DNSSEC alone is not enough. You want DANE for certificate validation.

There were several groups present in Charlottesville. Some were Confederate apologists waving the Battle Flag; some were literal Nazis with swastika tattoos, armbands, and flags; some were identitarians marching under various names and banners; some were unaffiliated alt-right randos who just showed up for the heck of it. Most of them probably didn't give a shit about the statue.

No it's not, by any stretch of the imagination. That's like saying that the protestors in Charlottesville are “the same organization” as the original NSDAP (disbanded in 1945) or KKK (died out in the 1870s). Hell, they're not even an organization; they're just randos who coordinate on the Internet and label themselves as “antifas” because they think it sounds cool. IMO they're shitheads because they make it possible for Trump and his clique to legitimately deplore “violence on many sides” and wash their hands of the actions of their most ardent supporters.

I may be nit-picking, but “Nazi” is spelled with an initial capital rather than in all-caps. It is neither an acronym nor an initialism, but a derogatory term derived from an abbreviation of the actual name of the original Nazi party (“Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei” or NSDAP), just like “commie” is a derogatory term for communists. The original Nazis never referred to themselves as such, I'm not sure if modern (neo-)Nazis do.

Domain sharks routinely snatch up expired domains, for several reasons: first, to extort money from the previous owner if the expiry was unintentional; second, under the assumption that if someone took the trouble to register it, it has some sort of value and they might make a profit selling it to a third party; and third, to gain ad revenue from any existing links or search results that might point to the expired domain.

Note that some domain sharks will take a gamble and try to sell you a domain that resembles one you already own without buying it first, so they won't be out of pocket if you turn them down. The last time someone tried to pull that trick on me, I bought it myself and mocked them mercilessly.

The company that operates the national broadcasting network (Norkring, wholly owned by Telenor, where the Norwegian government owns 54% of the stock) will stop broadcasting FM. Local radio stations with their own transmitters can continue to transmit FM if they want.

DAB coverage in Norway is about as good as FM coverage. There are gaps in both networks, but not necessarily in the same places. So for every person that says “DAB sucks because I can't get a signal at my favorite fishing spot”, there's another that says “FM sucks because I can't get a signal at my favorite fishing spot on the other side of the same hill”.

As opposed to the US, where government does neither what you want nor what is best for you, but whatever the highest bidder pays them to do?

The negative public opinion of DAB in Norway is the result of a massive anti-DAB propaganda campaign orchestrated by a single man, Per Morten Hoff, who heads an ICT lobbying group. I don't know for sure what his motivation is. Perhaps he sees DAB as a competitor to streaming over the cellular network, which would benefit some of his constituents. Then again, Norway's larges cellular provider (Telenor) also owns and operates a significant portion of the national radio broadcasting network, and is a strong proponent of DAB.

Note that Norwegian radio stations—at least the ones I listen to—are in favor of DAB.

Remember Operation Blackout, when “Anonymous” was going to take down the DNS root servers? All they did was show the world that they have no idea how DNS works.

Don't use accented characters, or anything outside ASCII. You don't know how they will be encoded and transmitted.

(And don't say “UTF-8”, because a *shitload* of software still doesn't handle character encodings correctly. You can rely on your browser to do so, and maybe on the site's HTTP server, but you have no idea what sort of yahoo wrote the backend.)
