Imported from historical reading log.

  • Extracted via api.fxtwitter.com fallback.
  • Armin Ronacher reacting to .de outage: How the hell do you take all of .de offline?, useful signal that ccTLD operational failures were visible well beyond India.
  • Pranesh Prakash: Nixi is a terrible domain registry. quoting Nemo's report that inregistry suspended his primary .in domain without a single email over allegedly invalid WHOIS, while .in also lacks WHOIS privacy.
  • Nikhil Pahwa adds prior experience: avoided switching MediaNama to na.ma; says the Moroccan registry was a nightmare and worse than NIXI.
  • Theme to track: the last week had multiple reminders that country TLDs can carry operational, policy, and privacy risk beyond normal registrar risk.
  • Good newsletter/blog angle: country-code domains as hidden infrastructure risk; convenience/branding vs registry reliability, due process, and privacy.
