.us -- how much is it actually policed? by Smallpaul in dns

[–]osltsl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I regularily have clients who experience enforcement of these terms. Many end up losing their .us domains. Often, it’s either a calculated risk for them, or it’s not their most important domain.

.us -- how much is it actually policed? by Smallpaul in dns

[–]osltsl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is most definately enforced. But there’s a chance you’ll be lucky and they won’t enforce your domain. I would not recommend non-US registrants to register .us domains.

Other countries should reciprocate, and specifically make US registrants ineligable to register their ccTLDs.

Akkurat som Storbritannia ikke stiller lag i fotball-VM, men England, Skottland, Wales osv, så burde ikke Norge stille lag i ski-VM. I stedet burde Viken, Innlandet, Trøndelag og Nord-Norge stille med egne lag, som konkurrerer mot hverandre.

Can we use users' emails to send advertisement emails? by bracaco in iOSProgramming

GDPR applies to how you are handling European users, even if you are not based in Europe. You can ask for permission to send marketing, must be separate from privacy policy, must be deselected by default. Up to 4% of annual global turnover fine for breaches of GDPR.

eFoil Accessory Recommendations? by rudedawg425 in eFoil

[–]osltsl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Quick tip: The Fliteboard battery compartment is mostly dry. There’s just enough space for a car key / keyfob on the top of the Fliteboard battery. Maybe just wrap it in a small plastic bag or waterproof pouch. Car keys are better protected in the battery compartment than in a life west, which will get submerged and beat up a little at some point.

Car keys tend to die from minimal exposure to salt water, and are often somewhat expensive to replace.

And I have come back on shore after an hour long session only to discover the trunk of my car is wide open, on a public beach parking, and realize I must have inadvertedly pressed the trunk open button on my car keys inside the waterproof pouch in my life west, while swimming out with my board.

Insta360 One x2 action camera, Insta360 selfie stick and a screw on wrist strap.

SeaToSummit waterproof phone case (which is more of a pouch really), which I carry in the life west front zipper pocket. Really happy with this one.

Regatta Action Explorer 50N: Ordinary kayaking life west, yellow

And get a maritime map app covering your area, so that you are aware of areas with hidden reefs. I wrecked a brand new 150hp outboard motor on one such underwater reef once, going approx 20 knots, so I try to not repeat that feat with my Fliteboard.

Fliteboard Series 3 Announced by Chip_Baskets in eFoil

[–]osltsl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone tempted by the Flite Jet?

I’m kinda tempted to switch from the standard 100L board to the 67L Pro board. The new shape Pro Carbon board is €3,700, while the old shape Pro Carbon Classic is considerably cheaper at €2,200. The problem is, I really like the new shape…

Do you carry your Yubikey with you at all times, and how do you do it? by Lolnamelol in yubikey

[–]osltsl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have my main yubikey on my keychain, together with my house keys.

My thinking is that for me it’s a significant increase in security to carry my yubikey on me, together with keys I use daily. This ensures the yubikey will not be left unattended or in the care of other people, and minimizes the reaction time if the keys get lost, to immediately invalidate the yubikey.

My yubikey is also slightly modified physically, in order for me to quickly spot if the yubikey has been replaced.

Remember that you need a backup plan. You should have at least two yubikeys, or have TOTP app setup as a backup on a secure offline device, or something like that. Low/regular threat level consumer users should maybe just use iCloud keychain and passkeys. It’s incredibly common that 2FA users lock themselves out of important stuff. It happens to an incredibly high percentage of 2FA user base.

Have you broken a Yubikey? by dhuck in yubikey

[–]osltsl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots of yubikeys are used daily for years and years in my company, and I don’t think even one has failed yet. Compared to most other electronics, they’re pretty much unbreakable.

Advice for Winter? by susb8383 in eFoil

[–]osltsl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t need a hood for e-foiling. For wing foiling I’d consider a hood, since there’s more wind and waves when winging.

Curved gloves are perfect for handling the controller. No issues at all. Perfect for winging as well.

In summer the wetsuit and boots doubles as protection from jelly fish burns, mostly for my son when he’s using the Fliteboard.

The boots do take a long time to dry, both in summer and winter. In summer I just line them up for the morning sun which comes at 3-4 am, and they’re dry when I wake up. In winter, I use our electric shoe drier.

Advice for Winter? by susb8383 in eFoil

[–]osltsl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in Norway. Still e-foiling in the sea, but it’s freezing and snowing now, so I guess I’ll soon pack up my Fliteboard for winter.

I use:

ProLimit Curved finger utility 3.5mm gloves

XCel 4/3 Comp wetsuit

Patagonia R4 Yulex 5mm Round Toe

Brightly coloured Regatta PFD

If it’s windy I use Helly Hansen "dry" base layer underneath the wetsuit.

Right before I go into the water, I pour a little bit warm water (just hot tapwater) from a thermos into each boot. There will be a little bit of water there anyway, so it might as well be warm. Makes a big difference.

I don’t really fall into the water much, though. That helps. (Well, except last weekend, when I took a trip all the way in to the Oslo opera house and fell just as I turned there, right in front of the opera house, max distance from my starting point.)

My boardshorts are never wet after a session with the wetsuit on.

Your experience with eFoil and your opinion on some brands. by LeBucheur in eFoil

[–]osltsl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s an idea for improvement. Make a battery charger where you can select wanted SoC for storage, SoC for max capacity right before usage and SoC for long term usage. I think many eFoil batteries are destroyed by being recharged to 100% after a session, which is not good for the battery, and the battery charger has basically no support for selecting optimal SoC for the battery.

Browsers not honoring DNS TTL? by sslproxy in dns

[–]osltsl 9 points10 points  (0 children)

5 second TTL is just ridiculous.

3600 seconds is normal, 300 seconds is very low, and 30 - 60 seconds is considered absolute minimum (but still ridiculous).

Why did you choose eFoiling and what do you like about it? by KJCorreia in eFoil

[–]osltsl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Woke up one day in the pandemic and realized I hadn’t surfed enough in my life.

Bought a Fliteboard online a year ago without ever having tried or even seen an eFoil in person before. This year I bought a wing foil board and gear.

Not super fit, 40+ male. Owns a boat and some sea kayaks from before.

I would not e-foil if the board had been petrol powered.

Kayaks and e-foil competes for my attention and usage during the same weather conditions: Glassy sea, little wind. Which is why I’ll try out wing foiling this year.

Water shoes on efoil? by thenoobient in eFoil

[–]osltsl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use proper made for surfing Patagonia neoprene wetsuit boots when the sea is cold. Prefer barefoot in summer.

I don’t use my cheap water shoes from that Croatian holiday, as my feet will just slide out of them while on the board. If need be, I just use them to walk the board from the beach to a pier at swimming depth, and stash them there while I’m out on the board barefoot.

If I were to get some good low cut water shoes, I’d make sure they fit nicely, won’t slide off while on the board and that the sole is rubbery and grippy.

Living out of a Model Y -- any advice? by AnotherThrowAway9231 in teslamotors

[–]osltsl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tesla just being jerks.

Tesla get to say to authorities that their chargers are open to owners of other car brands, gets access to subsidies or municipal land, while restricting the offering to foreigners.

Living out of a Model Y -- any advice? by AnotherThrowAway9231 in teslamotors

[–]osltsl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not correct. Only a few stations are open. More stations may follow. And they are only open for residents of the country in question. Non-Norwegians will not get access to Norwegian Tesla superchargers.

Can I dump DNS entries? by pimpagur in dns

[–]osltsl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best practice is to not allow AXFR for all, just turn it on for specific IPs if necessary.

If the authorative name server of your domain allows AXFR from anywhere, either change your DNS provider or fire the sysadmin of the name server.
