not an iOS user, but doesn't it sound a bit unprofessional for them to write such post on their main blog? Won't it piss off iOS users, who are not responsible for Apple's bad practices?
I think such rants should indeed be made public, but maybe there was a better outlet for FastMail to do that.
Out of curiosity, do you mind explaining why you think it's unprofessional?
> Won't it piss off iOS users, who are not responsible for Apple's bad practices?
In many(most?) services abuse of the service is met with suspension, etc. IMHO this case clearly counts as an abuse of the system regardless of whose fault it is.
Oh, well. Time to move on.
