They’re for a project I swear
I totally haven’t renewed them year after year without any movement on that project
I… Feel called out
A single domain helps so much, regardless of what you have planned. I basically use mine just as bookmarks. There’s a dedicated subdomain for dynamic DNS. I make use of SRV records. Costs me like 6 bucks a year. You don’t need huge ambitions or dreams for a domain name to make sense.
It’s just a joke reference to some people who hold onto a domain specifically for their pet project that they aren’t actively pursuing. I’m sure it doesn’t apply to everyone
I got my username because it was about £11 for 2 years, and by buying it through cloudflare I get tones of ways to access the stuff I self host.
At some point I plan on setting up a personal website.
Don’t ask, not because it’s rude but because they honestly lost count years ago.
I have zero, but within a few years, it may be one…
We’re really consuming them at an alarming rate. Soon, the only affordable ones will have either 20+ characters, a sus TLD, or just be a nonsensical string nobody can pronounce.
The weird TLDs will just be normalised
I sure hope so. Half of the Fediverse uses them. We don’t want people thinking “no way I’m clicking sh.itjust.works”
They’re my emotional support domains
I put a hanging ball sack on mine. It makes me feel tough and special.
- And a bajillion subdomains
That’s funny, I was just looking up registering my first domain name for a project this morning.
Zero, cuz they cost money and I don’t earn my salary in USD
None because I use free ones.
Freedns is amazing. You can take a public one and have as many subdomains as you want. Even nested.
For now, just 4…
1 with many subdomains. But I intend to invest in a second one with my legal name, for more professional purposes.
Literally just bought 1 this month
I got three so far. Bought my first one as motivational commitment for a project, then came the second… And the third… And it’d be cool if I had a fourth one…
Actually, gimme a couple minutes
Just one for me… for now.
whoisearth.com - had for 20+ years. Personal sandbox
ifuckswiththat.com - both just general blogs
“Surname”.com - I get my personal email and my kids all setup there
How did you setup your emai?
I use dreamhost and it’s just normal IMAP.
