[02:21] schestowitz I largely agree about BSD, but wait till/if it gets bigger. It'll be tampered with all the same...

The journey to a curl domain
[07:28] schestowitz
[07:28] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-daniel.haxx.se | The Agony of Release | daniel.haxx.se [07:28] schestowitz

In the early morning of October 19th 2020, the curl.se domain was released and in the race of getting the purchase I lost. Someone else got the domain before me. I was sad. For a while, until I got the good news

[07:28] schestowitz

Donated!

[07:28] schestowitz

It turned out my friend Bartek Tatkowski had snatched the domain! After getting all the administrative things in order, Bartek graciously donated the domain to me and 15:00 on October 30 2020 I could enter my own name servers into the dedicated inputs fields for the domain, and configure it properly in our master and secondary DNS servers.
