The #dot #io #domain name is about to get a massive #price #increase https://www.gandi.net/en-US/domain/tld/i.. Ouch. And this is why I didn't jump on that #bandwagon !
Wow, an #official #uk #transport #domain for quite a while pointed towards #porn https://thecrow.uk/A-Gov.uk-site-dedicat.. You can see the #nsfw #website #archived here: https://web.archive.org/web/202111251549.. Pretty amazing that this was even possible.
Damn, I just found out that my old #domain #registrar was taken over by #godaddy - quite a #hostile and #political #domianname #provider https://www.wordfence.com/blog/2021/11/g.. Apparently their #wordpress has been #hacked ... The #passwords were #stored in #plaintext "or a format that could be made into plaintext" - damn. And this is why I write my own shit.
Hmm, the #signal #client is randomly sending off #requests to a random #eu #domain for #tracking https://community.signalusers.org/t/euro.. Highly suspect.
Interesting to see #cloudflare releasing a #filtered #dns #domain #lookup #service - I hope this does not become the #default https://blog.cloudflare.com/introducing-..
Interesting, an old #kicad #domain has been #sold to some person who may have #malicious intent: https://forum.kicad.info/t/warning-avoid..
The #eu are actively trying to #doxx #anonymous #publications and #leaks through the use of abusing #domain #registrars ... https://www.theregister.com/2021/10/15/e.. People all clapped when they rolled out #gdpr - but this was just to test whether it would be possible to #enforce blanket #policy on the rest of the world... We really should push back on this.
Just a #reminder that #sorting can be super easy (in terms of #algorithm #complexity ): https://arxiv.org/abs/2110.01111 Of course, it's not that #efficient ... But there could be a lot of #opportunity to run it in #parallel or make #domain specific #shortcuts ... As the #hackernews #comments point out, it's been #discovered many times before: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=287.. Could be really fun to take a look at this at a later date!
Looks like there has been a pretty big #hack on #epik - a #domain #registrar https://4chan.partyvan.epikfail.win:5589.. It appears it was performed #politicly on the basis of anti- #fascism - which is kind of weird... There seems to be a lot of #leftwing hacks going on recently, there was #parler and #ddossecrets , as well as a few others. Weird.
A very long #domain http://a.b.c.d.e.f.g.h.i.j.k.l.m.n.oo.pp.. Luckily I can still post it here - just about! These exercises on pushing limits help find #bugs - such as #letsencrypt only supporting 64 character domains!
Cool project by the #xyz #domain https://aydacfu.xyz/downloads/1111B_Whit.. I really think a $1 per year #url is a great project, especially for unwanted #digit based names. This really opens up some doors for some interesting projects!
I'm pretty sure I have actually come across the #freenom #freedomain #scam before many years ago: https://daniel.is-a.dev/blog/freenom-the.. When the website starts earning money or generating traffic, they steal the #domain back. Pretty shitty. These days I don't really believe a domain is all that important. If your content is good, people will come back for it.
Ouch, an old #domain that wasn't #nenewed for a #video #host #service was purchased by a #porn host and all the old #embeds now server porn: https://www.theverge.com/2021/7/22/22589.. It does hint towards us needing a better solution to #longterm content, or at least some kind of method to ensure the #embed was created by the person we believe it was!
Ouch, seems like #freenode and #redirecting a #libera looking #domain name to their #irc network: https://fedi.absturztau.be/notice/A99J6E..
