If an organization runs a survey in 2024 on whether it should get into AI, then they’ve already bodged an LLM into the system and they’re seeing if they can get away with it. Proton Mail is a priva…
we appear to be the first to write up the outrage coherently too. much thanks to the illustrious @self
I don’t know anyone who has “lost” a domain (besides incompetence). You can be pedantic if you like, but domain ownership allows you to transfer everything to wherever and no one in a realistic example can take it away from you.
sure. tell that to people who used the .af domains; or learn more about shenanigans with the various oceanian TLDs, or who owns the .io domain, and why.
the fact is that you don’t own the domain name, and it’s always one missed card payment (or registrar changing hands and losing your card data) from being lost, and then your best chance is arbitrage.
it’s one of these things that you have to understand when you start self-hosting anything.
you’ve never heard of a single example of anyone losing a domain due to legal maneuvering, trusting the wrong TLD (ie a bunch of lgbt folks losing their domains when the TLD’s administrating country decided not to give them service), or a plain ol registrar fuckup?
you’re far too inexperienced to be opining on self-hosting email, then
I’ve been using Mailbox.org. I tried Tutanota but the domain name was just awful.
I recommend you get your own domain, then you can’t ever lose your email.
sure. because domains can be bought, not only temporarily leased.
Not sure why that’s relevant. There are domains that have been in use by the same owner for 39 years now.
That’s longer than anything I’ve ever owned.
so what happens with the domain when the owner dies?

or registrar “forgetting” renewal settings… conveniently soon after they introduced new at-checkout products
It’s important to choose the right tld. It’s also incompetence to not pay, so that doesn’t count, as I said.

Name an individual who uses their domain solely for personal email who lost a domain due to legal maneuvering.
Well it is just tuta now so there is that
