I had a similar issue with my Apple Watch a couple weeks back. It would randomly input touches without me interacting with the display at all.

I restarted it and the issue was gone - I doubt there was any hacking involved.

I usually just test for the presence of @ - that’s it. Works for IDN addresses as well.

I remember some story back in the day where someone had an email address using the top level to domain only. Like “x@to”, pretty cool but probably a pain to use (:

Write plain HTML, nothing else.

However, you still need to ensure the domain and hosting provider are paid to deliver their services.

Even if you add a credit card and enable auto-renew, the credit card will expire long before 30 years are over.

I moved to a $5 DigitalOcean droplet running Dokku (dokku.com).

To answer your questions:

1) 2 hours for 8 apps — most work was setup of new DNS and testing

2) I have very litte experience in DevOps

3) I think its totally worth it for the additional flexibility and the super cheap cost

4) Just $5 - can’t beat that

5) 8 Ruby Sinatra sites w/ a total of 20k hits/month
