Something strange is going on at #ISNIC. They ask to prove the address, I do and they response that the domain will be deleted in 30 days. It looks much like a hostile takeover by some experienced domain traders.
Removing information from the Internet does not add any credibility to it. It is interesting thatfell into this trap and was used as a credibility booster.

Twitter change leaves huge gaps in websites theverge.com/2022/4/6/23012

Someone is spamming with messy emails from a "feminist association" accusing us of cryptoscam, Windows virus, torture, rape, pedo/zoophilia, ... everything at once. Shockingly, some recipients seem to believe it. Something from Kiwifarms?
"Having to do" is not so direct here. Absence of EDNS and massive mismatch (not only on AS/Country, but even on the continent level) of where DNS and related HTTP requests come from causes so many troubles so I consider EDNS-less requests from Cloudflare as invalid.
I wonder how so many websites survive without domain mirrors

In 2020, Google AdSense recruiting publishers using email spam. I remember the times when it was a privilege to get an account there. Weeks-long approval queue. Random blocks.

Cloudflare DNS issue persists due to double-locking: in response to my non-answering to their requests, they implemented infinite TTL for my domains, remembering the IPs forever. So, IPs in 1.1.1.1's responses are often obsolete or not mine at all, beyond my control to alter.
hunch.ly is whatcould be, if we had a sales guy :) It actually is for the insiders, only the public API is restricted to "save one url" and "search" (and no .onion for the public to reduce our communication with the authorities about the content)
Since yesterday archive.EC is not under my control. Please update links. There could be parking page or something. And never buy .EC domains
Old troll who attacked domains and now sends fake DMCAs to Twitter (see missing logo?). The idea of insulting is to nudge me to reupload the logo then Twitter will delete the acc. This really works.

I am rather pessimistic because the attacker know they found a vulnerable registry and all they need to do is to be more annoying with it.
I wanted to evaluate #TiKV instead of #Hadoop, but it would be taking the risk of maintaining the biggest installation ;) Their performance digits are impressive.

I had a deja-vu reading in aarticle about Spanish homes of a darknet market operator, then recall that those guys sent us removal requests with threats.

You were contacted by the trolls who impersonate authorities. So to say, you were outsmarted by the hackers. But you still resist to acknowledge the vulnerability, to apologize to the clients and promise that you will verify the identity of the claimants.
