I hate the domain name system

@Hyolobrika
Browser, please open https://[2a03:2880:f02c:13:face:b00c:0:3]/ for me!
Give me https://[2001:4b10:bbc::1] !
Statements dreamt up by the utterly deranged 😏

@m0xee We could have a name system that isn't feudal or rent seeking. Like #GNS

@Hyolobrika
Oh, you mean the particular implementation? Yeah, it sucks!
Did you find a decent registrar? I wonder if European ones are good for me… I wonder won't they give me a two week eviction notice like GoDaddy did or even confiscate my domains as a symbolic gesture in support of Ukraine? 🤔

@m0xee I've heard good things about Porkbun

@m0xee But I've never used it.

They appear to be very good so far! The support team is available via regular email (wasn't the case with my former registrar which has this web-based chat that never worked) and answers very promptly — received answers to all my question before in about an hour.
The transfer went smooth on their end and not so much on my former registrar's one.

@Hyolobrika
And the prices are very attractive — the transfer was two times cheaper than the renewal would have been for me. And it's not some new customer promotion, it's their regular price, which is the same for renewals — hopefully, I'll stay with them for years.
Again, often problems arise when you're already a customer and unfortunately, few companies do their best to keep you being one, but so far so good 😁
