It is doable to install an OS onto a flash drive or external drive, but from my experience it was really slow. Just need to make sure to then boot the machine to the USB device. Some machines you might find it difficult to change that in the BIOS.

Could you see anything…? All kbin.social items being blocked, not just the content?

I recently switched to Fedora to help get into the Arch based Linux realm. Historically been on Debian based distros. You can’t go wrong with many of the “mainstream” distributions as your first intro to Linux. If you come across any issues ask away and that it a how you’ll learn more about how Linux works, Arch, etc with your hardware too.

Ubuntu is already looking to All-Snap Ubuntu Desktop Will Be Available Next Year

Saw on on mastodon you have the vote options and it was shared on kbin. Wonder how all the votes will get tallied…?

You pay for the transfer basically and keep the current registration time + 1 year. But ICANN only allows transfers within certain time windows of age of the domain, before/after registration, and such as well… but could be easier now to get out of Google and locked into a mess later.

I use namecheap for the registration and Cloudflare for the DNS. Pretty easy setup and support as well. The SSL is great as I get a free SSL wildcard and can use that for other origin and edge certificates as well.

That does present a poor user experience, but also seems like a quick decision too.

Transferring domains on your own is a process…. Wonder how much harder it will be moving registration and user accounts, dns, Whois, name servers, etc. hopefully it’s easier for the users too and don’t get stuck in migration limbo.

@PaleBlueDot with kbin having Cloudflare ddos enabled, with the overflow of new users, that is what is breaking federation now.

Could this be edited to be links for users?
