I spent far too long looking at properties on that site before remembering that I don’t even live on the same continent as those properties.

Cat.

Is that why I couldn’t figure out what was messed up at first? Same strain apparently…

You’re correct. Unless you’re using WiFi on your phone that’s backed by satellite internet (Starlink, etc).

I have “good” and was offered 9% in early October.

One good sign is that banks are lowering their rates for longer term CDs. I’m seeing 1 year CDs in the 6% range, but a 5 year CD is more like 2%-3%. This means that the banks expect the fed to lower rates in the next few years.

So is the urn!

freedom to customize the shell

This is always the issue for me – I ssh into several machines for various clients every day. All of those clients have one thing in common: equally strict and inconsistent policies about what packages you can use from where and for what reason. “I like this shell better” would never fly, sadly.

Unfortunately, GDPR doesn’t prevent such things. It just punishes violators (if they get caught).

I’m planning to switch to Cloudflare Registrar. I already use some of their other services so it makes sense, and their pricing is pretty great.
