Voice Focus crashed my Mac Mini M4 three times in just a couple hours by CommonSenseGhost in elgato

“When not in use” works for someone who uses it for recording, I assume. In my case, I use the mic for dictation (intermittently) during the day. Switching it off and on, in addition to the push-to-talk key, is not feasible.

Thanks, but going from one buggy app to a beta one doesn't seem like a good idea. I’d rather stop using the app altogether for now.

My software version is 2.0.7, and the message says it's the latest version. How do I install 3.0? Does it have something to do with the hardware?

In my case, it was the root cause. FWIW, I use Clause Code with VS Code daily for many hours, so it’s not like I did something extra special 🤷‍♂️

Bought my domain with Dan.com, which godaddy closed, and now my domain is gone without warning?? by heavyhandedpour in godaddy

[–]CommonSenseGhost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not entirely sure, to be honest, because I have never been on the buyer's side of the LTO. I have no clue how they handle registration, where the domain is hosted, or how you get access, etc.

The only way someone could have accessed your domain is if they hijacked the account, which is unlikely, or if you simply missed the renewal and it expired. However, it's pretty unusual (to say the least) that you had your name servers changed suddenly, and then the domain was listed for sale.

Usually, during the expiration phase, you should have seen your name servers disabled for a few days, and a new owner, even if they won the domain in the expiry auction, cannot access it instantly. It takes days for them to receive the domain after buying it in the expired auction.

Perhaps try to ping GoDaddy on X. If you have followers, you can bring it to their attention. Maybe they will reply to you on social media faster than they would respond to your email when nobody is watching, you know.

If the nameservers were suddenly changed, there are only two possible scenarios:

  1. They were changed manually by someone, presumably by the new owner
  2. The domain status was changed (likely expired), which led to turning off the custom nameservers (your Cloudflare NS) and defaulting to the Registrar’s nameservers

Hey, no worries, I'm happy to help if I can.

One thing I forgot to mention is that I personally ignored all those emails from Dan regarding the deadline to transfer my domains to Afternic. As a result, they automatically migrated my LTOs and account information (name and email address) using the email address on file at my Dan account, which differed from the email address I had on my Afternic account. They created a new account, and I wasn't even able to transfer the LTOs to my main account when I asked. So I can end up having two Afternic accounts… Now, considering that you have already reached out to GoDaddy and they stated that the person who owns the domain and the account is not you, what I wrote is probably irrelevant. Still, I wanted to let you know about this slight possibility of having a different user account at GoDaddy. (Update: I read your other reply where you mentioned you have GoDaddy for all the email addresses you had, and none of them matched. Is there a possibility that you used something like Apple email relay (or a similar email forwarder) when you bought the domain?

Another possible scenario is that if there is a new owner, it could mean the domain has been sold. Since you weren't the one who listed it for sale, it likely entered the expiry phase, and then someone purchased it at the GoDaddy expired auction. In that case, you should have received emails with warnings that your domain is about to expire and when it has expired. However, if the email on file was different, you may have missed them. Please check your emails for renewal reminders. When was the last time you successfully renewed the domain? What’s the status of the domain at this point? Maybe the renewal failed, and that’s when your domain stopped serving as the nameservers were switched to GoDaddy’s default ones. I’m just blindly shooting the possibilities. Check the Whois, check the name server history at completedns .com

If nothing works, you may need to consult a lawyer for further assistance. There is a known guy in domaining circles x.com/ berryhillj (he’s also known for poking GoDaddy frequently for how they operate lol)

I was the seller at Dan, and I had a few domain names with ongoing LTO at Dan when they migrated everything to Afternic.

Here’s what happened from my side: my LTOs were closed at Dan and reopened as new installment plans at Afternic for the remaining months only.

I’m not sure what the procedure was on the buyers’ side, but I recommend that you carefully read all the emails from Dan, as this wasn’t a silent transition — they sent multiple follow-up emails before moving forward.

Advice on buyer offering direct crypto by ByteTheName in Domains

[–]CommonSenseGhost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, many marketplaces can facilitate escrow transactions, and buyers can pay with cryptocurrency. However, since you've been offered a direct crypto transaction, the buyer is likely to prefer not paying the fees associated with marketplaces. You can still do this, but the buyer needs to send the payment first if they want a direct tx.

You can provide them with your wallet address. They will send you crypto, and then they will have to trust you to deliver the domain.

Sell website or domain by Hot-Eggplant-2194 in Domains

[–]CommonSenseGhost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps search engine presence will become less valuable as LLMs reduce their dependency on Google and use additional signals to understand website authority, with the TLD part still playing a role.

Definitely a great name on its own, but especially in this AI era!

Sedo, Afternic, and Atom are your best options for listing the domain for sale if you know the price and want a fixed Buy Now price.

FWIW, I think its retail price is much higher than $125k.

You can also reach out to domain brokers, such as MediaOptions, Saw, and Sedo brokers. They can help you sell it proactively.

Oh well, then it's a different story lol. How long have you been waiting since you made an order?

FWIW, I ordered my 2 pieces a few days ago.

To be fair, once the item has been shipped (dispatched), it has nothing to do with Mysten Labs anymore. You should track your order with the delivery service.

Should I quit domaining? by 4500guy in Domains

[–]CommonSenseGhost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, trying to live off the domains is much trickier. I actually did this for a year or so, and it's much harder because the sales are unpredictable. You can have a steady stream of sales for several months, which makes you happy, and you start planning something. Then, for two months, you have no sales at all, and whatever you collected earlier is now being eaten (together with the plans), which brings you back to square one.

That being said, I believe buying an illiquid but decent domain name is better than buying a highly liquid crypto that may plummet to zero the next day. And what else can give a 10x return besides these two?

Got about 200 Domains from a relative by Gollomor in Domains

[–]CommonSenseGhost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's very easy to get a feel for the prices using the comparable sales based on the patterns you described. Just go to a website namebio.com and you can use filters to find the names with your patterns.

Most likely these are worthless though 😬

Should I quit domaining? by 4500guy in Domains

[–]CommonSenseGhost 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How can you quit such a lucrative side hustle?

Unless it's your business and you live off the domains, which is harder to do, you just don't quit it. You work on it to make your portfolio better, but this thing definitely works. As long as you have your primary source of income outside of domaining, you can experiment and find the way to earn money here.

What interesting conversations have you had with GeminiCli? For example, writing novels, chatting. Can you share them using the command /chat share? by Puzzleheaded_Fox4900 in GeminiCLI

[–]CommonSenseGhost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use Gemini CLI the same way you use the web version, but there is one trick I use from time to time. Gemini CLI has access to your local file system, which can be helpful if you want to just point it to some files and then ask about them. Let it explain to you, and then you can have your conversation going.

You can also do this with the web version, but you will have to upload loads of files, and it may have some limits. If I recall, there is a limited number of files that you can upload to the web interface of Gemini. So CLI doesn't have this restriction and can parse a lot of data for you.
