  • I agree with what you’re saying but to credit them, they’re offering to a bit beyond that.

    Reduce strain on the grid. We’re investing in curtailment systems that cut our data centers’ power usage during periods of peak demand, as well as grid optimization tools, both of which help keep prices lower for ratepayers.

    As much as I hate them, I think this decent from them - I only wish it was the government and the electricity providers which did this, but I bet if they were doing it, it’d be people’s power being turned off…

    The cli has one other benefit which I think is rarely recognised: it’s pretty easy to tell someone you need to run “xyz -a -b -c” (bringing the safety risk with it to be fair), but it gets a lot harder to be like “so in the top left there is a cog button that opens a panel on the right where you’re looking for the 2nd tab and there’ll be a checkbox”.

    The things I appreciate even more than a good gui are programs with a good gui and a cli.


  • I can’t say I know the answer but a few ideas:

    • did you access it with a browser? Maybe it snitches on you or some extension does?
    • did you try to resolve it with a public DNS server at any point (are you sure nothing forwarded the request to one)?

    You could try it again, create the domain in the config and then do absolutely nothing. Don’t try to confirm it works in any way. If you don’t see the same behaviour you can do one of the above and then the other and see when it kicks in. If it gets picked up without you doing anything…then pass!
