@tveskov jeg har et lige nu!
Og der ligger forskellige selvhostede tjenester på det. Og det bliver en krig at omlægge...

@tveskov oh fuck, to real

@tveskov Right in the feels…

@tveskov

Why you gotta hurt me before I even buy the damned domain?

@tveskov Never giving up the hope for https://www.schematax.org :owi:

@tveskov brings me back to my failed tech blog circa 2010 🥲

@tveskov You'll regret not renewing it. I lost hotdogonabun.com to an SEO backlink farmer. It took me years to get it back. I don't do anything with it, but I got it back, and that's what matters! 😀

@tveskov

I have 2 days to make this decision for myself

@tveskov
Lol it was a fun go and learn some stuff but iam not renewing the vps.

@tveskov Haha this is so true.

@tveskov Same shit, but I have to take decision about couple short domains (one-three- letters) and that is not just $12 😣

@tveskov I got a nice offer for one of mine and took it... 20 years after I first registered it. As investments go, it worked out nicely. As dreams go, not so much.

And then there's the domain I registered 25 years ago that I can never let go, because I have like 80 different e-mail addresses there that I have used for website logins.

@tveskov ouch.

@tveskov I still pay 4 "useless" domains from archived projects :ablobsigh:

@tveskov or you renew it because you once used email on it and can’t remember if you killed all accounts linked to that email.

@tveskov Why not both?

@tveskov I feel personally attacked

@tveskov lol

@tveskov @timixretroplays I'm in this picture and I don't like it! 😵‍💫

@tveskov Oh just personally attacking me on a Tuesday. Cool cool cool

@tveskov *slaps that buy button*

@tveskov I have about a dozen domains expiring this year because I chose the left button

@tveskov This hits hard

@tveskov Ouch, that hurts.

@tveskov do not worry elon, you may eventually find use for that x.com of yours

@tveskov Oof. That reminds me, where is everybody moving now that Google sold off it's domains service?

@tveskov This is how Umbrellix morphed from a vaporware OS into... whatever it is now. ^L

@tveskov Just did this today, though not because I still want to do the thing the domain was for, but I didn’t want some schmuck taking it. I let it run to the ‘It will expire in seven days’ point though.

@tveskov I feel seen.

@tveskov why you gotta attack me like this? 😭

@tveskov

@tveskov There is a reason they use automatic renewal to make thier money

@tveskov This is an attack!

@tveskov@mastodon.social @benolot@comfy.social hey i kept renewing it and now i run a social network node

@tveskov @todd This is too funny and too real 😂.

@tveskov too real

@tveskov is this @basil in this cartoon??

@tveskov Right in the feels man. I'll stick to it anyways because its a rad domain.

@tveskov $12 for a domain?! Where?! I'll migrate there right away.

Last month I ran away from a registrar which charges $50/annum to one that charges $25...

@tveskov i still believe in captain-catpain.com ... (:

@tveskov it me

@tveskov I've got one I might sell to pay some taxes. They aren't all dead dreams.

@tveskov Ha! Last month I cancelled my old business domain. Quite a relief 😁.

@tveskov @vfxGer :blob_cat:

@tveskov Some have pushed the button on the right several times before taking their by then more substantial loss and pushing left. No names mentioned here. 😬

@tveskov@mastodon.social nowadays followed by SSL certificate renewal….

@tveskov I killed 7 of those dreams about a month ago. Some of them have been with me for more than 15 years ...

@tveskov @anagnostes 😂😂😂

@tveskov @germaaan

@tveskov thank you for reminding me

@tveskov 🤝 @stux

@tveskov Glad to see I'm not the only one 😁

@tveskov Just pay for multiple years at a time, so you have to make that decision less often 😄

@tveskov oh, this reminded me that I need to actually renew it :) Thanks!

@tveskov just let three go this month...

@tveskov Call me fc39422f8622de242878f0d76b07ef8b, a steadfast dreamer.

@tveskov
I keep renewing my domain because I have too much email that goes there.

@tveskov I just press both at the same time.
yes it is dead, but who cares, I'm not giving up my domain

@tveskov I actually did the hard thing and canceled one domain renewal.

@tveskov @ianrosewrites I only see one button there. What’s he stressed out about?

@tveskov image description (you may be able to update your post to make it more accessible): sweating and choosing between two buttons meme, where the options are “admit to yourself your dream is dead” or “pay $12”

@tveskov

omg i am seen 😂

@Sammael99 OK, c'est un défi !
Je l'ajoute à la liste de mes projets prio, na !
(car oui j'ai un nom de domaine comme ça qui croupit dans un coin, en vue d'un site, un jour).

@tveskov I’m using that domain name. For my email address. Stop destroying my dreams!

@tveskov Wow, there's the gut punch I needed this morning. ;)

Just kidding. I'm glad I'm not the only one!

@tveskov @khalidabuhakmeh the older I get, the more I press the left button without sweating 😅

@tveskov I'd love to boost this, but I don't boost things that lack alt text because I have some followers who use screen readers... Could I convince You to edit some in?

@tveskov bahaha I'm just now putting my domain to use that I've owned my entire adult life 🤣

@tveskov #Alt4You (in case any readers need it!)

A meme image of a man who has to press one of two buttons. Button 1: "admit to yourself your dream is dead." Button 2: "pay $12." The anxious man wiping his brow is labeled "domain renewal"

@tveskov I love this, AND I have no idea how URL speculators/collectors handle this problem, especially now that the amount of TLDs has exploded.

@tveskov Fffffuuuuuck this hit close to home

@tveskov Still more dignified than paying $8 for a Twitter checkmark.

@tveskov just test it on a subdomain of your main and then migrate once it (btw never) gets out of alpha

@tveskov Yes, also known as the

Nerd’s Sunk Cost Fallacy

@tveskov My rule is 2 years to start work, else I have to let the domain go.

@tveskov for me that was when I let 1-800-HEROES.com go. It was going to be a superhero management game, very much drawing on the vibe of Rockstar Ate My Hamster. Renewed it for years, finally realized I was never going to make significant progress. Someone did eventually do something vaguely similar, I think Doublefine put it out on mobile? I feel validated when that happens :)

@tveskov I can't allow them to own "rechnung.zip" and "surprisepentest.social".

@tveskov ouch. Too close to home. And I have 1/2 dozen of these dreams

@tveskov @kathimmel This me every time June rolls around.

@tveskov me every year my Squarespace renewal comes up

@tveskov especially if you’ve had it long enough that people still send valid email through it.

@tveskov This was a devastating kick in the balls :)

@tveskov would love to boost this but I only boost when there’s alt text. Just a friendly reminder that there’s many people who require alt text to participate online and people like me who want to ensure they can.

@tveskov I've really been hook, line and sinker'd on this one.

@tveskov I want to share because I'm in this picture, but could you please add an alt text before?

Something like :

>

picture of two buttons. On the first one is written "admit to yourself your dream is dead". On the second one "pay $12".
On the next panel is a drawing of a man who struggles, sweating a lot. Under the man is written "domain renewal"

#ALT4you

@tveskov cuts.too.damn.close!!!

Wow, a bit of the old ‘virality’, Mastodon has a fairly long tail..

@tveskov 😂 Like buying a lottery ticket hoping the despair can be lifted temporarily, only to win and be suicidal or lose it all and then become homeless
