  • Same. I have a router with OPNsense. In the “Dynamic DNS” section I create a “Custom” service with the DynDNS2 protocol. I type in update.dedyn.io as the server address. You need to also get an api key from the desec.io web panel that you input into the username and password fields.

    Now everytime the router’s WAN ip changes it automatically edits the DNS zone. So instead of going “your server -> DDNS provider -> DNS CNAME record” it’s just “your server -> DNS A record”

    I also have a separate token for my web proxy (traefik) so that it can edit the DNS records to get let’s encrypt certificates through dns challenge as you describe.

    As for the desec signups in my case one DNS zone was no problem, but for a second one I needed to e-mail them:

    Hello, would it be possible for my newly created account to get one more domain on the account please? I have two personal domains and it would be great if I could keep them both under deSEC

    Hi [me], Sure! The limit is mostly there to remind users to enable DNSSEC, but it looks like you’re already doing that (at your old provider).

    They asked me to (voluntarily) donate, which I did too.












  • I wanted something that’s more difficult to consume media on. Something that is less conductive to feeding some guy’s advertising empire. The cloud apps are interesting to me not because of YouTube, but because of maps and public transport schedules. That way, it’d be closer to my main-main phone, rather than falling back to the smartphone for some apps.

    E-ink smartphones like Mudita Kompakt seem pretty interesting, as the e-ink probably makes certain media unusable.

    Whatsapp is somewhat optional for me as my friends don’t use it, but I know it’s important to other people. It would be important to me if I went outside the EU, though.

    There’s also something about escaping Android.




  • buy the cheapest smartphone from alibaba

    These feature phones are aimed at people living in countries who don’t have this privilege. If all I could afford is a 20 EUR phone I’d be pretty happy with having the cloud apps that I normally couldn’t be able to use. I’m sure that the executives at HMD don’t ask themselves “are we not violating the definition of the dumbphone?”, they’re trying to make their product attractive to sell the most units. And apparently the ability to watch YT or check cricket scores (the cloud apps), and in the future maybe WhatsApp, are just that.

    Though yeah, my post is more about feature phones, not real dumbphones as I originally wrote in the title.

    also, how does it even run a web browser when the whole device has just 128 MB RAM. will the device crash if I load up facebook. com?

    The heavy lifting is offloaded to the servers (“cloud”), I think. The data you receive is how to draw the elements in the remote browser.







  • I agree with the person you’re replying to in the sense that Linus’s decision is OK, but the delivery could be less “idiotic”. This could be a different message entirely. Even a cold “Yes we have some things happening. Can’t tell more for now” would’ve been fine.

    I’m Finnish. Did you think I’d be supporting Russian aggression?

    Where did that come from? Sir this is a kernel mailing list. Why the nationality chest beating? I’m Polish and I have a smirk all day on November 4 but it’s just so childish from Linus.
