the mojang to minecraft.net transition, yeah. the minecraft.net to microsoft transition, no. https://youtu.be/rUFDRAEducI

if it's cheaper than the proxies they might switch!

you spend that extra million to keep customers satisfied in a competitive industry. they have users trading hundreds of thousands - if there's downtime and they lose money because they weren't able to sell their positions at the right time, they might even try to sue, who knows

then they'd have to moderate that dns server, and so your domains are no longer "unstoppable"...

They already moderate their resolver. Anyone is free to setup their own uncensored one if they want.

xyz is a dollar to register. how much lower can you go?

they're just as supported as jpegxl. oh, and you need to pay rent for them as well, even though their costs are even smaller.

this is also a scammer.

Yeah, I did not click on any links and knew the comment was written with AI

torrents don't have a required upload ratio though.

There are tracker ecosystems that enforce ratio, what.cd for example had developed a pretty advanced torrent economic rule set.

I know what you mean but it's not part of the protocol and I don't think you could enforce it on an internet scale

you joke but this is pretty much how hcaptcha handles this, no doctor needed though https://www.hcaptcha.com/accessibility

their target audience does not know what a "docker" is, much less wants to lease a server for hosting

You can teach someone how to rent a vps and run a docker image with one 10-minute youtube video. Then they can use the drag and drop editor and run the bot themselves. If they don’t want to pay for hosting that’s too bad. A vps to run a bot will cost a couple bucks a month.

*You can teach ~someone~ a very technical user how to …

I get the non-techie blindspot that all of us have in some form or another. With that in mind: it took three days to give my brother a crash course in Linux + Docker for his own home server (and even then he only knew the very basics). He’s fairly proficient in tech: builds his own desktops, knows the basics of code, doesn’t shy away from digging into the why, etc.

It would be unrealistic (and frankly irresponsible) to expect someone to setup _and understand_ a Docker server setup from a 10-minute video.

yes but also once you let that happen there will be thousands of discord servers holding tokens, with no security updates...

It's actually pretty hard to install Docker... Add Docker official GPG key... Install a bunch of crap...

Literally four commands that can be copypasted. https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/fedora/#install-using...

Look at Debian

It's in the repository, no?

I don't remember having trouble installing docker on debian.

You need to add their repository. It's way harder than it should be.

I'm 80% sure i use this one and it works for me https://packages.debian.org/trixie/docker.io

Still a single copy/paste...
