  • Cool. I am currently using the OVH dyndns option and it is a bit annoying that you have to update each sub-domain individually and can’t just tell OVH to update all subdomains to the same new IP via a wildcard.

    Is that something your script could do?

    Also it seems like the OVH dyndns API currently only does either IPv4 or IPv6 but not both the same time.

    Edit: Ah I see you plan to allow creating sub-domains through it. I guess that would indirectly solve my issue as well.


  • Well, the post election analysis is clear. Harris lost because the Democrats couldn’t mobilize voters that wouldn’t vote for Trump either.

    So there is clearly a large number of potential voters that are not so stupid as to vote for Trump but felt the Democrats wouldn’t make their lives better in any way either, and just voting for the lesser evil seems to have been not enough motivation for them.

    Many of these people did vote for Biden in 2020 however (around 10 million more), so the question is what was different back then? Surely Biden was not the better candidate (assuming mysogynists and racist voted for Trump anyways).

    To some extent I suspect it was the misshanding of the initial Covid19 response by the first Trump administration that got some people to vote for Biden, but I suspect the bigger reason was that Biden did signal to take the Black Lives Matter protests serious, while Harris did the opposite and tried to appeal to moderate white conservatives (likely falsely assuming her racial identity would be sufficient to mobilize the non-white voters anyways).

    Edit: before someone comes and accuses me of blaming non-white people for the election loss: no, I think these people correctly assume the government will be hostile to them regardless of who of the two large parties wins and are too busy trying to get along with their lives to bother voting.
