Henna VirkkunenHappy 20th birthday, .eu!
Over the past 20 years, the .eu top-level domain has become a milestone for Europe’s digital identity.
Today, it counts over 3.8 million registrations, making it the ninth-largest country-code top-level domain worldwide.
Stéphane Bortzmeyer@HennaVirkkunen When .eu was created, 5"1/4 floppy disks were already obsolete :-)
Mark Koek@bortzmeyer @HennaVirkkunen my first thought as well, that computer is a lot older than 20 years 🙂
Konstantin Weddige@HennaVirkkunen I'm feeling a bit old right now 😅
But I can still remember waiting for the registration to open. It already felt significant back then, and 20 years later, it still does.
@HennaVirkkunen I probably should finally move the domain to a European registrar. That's my to-do until the next #DID.
Angelino Desmet@HennaVirkkunen Life is good at the top…level domain; 🦋 https://www.smetterling.eu
Shameless, I know.
Luc@HennaVirkkunen ah yeah what a great milestone of cross-border collaboration and identity when ~300'000 UK holders' domains were disowned with less than a year's notice
Edit: just looked at the user profile. They're not on Mastodon, they're just mirroring their RSS feed here. Zero replies to anyone, just promoting their own content
Lars Eggert@HennaVirkkunen If it really only has 3.8M registrations, I highly doubt it’s the 9th-largest ccTLD…
