Combine UniFi API with dynamic DNS client

When did it become a thing for online login forms to initially display only an e-mail field and require an additional click for the password field to appear?

Specifically looking at you, #Porkbun and #Apple.

Did some configuration improvements in #pfSense and now I just have one certificate to cover all of my subdomains. It required a modification to a sh file because #Porkbun changed their API URL. But now it's all working and it should update the certificate automatically.

Just transferred 3 expiring-soon domains out of #Gandi to #Porkbun. Total cost for adding a year to all of them was $30 and change. Gandi wanted a few cents less than $40 to renew any one of those domains.

Why, yes, there *was* a private equity buyout and later resale of Gandi. How could you tell?

Anyone in the #technology sphere with knowledge about #DNS #domains and transfers with an idea what “PENDINGSUBMIT_BADDECONTACT” indicates?

I’m trying to transfer a .de Domain from IONOS/1&1 to #porkbun and it keeps failing there…

Auth code is correct and all.
#help appreciated!

Woohoo! I did a new thing!

I now have my own domain name: badnetmask.dev, registered with Porkbun. Soon I will be using it for all sorts of crazy things. Stay tuned!

In the mean time, you can check out this neat page with all my links. It has been deployed using a Little Link container, as an Azure Web App, automated using Terraform. Eventually I will blog about this adventure.

Welcome to my new "homepage"!

Update: domain unsuspended!

Porkbun took a dim view of the outcome apparently; overnight they went into bat for me while I slept and have now sorted it with XYZ! I have updated them with the responses from Spamhaus and are going to follow up on that as well. Honestly I am super impressed with Porkbun after this. Faith in (some of) humanity restored. Especially their staff member Steve.


TLDR: Be wary using XYZ owned domains

What a fucking debacle. I purchased a cheap .quest domain to run my xmpp server on for my family and a few close friends. It was on sale, was cheap and I grabbed it.
It lasted less than 24 hours before being suspended by the regsistrar.

Turns out, it ended up on a spamhaus list, and XYZ suspends domains automatically based on that. I have lodged tickets with each, but can't rectify because:
- Spamhaus issues can't be rectified because the domain is locked
- XYZ won't unsuspend because it is still on the Spamhaus blocklist

Chicken and egg. I have tickets with each, and with Porkbun which is where I started.
I get it. It's a fucking great scam to bleed money from spammers when they snap up cheap domains.

I just wanted one to self-host xmpp for my family though, and am now caught up in the loop sadly.

It is extremely unlikely I will purchase any other XYZ owned domains (there are a lot, and some fun ones sadly).

Spamhaus in itself isn't necessarily a bad thing; it is a great tool. But automatically flagging everything listed by it in your registrar? Yeah nah fuck that. XYZ using external blocklists where everything is automatically opted in with no practical recourse is a terrible idea. The same goes for domains, fedi, whatever. There is always collateral damage and it sours it for everyone. It is just a stupid.

@Daojoan @SpaceLifeForm Really enjoying my #proton stuff for my business. I won't think on the guranteed security _too_ hard, but I know MANY of the boys at #porkbun and they don't stamp their approval on nothin' unless it works as advertised. Got Proton Drive setup with rclone too!

#porkbun has #email with @protonprivacy, really affordably. So I switched my business mail to that, and I have it all setup in #emacs! :D @daviwil is a goddamned treasure. I would not be able to setup my workflow this well without Systems Crafters! I'm happy! I feel so #secure and #cozy, and I can do #gpg for a little extra. Just don't let crazy Christians on my e-mail chains. I don't want to pull a Hegseth.

“No Refunds / No Exceptions” is such a nice way to start a routine email about upcoming domain renewals #porkbun

Can’t wait for the 7-days until renewal email, maybe they’ll threaten me with a stick or say unsavoury things about my mother?

I'm curious to hear what others are #SelfHosting! Here's my current setup:

Hardware & OS

Infrastructure & Networking

Security & Monitoring

Authentication & Identity Management

  • Authelia (Docker): Just set this up for two-factor authentication and single sign-on. Seems to be working well so far!
  • LLDAP (Docker): Lightweight LDAP server for managing authentication. Also seems to be working pretty well!
    #AuthenticationTools #IdentityManagement

Productivity & Personal Tools

Notifications & Development Workflow

  • Notifications via: #Ntfy (Docker) and Zoho's ZeptoMail (#Zoho)
  • Development Environment: Mostly using VSCode connected to my server via Remote-SSH extension. #VSCodeRemote

Accessibility Focus ♿️🖥️

Accessibility heavily influences my choices—I use a screen reader full-time (#ScreenReader), so I prioritize services usable without sight (#InclusiveDesign#DigitalAccessibility). Always open to discussing accessibility experiences or recommendations!

I've also experimented with:

  • Ollama (#Ollama): Not enough RAM on my Pi.
  • Habit trackers like Beaver Habit Tracker (#HabitTracking): Accessibility issues made it unusable for me.

I don't really have a media collection, so no Plex or Jellyfin here (#MediaServer)—but I'm always open to suggestions! I've gotten a bit addicted to exploring new self-hosted services! 😄

What's your setup like? Any cool services you'd recommend I try?

I wonder how long #porkbun has had their "BIND Zone File - BETA" import option. I wish I had noticed it on my last transfer to them (I looked). Adding all the records one by one was a drag. Nice and fast on this last one.
I'm still very bitter about how #gandi went from being one of the coolest registrars out there to a pile of poop.

#Porkbun is partnering up with #Proton

porkbun.com/products/proton_ma

This is a bad decision from Porkbun, as they choose to associate themselves with a toxic brand.

I guess it's only a matter of time before they come out in full support of deporting people or something. And I'll have to change yet another provider.

That's the first link that my PiHole caught tracking in that I wasn't expecting.

🤡 In a stunning that nobody asked for, and Proton Mail unite like peanut butter and... pork? 🍖🔒 Because nothing screams "state-of-the-art security" quite like a domain registrar named after a sandwich. 🥪✉️ Meanwhile, the internet collectively yawns and continues to not read their email. 📧😴

Well looks like #Porkbun can’t be recommended anymore if they’re partnering with #protonmail
