• Any domain can be put on serverHold or redirected, and recently that has happened on autistici.org without even a court order. Seems to me like “owning” a domain the usual way offers no additional guarantees or benefit

• Isn’t every registrar “just renting” domains? What is the pragmatic difference between regular registrars and “proxy” ones from the perspective of a registrant?

• As far as I know technically you never own a domain, it’s a delegation. You might be right that they do some legal maneuvering to avoid having to collect technically required contact details, but the end result is that they do not have any info to give away even if the legal protection layer “fails”.

• Pretty much the only step is picking a device - do you just want a little stick for testing or making a repeating station, or would you rather have a more standalone device with a big (relatively) screen and maybe a keyboard? Do you want/need GPS? Consider how you’re going to power it - pro tip, discarded “single use” vapes are a great source of small rechargeable LiPos.

  Both Heltec and LilyGo are good choices with regards to reliability and compatibility. Go on their websites and get an idea of what’s out there, then pick one and you’ll be up and meshing the same day you receive it!

  The bigger part of this story, to me, is how everything (notably the DNS serverHold and termination of their bank account) happened without any judicial involvement. No court or judge ordered PIR or Banca Etica to act, yet they did, on nothing more than their inclusion on that list - and very earnestly, as its deadline was the 25th of September. There is nothing that could prevent the same happening to any service

• HTTP headers or headers in general? For the former I suggest Burp Suite to inspect and manipulate headers to see how things change, for the latter tcpdump/wireshark, to supplement your theory reading :)

  on I can definitely maybe do this! in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev · 26 Aug 2026

• Of course not, but I’ve found that seeing the protocols in action and looking at real headers can be very helpful in making them click. Understanding DHCP or ARP or mDNS or BGP or whatever is much easier by inspecting a pcap than it is by reading RFCs

  on I can definitely maybe do this! in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev · 26 Aug 2026

• Yes, but before I used it I assumed that its scope was pretty much limited to what you just mentioned. Instead it can operate on most protocols both above and below layer 4, and it is incredibly useful as a traffic capture tool to produce a .pcap on a remote headless machine which you can then load into Wireshark. The “dump” part is the interesting one, not the “tcp” ;)

  on I can definitely maybe do this! in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev · 26 Aug 2026
