fuck yeah, this solved my CapriBean problem!
Getting twitter.sucks is just leasing/buying a domain name, which is a lot more simple. Generally you pay for a set period, and have the option to renew it. I'm not sure what happens when a registrar closes down, other than it's likely someone else takes it over. The agreements linked below have sections describing what happens if a registrar closes down or gets shut down by ICANN for breaking the agreement... presumably someone else takes it over. There are surely other people who know more about this than I do.
You can start a new gTLD that nobody else has for $185,000, plus the cost of operating the registry. From what I understand it's basically a lease. As a registry, your job is to maintain a zone file for the TLD, and sell domains. (edit!) reading the contracts, you also pay them about $6,000 a quarter plus .25c for each registration for revenue over $50,000.
Here is the agreement ICANN has for people who start TLDs: https://www.icann.org/en/registry-agreements and it is fairly legal and arcane.
They have a FAQ about the gTLD program: https://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/global-support/faqs/faqs-en
It's difficult to display an image without the client knowing the URL, but it would be possible to use a temporary URL that only works for that signed-in user.
I think that's the best solution. I can't see a reason any client couldn't upload the image when the post is submitted. Currently the uploader is some fancy javascript deal and it's unnecessary.
S3 is expensive, while if you use a third party like img.bb or imgur, you never know when they will close, accidentally lose your data, or decide to delete it.
That has to do with Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), run by ICANN, who oversee IP address allocation and root zone management of DNS. DNS is the database/system that maps domain names to IP addresses, if you’re not aware.
No, tor has nothing to do with regular domain names.
Currently, to start a new top level domain, you apply to ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, pay a fee of something like $185,000, and then become the registrar for that TLD.
I can’t believe it, primus.sucks isn’t an active site?
Yeah, this is only if what OP was saying was a real legal threat, which I don’t think it is.
That is essentially what I was saying. It does seem like it would take a scripting element in addition to SQL.
Facebook/Meta already does everything he says he wants to add to 'X', which is mainly some sort of paypal-like payment system.
