Very nice, I saw similar thing for parsing levels in an OpenGL tutorial. Similar thing could be stored in a 4 bit bmp file, too

I was wondering why does my Internet suddenly became so slow and broken today. I begin to suspect everything including the DNS server, but I happened to forget the proxy settings.
Until I realized that my Internet is still being proxied through some servers that is blocked. I sometimes hate the fact that the browsers Iāve installed all cannot read the systemās proxy settings somehow.
I really wanted to thank lazy.nvim that it is trying to force me to clone repos with HTTPS but not SSH (which works far better here in China). Now I pretty much believe that if thereās any reason for me to not use neovim, this could be it.

Is the crowdstrike outage over?
4 Likes
Fun fact: crowdstrike doesnāt operate in China. That outage didnāt really reach here in the first place ā so Iām certain that this shouldnāt be the culprit.
The reason, explained below, is that I forgot to turn off proxying, which is still desperately trying to reach some servers that was blocked every now and then unless with active mainteinance from the server operators.
If this is an irrelevant question, then unfortunately, I donāt know. What I know is that a lot of people blamed Microsoft for this because they want to blame Microsoft.

It seem Korea and China were least affect by this incident

Cloudstrike itself was only really ādownā for a few hours, the outage lasted a lot longer then that because all the client devices had to be restarted to pull the update (or told manually to by removing a driver file)

Every BT user in China: speedy download but no upload due to the firewalls
Me:
Now this is what I call justified 
Also I donāt know whether itās me or InfinityFree, because I often run into āInvalid 2FA codeā when my client says it still got 15 seconds

Happy annniversary to Dynadotās free .link for a year* offer! 
- I put a star because late realization that my .link domain is supposed to be expired as of few hours ago. The UniRegistry whois server is unreachable from CLI. So I checked on ICANN lookup, andā¦ What?!
I swear i didnāt assign any payment methods to Dynadot. But the expiry date extended, andautoRenewPeriodstatus?! @Frank419 yay (!)

autoRenewPeriod is just redemptionPeriod but itās better ā an autoRenewPeriod suggest that your domain expired, but the registry renewed the domain hoping that you would pay for it. It can go into redemptionPeriod or pendingDelete anytime the registrar want.
For some reason .link renewal is on sale on DynaDot. Renew it if you want, but itās definitely not a free offer anymore.

Not anytime because ICANN specs says that pendingDelete requires the domain to be in redemptionPeriod for 30+5 days.
If you say that dynadot can just put pendingDelete on a domain that has future expiration date and no redemptionPeriod, then dynadot violates the ICANN specs.

The official specs for autoRenewPeriod say:
This grace period is provided after a domain name registration period expires and is extended (renewed) automatically by the registry. If the registrar deletes the domain name during this period, the registry provides a credit to the registrar for the cost of the renewal.
So the registry, not Dynadot, automatically renewed the domain. This usually enables you to renew the domain name at no extra cost. If you donāt, then Dynadot can cancel and refund the automatic renewal, by which time domain will go into Redemption phase.
So the Registry Expiration Date is sometimes not correct and can show the domain is renewed when it technically isnāt.

It depends. For me it is usually ready within an hour, but can indeed sometimes takes longer.
BTW your eu.org got approved? Lucky you!

Yup, 2 hours later and the certās issued. Hereās the fun thing
Mastodon sees CloudFlare IP instead of my IP. That means if I ever logged out from my instance, mastodon will send me an email everytime I login because CF alternates between various IP ranges
