Well, that's not good. That was a pretty handy site from the PNNL (DOE). No longer goes anywhere. Looks like a lot of it is on archive.org... but, still.

>>> Last update of WHOIS database: 2024-05-19T04:26:49Z <<<
Apparently all .tv domains registered through Sarek Oy (sarek.fi; or #Njalla, which uses them) are currently disabled by the .tv registry (turnon.tv / godaddy). No details are known and domain owners were not notified. This affects a few piracy sites, but also any other unrelated .tv domains, unfortunately including my jomo.tv domain. Piracy related .tv domains using a different registrar are not affected.
This touches on some tech that is of interest to me and probably some of who see this. I just don't know if this is that big a deal.
If anyone has more insight into the practical implications on #AWS customers or (#WHOIS) registries I'd be curious to hear about it.
"Starting June 2024, [AWS Certificate Manager] will no longer send domain validation emails by using WHOIS lookup for new email-validated certificates [...]"
Does anyone know of a cheap way to host a static website with a lot of images? Total size is in the gigabytes.
I was thinking something CDN or S3 style, the goal here is cheap.
I've previously[1] talked about how stupid #WHOIS is, and while #RDAP is an improvement, it's still really just a bunch of information bits based on (regional) convention.
A human can usually quickly identify e.g., the owning legal entity from inspection of of the data, but good luck doing that programmatically. It's infuriating.

Comme elle cite le cas axa.blog, je note que le registre du .blog a un serveur #whois qui, pour un domaine qui n'existe plus, donne la date de la suppression. C'est rare.
Today in admin news: A certain berlin club had the brilliant idea to automatically send out abuse notices whenever fail2ban notices unsuccessful login attempts in their IMAP logs. Our university chair just got their internet turned off because the uni's central IT got startled by a flood of abuse reports against our IP space. Guess what: Someone here who once held a now deleted mail account at the club still had it set up in their thunderbird, which dutifully tried to poll the inbox every 10min.
@fluepke@basisbit@jaseg Also said abuses don't just come from #GoDaddy but they certainly are the ones having #WHOIS records so one can at least get a proper #eMail to complain at the sender, as it's a #Spammer's responsibility to provide proof of consent to get "#Newsletters" and not the responsibility of non-consenting recievers to "unsubscribe" when they never subscribed at all...
Google has decided my IP address is in China, so google.com redirects to google.com.hk, has set the language is Chinese (I guess, but I can't read it), and what's worse, they've decided the YouTube music subscription I've paid for is no longer available because I somehow teleported 7000km northwest. The future is stupid.
@jonkloske is #Google that criminally incompetent to not re-check #WHOIS or did your IP adress changed and your ISP acquired some off-region?
Cuz AFAIK it's not legal within IANA to just take APNIC IP ranges and use them in ARIN territory as that would violate the RIRs reason to exist in the first place.
Any #InfoSec recommendations on an affordable #whois API or other #ruby ways to get informations about #domains?
For now getting the domain age would be enough.
