The demise of the queer.af domain (that just happened to follow a conversation I had with my wife on the weekend, who wanted a new domain name for a new business she wants to set up) made me write up some thoughts on Domain Names:
It's pathetic that the domain name for X is STILL called 'twitter'. It's very unlikely that Musk would be able to claim a domain name that's simply named 'X'
I'm considering creating another personal #website, but for more formal things like writing articles and programming updates, as opposed to the usual #blog stuff I have on my #Neocities site. It'll also have a simpler design, optimised more for reading than having a fun appearance.
I'll most likely buy a domain from #Namecheap; but Neocities requires a subscription in order to use a custom #domain, so does anyone have any suggestions for cheap or free web #hosting that I could use?
Hi Schwarmintelligenz, ich bräuchte mal euer geballtes Fachwissen.
Folgendes ist gegeben:
Domain ist bei Anbieter A
VPS ist bei selben Anbieter A gemietet und die Domain zeigt auf diesen VPS
Folgendes "Problem" soll gelöst werden: Auf dem VPS soll kein Mailserver installiert werden, trotzdem sollen aber für bzw. über die Domain Mails verschickt werden. Zum Bleistift für Registrierungsmails im Forum, Mails bei vorliegenden Antworten u.s.w.
Mein erster Gedanke war, für die Mails und der Domain mailbox.org verwenden. Allerdings funktioniert so ja nur der Empfang, allerdings kein Versand, da ja kein nutzbarer SMTP für die Domain verfügbar ist.
Zweiter Gedanke ist, bei demselben Anbieter ein kleines Webhosting Paket, das Mails beinhaltet, mieten und darüber dann die Mails verschicken.
Habt ihr andere/bessere Ideen oder Gedanken? Immer raus damit. 😉
This is something I want to try again. Now I’m back writing in a blog I kinda think about alternatives. This solution seems really good at a few levels. What do you think @maique ? Maybe I will move back to Wordpress. I don’t feel tied to any one solution and I want away from the choices like write.as and micro.blog.
Hi all. Hope everyone is doing well. It's about to be 3:00 AM here, and I'm about to get some sleep, but before I do, I wanted to ask for #advice from those who might know more about #technology, creating #websites, and #accessibility than I do. My mom runs a #construction#business and has a website she designed herself with drag and drop on #GoDaddy. She owns the #domain it's on and wants to move the site for a few reasons: it keeps getting hacked and she's getting a lot of spam and scam messages, customer service is poor, and GoDaddy isn't very #accessible with #ScreenReaders, so I can't help her manage her website at all. I've done some research and seen that other recommended no-code website builders are #Wix, #Squarespace, and #Weebly, but I can't find a lot of information on their accessibility. I've seen posts on #Reddit recommending hiring someone to design your website, but we don't know anyone who could do that, and our budget probably wouldn't be high enough. My mom isn't great with #tech and really needs a no-code solution. Does anyone know about the accessibility of website builders like the ones I mentioned, or can you suggest another one that might work? Thanks. #blind@mastoblind
What’s in a #domain name? From .ai to .vc, inside the weird and lucrative marketplace of #website addresses https://restofworld.org/2023/whats-in-a-domain-name/
“Cate estimates the revenue generated by Anguilla’s .ai domain — around $3 million per month — currently accounts for around a third of the government’s monthly budget”
If anyone wonders why nitter.net stopped working, it's due to Njalla domain provider suspending dev's account... after someone made a complaint about nudity images. More absurdly, links are from other instance: nitter.it https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/issues/1150
At best, this is extremely shortsighted and premature decision by Njalla because Nitter is simply Twitter's frontend. At worst, it's a deliberate attempt to pressure on Nitter devs once again
Ich werde der ein oder andere Person einen #Fediverse#Account auf meinen #Server ermöglichen und habe dazu eine allgemeinere #Domain als meine eigene crazy-to-bike.de registriert.
Nun stellt sich noch die Frage nach der richtgen #Software für die #Instanz.
Das gefällt mir aber im Vergleich zu anderen Möglichkeiten weder optisch, noch finde ich die #Zeichenlimitierung gut.
Derzeit bin ich ja auf #Firefish unterwegs, aber das scheint den letzen Prognosen zu Folge ein höchstwahrscheinlich totes Pferd zu sein.
#Sharkey als weiteren #Misskey-Nachfolger #Fork teste ich gerade auch, was für mich eine mögliche Alternative zu Firefish ist. Aber auch dieses Projekt ist ja noch sehr frisch und in meinen Augen einfach nicht absehbar, wie dauerhaft das Ganze fortbesteht.
Auf #Friendica war ich ja auch schon eine Zeit lang unterwegs, aber das ist optisch auch sehr angestaubt und hat bei mir auf dem Server auch datenbanktechnisch rebelliert.
Ich weiß, dass es noch eine ganze Reihe Alternativen gibt, will und kann aber nicht alles durchprobieren.
Daher hoffe ich auf gute Tipps.
Wichtig ist
kein, hohes oder einstellbares Zeichenlimit
gute Strukturierung und Kategoriesierung von Lesezeichen (wie bei Firefish und Sharkey mit den Clips)
Folgen von #Hastags und / oder Begriffen (wie bei Firefish und Sharkey mit den Newspickern / Antennen)
gutes, ansprechendes und leicht bedienbares responsive Design für die Nutzung auf dem Smartphone (oder volle Unterstützung durch eine App wie bei Mastodon)
Schön wäre
Konfigurierbarkeit des Speicherverbrauchs durch die Föderation (was wird wie lange auf dem eigenen Server vorgehalten) wie bei Mastodon
automatische Löschung von Beiträgen konfigurierbar wie bei Mastodon
hohe Wahscheinlichkeit einer nachhaltigen Weiterentwicklung
Moderierte Kontoerstellung wie bei Mastodon
Je länger ich hier schreibe, denke ich, dass Mastodon für sehr vieles davon wohl die richtige Software wäre - will ich aber eigentlich aus Gründen nicht.
Woot woot! My team is officially on Mastodon. We'll be posting on suspicious, malicious, and just plain curious things in DNS. Follow us @InfobloxThreatIntel !
This morning I woke up and one of the first things I did for the day, after getting my coffee of course, I renewed the AllThingsTech.social domain for another year!
It's crazy to think that we've been here for close to a year already and it's domain renewal time.
@beardedtechguy and I are very proud of what #AllThingsTech has become to this point and look forward to doing a lot of new things in the future!
Our hoster for linkstack.de has breached contract with us and seemingly has gone underground, causing the instance to be unavailable.
We currently have no access to the domain, but we were able to rescue the data and set up a replacement instance on https://de.linksta.cc until we get the domain back.
If you want, you can export your data to another instance or use the replacement in the meantime.

Okay, my current problem: I have a domain at a webhoster of which I want to use a subdomain at Hetzner in a Cloud VPS. But it seems I am either too dump to do that or something went horribly wrong... Does someone have a tip or even a tutorial on how to do that?
Edit: The domain now resolves to the IP, but I can't ping the server.
In our new place and I’m looking forward to finally getting back to working on the Small Web¹ with Kitten², Domain³, and Place⁴.
Only a few bits left to implement in all three before there is a minimum working implementation that others can also easily deploy and play with.
And, hopefully, with the launch of our own Domain instance at small-web.org in 2024, Small Technology Foundation⁵ can start down the road of becoming sustainable (or at least covering our mortage payments) eventually.
Does there exist already OR is there interest in a forming a #ConsumerUnion for folks who collect domain names and use domain name registrars or their resellers?
