Fwiw, their current CTO, Wido den Hollander, is someone that I used to do business with (many years ago) though his then company. Nothing but good things to tell about that experience.

Sam@!
Slightly concerned about the Gandi acquisition. I have both my mail and domains with them. I'll probably wait to see if anything changes and take it from there, unless there's a larger reason to move that I'm missing.

as long as it's slight no problem

Can you get name registrars that offer 2+ year renewals anymore?

What name seizures and takedowns? Are there registrars that product the name owner over legal intervention?✎ -

agh, that depends AFAIK on the registry, not on the registrar. Gandi offers it for some domains, but not for others.

(I think I renewed my .net domain for 5y or so last year)

(but I cannot do that for my .name or .de domains I think)

(and that's also nothing new, has been that way since forever)

Oh bottoms

Ah that is the registry, thanks.

I don't see what the problem is with the gandi news. Nothing stands out as glaring to me, maybe i'm just not seeing it?

I havent heard a person saying anything good about the company buying gandi. The opposite in fact

msavoritias, Guus said something good about the current CTO, AIUI.
-
Guus
ack.

Granted, it's been years since I talked to that guy. At the time, I met him in person, when he was running the provider that he had started himself. Nothing but excellent service. I've been a happy customer of that company for years. That company got acquired by Versio recently, which appears to be part of your.online organization, if I interpreted things correctly.

moparisthebest, AFAICT, "WHOIS privacy" at inwx is an extra service beyond what most registries have nowadays
-
jonas’
at least I still see "REDACTED FOR PRIVACY" on my .name domain after updating my details and not ticking the WHOIS Privacy box
-
Ellenor Bjornsd.
possibly "extended privacy"
-
Menel
Isn't that a .de feature anyways?

jonas’: don't want to risk trying it anyway, and by now I'm all migrated to porkbun, hopefully don't need to do that again for another decade (or preferably longer) 🤞

yup, sure

Unfortunately no XMPP council at the table
-
Guus
apart from the XSF Board of directors, you mean?
-
MattJ
jaj: people from the XSF were there in person, and remote, and many of the conversations included XMPP
-
jaj
Oh cool, I didn't see they were present. Very nice to know
-
Menel
The XSF account could also post some lines about it on their social channels I guess, just to use the opportunity...
-
