Giant fox maw people in the #IT field should start referring to ICANN as "mother" same way people back in the day refereed to the Bell Telephone Company as "Ma Bell" back when they had a monopoly. ICANN is the modern equivalent as they hold a monopoly on the Internet's naming system.

Does anyone know if there is a legitimate reason that a linux system (with postfix and dovecot on it) would try to connect this AS16876 (ICANN) IP on port TCP-443?
"2620:0:2830:200::b:9"
It doesn't appear to have a Reverse DNS entry either.

Forum software, allows for you to change domain names.
That is something Fediverse software, truly, should work on.

If you're thinking of starting a website, it would be best for you to pick a country level domain extension, as opposed to a word-based domain extension.
Corporations can be bought, sold, influenced, regulated, and shutdown, overnight. If avoiding Donald Trump's possible madness is your goal, you don't want to be back into a corner with Corporate America.

Many people, unfortunately, do not read legal documentation. It has become human nature to simply click "OK, I agree".
If more folks did read their terms of services, you would know word-based domain name extensions are not managed the same way as normal with the protection of ICANN.
As it stands now, if Donald Trump really lost his mind, he could shut down much of the Fediverse.

@gharbeia @aral @EUCommission I mean, #OpenNIC works as an alternative rootzone, and #NameDotSpace allegedly failed at sueing #ICANN for their monopoly.
As for #certificates, @cacert iron'd out that ages ago...
Busy nuking domain names that I don't really need. #ICANN doesn't need the money and I don't really need the domains. Making life less complicated. Plus don't have time for even more projects.

ICANN's attempt to replace #WHOIS with #RDAP has the excitement level of a soggy sandwich 
. They buried the lead under layers of search boxes and sign-out buttons, ensuring only the bravest nerds with JavaScript enabled can uncover the meh news.

www.icann.orgICANN Update: Launching RDAP; Sunsetting WHOISThe Registration Data Access Protocol (RDAP) is the successor to WHOIS, which is being sunsetted on 28 January 2025.
In anticipation of the completion of ICANN policy activity for the New gTLD Program: Next Round, the Interisle team looked again at our 2024 Cybercrime Supply Chain study. Using the same data, we offer additional measurements, metrics and observations here to further inform ICANN and other policy makers as they consider policy for Round 2.

Elizabeth "Jake" Feinler, the original #DNS woman and "mother" of Whois, played a pivotal role in shaping the #Internet. Ahead of her virtual appearance at the #ICANN82 DNS Women session on 11 March, watch this roundtable with Jake, her team, and former #ICANN Board Chair, Steve Crocker, to hear what the Internet was like before it became part of our everyday lives: http://go.icann.org/3DsTDlF
After DevOpsDayLA 2025, @aeden and Felipe are heading to #ICANN82 in Seattle . Curious about how our Domain Control Plane unifies domain, DNS, and certificate management in one place? Want to talk about advanced features like #ALIAS records, Regional records, #DDoS Defense, and seamless integrations with popular platforms via our robust #API? 
Reach out to us to schedule a chat during the event.

My advise for #EU digital sovereignty project funding and subsidies:
- force ownership of #ICANN top level domains and a standalone EU hosted copy of root DNS servers
- give life to a European Public Key Certificate Authority for free certificates for everyone (a la #LetsEncrypt )
- Start a European public fork of #Mozilla #Firefox browser in pure #FOSS spirit without #ToS
Please be quick about it! #MoveMoveMove #DigitalSovereignty

@thierrya @bohwaz @soriano n'oublions pas le #dns et l'#icann qui est basée à los angeles.
Il me semble que n'est pas qu'une question de fournisseur de logiciel ou de stockage : l'infrastructure humaine et matérielle est-elle résiliente ?
Si Trusk peut couper starlink quand il veut où il veut, il aura à coeur de controler les serveurs racines des noms de domaines, ainsi que les grands silos de données (datacenters) et les noeuds d'échange (IX).

That's what i try to post as much as possible. And don't think of MS as the only difficulty.
#MS #Apple #Google #Meta #Musk are all in that #clubofoligarchs ...and the headquarter of #ICANN is located in the states.
They have only started.
