Happy to help! Welcome to Lemmy!
TLDW: A fungus called “white pine blister rust” can only pollinate in the presence of white pine trees and “ribes” (pronounced rye-bees), which is what currants and gooseberries are. The lumber was deemed far more valuable so in order to save it from the spread of the fungus, cultivation of ribes was outlawed and the US Government enacted a large scale eradication.
Thanks for the feedback. Glad you found it useful!
If you want to use your router as the update client, and it only supports DynDNS, then my guess would be you have to use DynDNS. But you don’t have to use your router as the update client. You can use something like ddclient that will work with just about any service. Or some services have their own update client. For example, you mentioned NoIP. It looks like they have an update client you can install on a computer, here: https://www.noip.com/download
Just make sure that the update client is up and running all the time. Otherwise your DNS record won’t get updated if/when your public IP changes.
