Jesus Christ this will be a major pain in the ass if it goes through... I'm really not in the mood of having to reconfigure all my self hosted services to a new domain.

Do it anyway. Having anything behind a TLD that is tied to the political control of a tiny geographic area is insanely careless

Maybe, but I had no idea this was tied to a country. I thought it was a novelty tld, like xyz and art. You know, like input/output so io.

Yeah, I've been with you. I owned a couple .so from Somalia for a while. They cranked up the cost to $$$ and I had to cancel it. I'm not a smartass, I just burned myself already in the past
