Suddenly irrationally mad that IPv4 addresses cap out at 255 so I can't use "obvious" dummy/example IPs of, say, 100.100.69.420

new computer.rip has a feature where I can put in a tag that gets auto-replaced with a "please support me on ko-fi" beg. I can even update it and regenerate the old articles. this is very convenient to me which is why I never remember to use it.

This can be a major trigger for people with eating disorders. Plus it’s none of your business. Thanks!

Every web nerd I know seems to be looking for a new domain registrar because whatever everyone's used for 10-20 years was likely bought up by private equity firms so they tripled their prices while slashing features.
Are there any ethical companies still doing cheap reliable domain hosting?
