Maybe you could use a provider that isn't your domain registrar? I personally use Cloudflare.

I'm pretty sure you can setup Dynamic DNS with Cloudflare. I don't personally use that feature, but they have a ton of DNS configurations for you to choose. My domain's email is also managed by Cloudflare. And it's completely free!

It was initially available. I checked multiple websites to compare prices/services. And when I entered it into GoDaddy.com, the domain was bought. I checked the WHOIS out of curiosity and coincidentally it's owned by a GoDaddy subsidiary.

Porkbun! There are many to pick from but from my experience Porkbun includes everything you need out of the box at no additional cost. Namecheap has very good first year deals, but after that it almost doubles in price.

Which registrar you pick initially doesn't matter too much. I started with Namecheap then moved to Porkbun after a year with them (Completely free to move, but you'll have to buy an extra year if you move tho)

Don't use GoDaddy though. I was searching for a domain on that site and after a few minutes it was taken.

The headline is a bit click-baity. It's promoted as a way for your friend to recommend matches for you, which is shown as a badge on the people in your feed. It's meant to be a fun feature to play with your friend.

Not a game dev but I've had interest in using Unity for machine learning. I'm now trying out Godot since it does have quite a few ML libraries and it seems to be maintained better than Unity's ml-agents.

Unity-ml-agents is quite a hassle to deal with but a few months ago I wasn't able to find any altrrnatives. At least one good thing that came out of this is that I learned that there is an alternative to using Unity now.

Although I agree that people get paid less here, I highly doubt that it costs an ISP in the US 8x more to transfer data than an ISP in Thailand.

I'm not really trying to argue that Thai internet is cheap, it's that internet elsewhere is exorbitantly expensive.

In Thailand I'm getting 400Mbps upload and download with unlimited data.

It costs about 300฿/mo ≈ $8.7/mo

For now you could remove Typesense from the Docker image. Just edit the .env and remove the # in # TYPESENSE_ENABLED=false

Then go to the Dockerfile and comment out the Typesense service.

The feed in Threads is quite bad, but I'm pretty sure you can block an instance. I mainly follow content creators or follow updates and announcements for software I use.

Privacy was an example. People could migrate for any reason they want; whether it be due to the UI/UX of the app, the annoying IG integration, bad moderation, the algorithm, etc. Like with the case of people leaving Twitter and Reddit, but now you don't lose content and there's a lower barrier of entry.

They could take control of ActivityPub, but we can always create a fork of it if it does get to that point. We can manage without Meta anyway. And suppose Meta controls ActivityPub, it's still better than the current system where content is locked in a single platform and controlled by solely 1 company.

Although fostering an open social network is not the intent of Meta, Threads indirectly benefits the concept of federation as a whole by contributing content and making it "mainstream".

Threads is going to peel off users whether or not it federates with us. At least federating means that Threads users can easily switch to a more private Meta-less platform and still access content on Threads.
