A single domain helps so much, regardless of what you have planned. I basically use mine just as bookmarks. There's a dedicated subdomain for dynamic DNS. I make use of SRV records. Costs me like 6 bucks a year. You don't need huge ambitions or dreams for a domain name to make sense.

It’s just a joke reference to some people who hold onto a domain specifically for their pet project that they aren’t actively pursuing. I’m sure it doesn’t apply to everyone

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

My longest "I'll use that domain soon" was 1 1/2 years. I'm a lightweight.

I got my username because it was about £11 for 2 years, and by buying it through cloudflare I get tones of ways to access the stuff I self host.

At some point I plan on setting up a personal website.

They’re for a project I swear

[–] [email protected] 41 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I totally haven’t renewed them year after year without any movement on that project

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 days ago

I.... Feel called out

[–] [email protected] 28 points 4 days ago

Don’t ask, not because it’s rude but because they honestly lost count years ago.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

They're my emotional support domains

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

I put a hanging ball sack on mine. It makes me feel tough and special.

We're really consuming them at an alarming rate. Soon, the only affordable ones will have either 20+ characters, a sus TLD, or just be a nonsensical string nobody can pronounce.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The weird TLDs will just be normalised

I sure hope so. Half of the Fediverse uses them. We don't want people thinking "no way I'm clicking sh.itjust.works"

That's funny, I was just looking up registering my first domain name for a project this morning.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

Zero, cuz they cost money and I don't earn my salary in USD

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago

I have zero, but within a few years, it may be one...

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago
  1. And a bajillion subdomains
[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

And how many domain registers they have ;-;

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

Moving everything to one registrar was a pain but well worth it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Literally just bought 1 this month

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

I got three so far. Bought my first one as motivational commitment for a project, then came the second... And the third... And it'd be cool if I had a fourth one...

Actually, gimme a couple minutes

whoisearth.com - had for 20+ years. Personal sandbox

ifuckswithit.com

ifuckswiththat.com - both just general blogs

"Surname".com - I get my personal email and my kids all setup there

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

How did you setup your emai?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

I use dreamhost and it's just normal IMAP.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

1 with many subdomains. But I intend to invest in a second one with my legal name, for more professional purposes.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

None because I use free ones.

Freedns is amazing. You can take a public one and have as many subdomains as you want. Even nested.

This.domain.is.also.possible.mooo.com

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

Just one for me… for now.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

For now, just 4...

Or how many alt accounts a Lemming has. 👀

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

Like two dozen or more. I'm using exactly one for anything.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

Heh, 18. Got some cool ones too

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

Yeah I lost count a while ago. It’s probably around 20, maybe less.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

I have like 11...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

Zero duckdns has me covered
