My main domain name turned 24 years old today. That feels weird.
@anth@a.9srv.net I actually don’t have a clue how old my public-facing domain is 🤣 I have another more personal one that’s probably around ~15 years, but I’m not even sure how to check tbh 😅
According to a very old email one of my more personal family domains was registered in 2013 making it 12 years old, so I was closed 🤣 my public facing one is much much older 🤣
@anth@a.9srv.net Congrats, that’s pretty cool! Quite some time, I’m impressed.
@prologic@twtxt.net You’ll sometimes find the “Creation Date” in whois
. Our domain was registered in 2009. Woah. That’s also been a while, crazy.
Yeah I can’t figure out when I registered shortcircuit.net.au
😭
@anth@a.9srv.net 24 years is quite a long time. 😳 My blog domain is from 2006 (still, almost 20 years, oof).
@anth@a.9srv.net happy birthday, “youngster!”

@bender@twtxt.net I’m not sure this is accurate, if you lookup mine:
$ whois shortcircuit.net.au 2>&1 | grep -i creat
created: 1986-03-05
I think this has to be the registrar’s creation date no? 🤔
@prologic@twtxt.net I will pull the email. The year is about right.
@bender@twtxt.net How do you explain mine then? Unless it was registered before me, then let go of and I re-registered it later? 🤔
