A bit of an after-hours geek interested in tech but keeping things usable and minimal where able.
Back on #snac hosted in my home of #NewZealand.

A few interests: #Linux, #BulletJournal, #FountainPen, #photography, #gaming, #smolweb ...and more, I am sure.

I endeavour to not comment on anything political.
There is already so much noise.

Wired headline says Trump regime is building "master database" to spy on immigrants. That's bad enough (and totally illegal).

But the real story is that the regime and its Big Tech partners in this crime are building the database to track ALL OF US.

DOGE Is Building a Master Database to Surveil and Track Immigrants

DOGE is knitting together data from the Department of Homeland Security, Social Security Administration, the IRS that could create a surveillance tool of unprecedented scope.

With Archlinux the fix is either a really straightforward single line edit to something, or absolutely categorically fucking impossible. Both take 3 hours.

Update: domain unsuspended!

Porkbun took a dim view of the outcome apparently; overnight they went into bat for me while I slept and have now sorted it with XYZ! I have updated them with the responses from Spamhaus and are going to follow up on that as well. Honestly I am super impressed with Porkbun after this. Faith in (some of) humanity restored. Especially their staff member Steve.


TLDR: Be wary using XYZ owned domains

What a fucking debacle. I purchased a cheap .quest domain to run my xmpp server on for my family and a few close friends. It was on sale, was cheap and I grabbed it.
It lasted less than 24 hours before being suspended by the regsistrar.

Turns out, it ended up on a spamhaus list, and XYZ suspends domains automatically based on that. I have lodged tickets with each, but can't rectify because:
- Spamhaus issues can't be rectified because the domain is locked
- XYZ won't unsuspend because it is still on the Spamhaus blocklist

Chicken and egg. I have tickets with each, and with Porkbun which is where I started.
I get it. It's a fucking great scam to bleed money from spammers when they snap up cheap domains.

I just wanted one to self-host xmpp for my family though, and am now caught up in the loop sadly.

It is extremely unlikely I will purchase any other XYZ owned domains (there are a lot, and some fun ones sadly).

Spamhaus in itself isn't necessarily a bad thing; it is a great tool. But automatically flagging everything listed by it in your registrar? Yeah nah fuck that. XYZ using external blocklists where everything is automatically opted in with no practical recourse is a terrible idea. The same goes for domains, fedi, whatever. There is always collateral damage and it sours it for everyone. It is just a stupid.

XYZ offers next generation domains for the next generation of internet users

XYZ is the registry operator of .xyz, .LOL, .Game, and many other new domain extensions

Old post, but still relevant – maybe even more relevant today than it was in 2023.

25 Years Later | MyNotes

After 25 years, I reconnected with a friend through a 1998 email, highlighting the lasting power of open standards. This personal journey underscores the risk of relying on fleeting proprietary tech. In our digital era, choosing lasting platforms is more vital than ever.
