That's exactly what it should be then. A copyright notice lists the year of publication. Not the current year.

> A proper copyright notice consists of three elements: a © symbol, the year of publication, and the copyright owner’s name.

1) You don't have to keep copyrights up to date (and in fact you don't have to put them at all), 2) Every single startup i've seen on HN is sketchy af. Racking laptops in a cage at a Hetzner DC is probably the least sketchy product i've seen here.

And honestly, not a terrible idea, I have old laptops that would work as a VPS. $7/month for somebody to host a public server for me, and not on my crappy residential isp? All I have to lose is an old laptop I haven't touched in 5 years? Sign me up

(they do need a real domain before i'll give them money tho, lol)

The premise was kinda dumb, wouldn't be surprised if its just a scam.

There's no way to read this without hearing Scottish accent. It's like a sleeper agent activation phrase.

Can you explain how a copyright can be "out of date by two years"?

I always thought the copyright notice should reflect the year of creation, and that it's actually bad (from a legal POV) to always show the current year through scripting.

It's fixed now.

And someone bought the .com domain: https://crt.sh/?id=25447880244

What if it’s a compute Ponzi scheme?
