  • I think most people that traditionally used iTunes didn’t keep other copies somewhere else, since it was meant to be the music manager for all music, so if it screws up their library they lose their files.

    The uploading and syncing local files was (is) already a feature of iTunes Match. Apple Music just expands it to allow it for music they don’t own, however people have had it take their files and relabel them as Apple Music files and then lock them out if they cancel their subscription.

    The downside is combining my local music management with their streaming service, I’d rather they were entirely separate with the option of playing local files, as Spotify does. The option to upload files would be fine.





  • Reserved TLDs are documented. The issue is they prioritized all the crazy ones before they added what people at home and businesses were actually using. ICANN won’t sell .lan because it is used too much. They haven’t tried so there is no official decision, but they won’t - they did try .corp and .home and abandoned it.

    .local is reserved in RFC 6762, but for multicast DNS.

    It’s such a shitty situation. ICANN is not going to sell .home or .corp as they found a crapton of traffic when they checked for it, but IETF never finished an RFC for them - however people easily stumble into the draft RFC that lists what they were thinking of, and assume stuff like .lan is good to go too. They’re safe by ICANN policy, but unsanctioned.

    .home.arpa is safe, per RFC, but user unfriendly to normal people. There are a few others but none a corporation would realistically use. I’ve used . internal for lab testing stuff for ages, so this is extra good news for me I guess.

    Really I wish they’d have just reserved the most common ones rather than getting caught in some bureaucratic black hole.




  • Milquetoast? I don’t think I described that at all. By strong support I am talking about supporting a party that somehow “most closely aligns”, not strong political opinions of which I have many. If they were more closely aligned it would be some third party candidate, generally.

    To put it simply, I don’t really do fandoms. It doesn’t mean I don’t have preferences or strong feelings about things, but I’m less likely to be part of some group about it.
