Howdy! 👋
I’m level 27 web dev from 🇫🇮 Finland. Full stack developer by trade but more into server side and sysadmin stuff.
A furry or something. Why be yourself when you can be fluffy raccoon on the internet?
I’m also on Mastodon: @jakeRaccoon@mastodon.social
I’ve been using No-IP free plan for years without issues. Inputted the credentials to my routers DDNS client and then basically forgot about it. Free users need to confirm their account once a month via email but that’s just one click.
If your domain registrar happens to have an API to update DNS entries, you could implement DDNS yourself by writing a simple automated script to check the external IP (e.g. via ipify.org) and if it’s changed from the last check then call the API to update the DNS entries.
It’s still unclear if he’s allowed to use the logo and such. The national broadcaster Yle (which itself has a strict policy against advertising) allowed it in the national show and argued that (quote) “Windows 95 is no longer a protected trademark today. The product is hardly used by anyone anymore. Thus the name and the costume are allowed”
But EBU might have a different stance ofc
Lots of great recommendations in this thread. One I use and didn’t see mentioned yet is StreetPass. It automatically saves any Mastodon rel="me"
verification links you come across while browsing. I’ve found it very useful for finding interesting accounts to follow
Sure. I’m not recommending anything, just stating what has worked for me. For simple use cases, I think most of the DDNS services are pretty much the same anyway and it’s easy to switch to an another one if one stops working for some reason.
