Ask HN: Gandi is holding my domain hostage. What can I do?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-18 02:58:25

The short version of the story is that I was on a two-year internet hiatus. During that time my Gandi account with a decade-old domain name got locked. I have been emailing back and fourth with their Abuse department for the better part of a week and they’re slow-walking me at best. I had assurances from the CEO, who I reached via text, that if it wasn’t resolved today to text him back. He has now gone dark on me. I used to love Gandi, but they’re holding my domain name hostage.

Take something you don’t like and try to like it

Here’s one possible hobby: Take something you don’t like. Try to like it. It could be food or music or people or just the general situation you’re in.

Corruption and Control: Turkmenistan turned internet censorship into a business

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-22 07:09:20

In July 2021, a sudden drop in Tor usage in Turkmenistan called our attention. Tor would come to understand that this marked the beginning of a new era of censorship and restriction in this post-Soviet country. But let's rewind... The Tor Community has long been defending internet freedom, running relays and providing bridges to combat internet censorship. Over the years, the Tor Project has called for action to run more bridges, Snowflake proxies, while we've investigated and adapted our anti

Discounty adds some bite to cozy life sims

There’s a pleasing rhythm to cozy life sims. The virtual days pass, filled with chores of tending crops or running a business, punctuated by strange mysteries or evolving relationships. At their best, these games merge busywork with exploration and storytelling, in a way that makes them hard to step away from. Discounty, from developer Crinkle Cut Games, applies this idea to running a small-town supermarket. And while in many ways it can still be considered “cozy” like its contemporaries, it als

Income Equality in Nordic Countries: Myths, Facts, and Lessons

This article critically assesses that claim by integrating theoretical perspectives and empirical evidence to explain how the Nordic model functions and why these countries experience low inequality.

March 14, 2023 As a relatively new member of adult society, and an absolute infant of the business world, I didn't think much about bank choice.

The first Hollywood film I watched in a theater was “Star Wars: The Last Jedi,” in 2017 in Tunis — the movie in which Disney definitively ruined the franchise forever. Before that, in Libya, I used to buy pirated movies on CDs, or download them from illegal websites. Even the Libyan government got in on the piracy racket, illegally packaging the Arabic-speaking Disney channel along with 19 others and selling it just for 150 Libyan dinars. I say “just,” but 150 Libyan dinars was around $100 U.S.,
