It's not a matter of time. And i dont want cloudflare to track me across many different sites, nor my website visitors.


Did you try uuidv7 yet?


From what i remember they did the same at wetransfer. Doubling pricings without notification.



I'm surprised to read they had an actual physical office you _could_ show up :)

was it a very distant location to head out to?


It was some address in Warsaw, so if I needed that domain badly, it'd be one Ryanair flight away, and definitely an interesting experience :) But I was only using it for a small blog, so I just let it expire. I hoped I would be able to register it again immediately after it expires, but some scammers beat me to it (probably scanning for expiring domains with good reputation/SEO), so last time I checked, the domain is used to advertise some magic pills.


Now I am curious. Was that registrar "nazwa.pl"?


No. Nazwa may be a bait-and-switch scam when it comes to pricing, but they are a big registrar that has to play by the rules set by NASK. I used a small "PHP+MySQL+email+domain" provider, that (as I later learned) was so small they didn't want to fork out a few grands a year to NASK to be a proper registrar themselves, so they instead used another (still shady) registrar under the hood.


Creating aliases for the addresses you are actually using, e.g. a netflix@ signup is preferred over a general catch all, .. and all that spam senders can generate approach.


Some services will also ban you for this. Samsung, Amazon, ... so you have to use generic or random words on left side.


Been using this with Amazon and plenty of other services for decades, not sure where you’re coming from.


Samsung now blocks the word samsung at registration time. Previously if you signed up successfully they would disable your account at a random point in the future.


i encountered the samsung@ issue too, so that turned into sumsang@ which worked. :)


RAG, or Retrieval Augmented Generation, is an AI technique that improves large language models (LLMs) by connecting them to external knowledge bases to retrieve relevant, factual information before generating a response. This approach reduces LLM "hallucinations," provides more accurate and up-to-date answers, and allows for responses grounded in specialized or frequently updated data, increasing trust and relevance.

I was unaware what RAG referred to, perhaps other too.


Should the acronym not be 'PSPSP'? Or that sounds too much like luring a cat?


It should be exactly that for exactly that reason


Does give you more things to 'hack' for the club. Not all bad I guess, and saving that amount of money is worth creating some 'new projects'.


"I’ve not seen any file corruption when importing to Darktable, so I am convinced this is a problem with the Photos app."

Yes this argument is a bit unconvincing for me. Not saying Apple photos doesn't corrupt his files, but this is not real proper investigating either.
