This doesn't work like a Sort type, but more like a Limit type. I would expect it to sort by time.

Yes, that's basically exactly how it works. It's supposed to show you “the top posts in the last hour”, so I think sorting by score does make sense here.

(In fact, the time range is actually being separated from the “top” sort type in lemmy 1.0.0, so it should be more intuitive then. There'll just be a “top” sort order, alongside a filter for post time.)

It doesn't work on "Overview" or "Comments", only if I limit to "Posts". So yes, it works on posts, but only if no comments are involved by overview.

Yup. That part definitely looks like a bug.

    The good thing about it is that all PHP applications run through a single service (unless you use containers for each of them individually, I guess), so it's really easy to take them all down at the same time, and update them all at once.

    As nice as DANE is, it just shifts the burden of trust to your DNS provider. Like if you hop on Wi-Fi at a coffee shop, said network can simply MITM connections and supply their own certs via re-writing the DNS.

    It can't, because DANE requires the use of DNSSEC. Unfortunately, there are still so many domains that do not have a proper DNSSEC configuration… so it's unlikely to work out well in practice, anyway.

    edit: not to mention the DNS is centralized too. It's federated, at least (in the original sense of the word, not the way it is used on the fediverse), but ICANN is still the only central authority at the end.

    They should fix their broken resolvers then, that's not for me to work around. I don't think it's actually a big problem in practice though, because

    1. my primary nameserver is actually fairly reliable, and
    2. it looks like the nameservers in the NS query are in a randomized order (until the response is cached, of course)

    That's fair. Though you should consider that it's really easy to set up secondary nameservers as a mirror (ns-global, for example, offers such a service). So your own reliability matters less in the end.

    On the other hand, Cloudflare is kind of becoming the internet with all the centralization.

    Yup. That's the main reason I avoid using them.

    deciding whom to choose for nameservers

    This is tangential to your actual question, but why not host your own? I've had good experiences with self-hosting an authoritative nameserver for my domains. I personally use BIND (named), but I know someone who does the same with nsd and that also works very well.

    edit: actually, might as well add the reasoning behind my choice of TLD, since it's pretty simple. It's a .de domain because I'm in Germany :)

    Last season you could buy button presses for your whole team, so we all ended up with heaps.

    The consul could buy one button press for each member of their house for 50 influence. That was a big reason why we organised that plan to rotate the seat between houses, so everyone could have enough to keep the button going. Guess it didn't really work out as we hoped 😅
