"The most common translation for "naked" in French is nu (masculine) or nue (feminine)."

NU is the country code for Niue.

Not Nauru. Nauru is NR.

NU is an interesting story, the control of the domain was granted in exchange for providing internet services to the island, and its operation was later transferred to the Swedish Internet Foundation. The islanders want the domain back

Here's the source for what I'm saying: https://wapi.gov.me/download/0d9fcdc2-c491-4b2c-9a71-d493af1...

No I am not sarcastic, I think it's sad that countries give up the autonomy of controlling their sovereign domain to random foreign American companies

DNS pre-screen delegation detected for t.me watch=. scan=55461 previous: CLEAR_UNDELEGATED now: TAKEN_DELEGATED NS=ns-cloud-b1.googledomains.com, ns-cloud-b2.googledomains.com, ns-cloud-b3.googledomains.com, ns-cloud-b4.googledomains.com rcode=NOERROR server=a0.nic.me

Fixed.

Absolutely. According to a recent Montenegro government document, doMEn is owned by: GoDaddy.com LLC 38.352% Identity Digital Limited 36.848% ME-net (local montenegrinian network) 24.8%.

doMEn is the registry of .ME.

You're right, their fault is not choosing to manage it themselves

OFAC just announced sanctions against a VPN provider that had a t.me link listed as its website. I wonder if that's what triggered the t.me ban? They saw the domain in the filing and went, "Yep, ban the whole thing."

I found this post: "I contacted Identity Digital, the registry operator for the .ME domain zone, to request the reason why t.me was placed on "serverHold".

The company has now responded and confirmed that the domain was suspended due to OFAC-related compliance requirements.

The domain t.me has been placed on serverHold due to OFAC-related compliance requirements

Identity Digital also stated that, under its agreements with accredited registrars, it cannot provide further details directly to third parties. Any additional communication regarding the registry action must go through the domain's registrar, GoDaddy." [weird response, this is a serverHold, not a client lock]

As you can see, the Montenegrin government is NOT at fault. It’s a decision made by the two biggest stakeholders in the .ME registry, which together hold over 70%: the American companies GoDaddy and Identity Digital. In my opinion, it’s extremely sad that the countries managing TLDs have so little autonomy and are also constantly accused of doing wrong when it’s not their fault.

FYI, 75,2% of doMEn d.o.o. is controlled by American companies (GoDaddy.com LLC 38.352%, Identity Digital Limited 36.848%)

.eu :troll:

Btw, I highly doubt Nauru makes much money selling their ccTLD, they manage it directly on the island and each domain costs a whopping 500$/year.

Better examples: Tuvalu (.TV), Anguilla (.AI)

Both of these countries (anguilla is not independent though) only get a cut of the money from the domains; all the technical management is done by GoDaddy for .TV and Identity Digital for .AI. In my opinion, very sad.

.AI was run by a local guy in Anguilla (Vince Cate) utilizing the https://cocca.org.nz/ domain SaaS, but Identity Digital took over in late 2024.

Interesting read from 2004: https://www.theregister.com/on-prem/2004/12/20/we-were-sold-...

But I strongly disagree with your conclusion. gTLDs are also run by profit-driven companies and operate under ICANN's US-rooted system. ccTLDs at least offer some jurisdictional autonomy and diversity.

And many "trendy" ccTLDs are not actually run by unstable local governments. .me, for example, is operated with GoDaddy and Identity Digital, while .to relies on Tucows, a Canadian company.

So the irony is that these ccTLDs often end up controlled or technically managed by the same North American companies you consider more trustworthy. Very few small/island countries actually manage their ccTLD directly, which is extremely sad.

Curiously, GoDaddy has a 38.352% stake in .ME registry services.

there you go

No. There are still many 1 char .ME domains available, and they've always costed an high price. https://imgur.com/a/0NL7oA6

I think they just flagged all locks in their admin portal. Like this: https://imgur.com/a/zoTQbwn

serverHold means like "suspicious activity, domain is administratively held and taken off dns"

To approve domain name registration requests, supporting documentation must include a Notarized Letter of Approval from the requesting Locality signed

says this if you try to get it from localitymanagement.us

The .io tld is going through rough times :pensive:

how much latency would a minecraft server in space have?

The issue tracker seems kinda dead... for the rest, it's a good provider

I agree with this dicussion, AI should be used for improving, researching, and as he says, do something useful that changes the outcomes of people and communities and countries and industries. BUT IT'S SATYA NADELLA SAYING IT! The person whose company owns Copilot, Copilot in Bing, Copilot for Word, Copilot for Dynamics 365 Supply Chain...

With all this useless slop, he’s literally arguing against his own point.

This behavior only works when the reverse proxy or CDN is configured like this:

Proxy/CDN: HTTPS (443) → Origin server: plain HTTP (80)

(example: Cloudflare in Flexible mode)

If the origin server uses any proper TLS configuration, even a self-signed certificate, this method stops working. It only succeeds when the upstream connection to the origin is unsecured.

If you want to test this on a random site without Cloudflare or reverse proxy in general on HTTP: curl http://www.digiboy.ir/boobs.jpg -v

Who?

Don't you have cloud architects and similiar figures already?

if it follows redirect, redirct him to a 10gb gzip bomb

Me when i can't use my phone in a bus because some fucker decided to block it's functionality when moving

This will waste your bandwidth and resources too
