1998 is when the registration was transferred from AlterNIC to InterNIC: which is only part of that story. The original WHOIS record history has been lost to time (and ext2 filesystem bit-rot).
I have had the same email address continuously since 1994 - pre-dating the PIR database of domain registration dates. At a rough estimate I receive about half of the spam email that exists on the internet. Some of it is…

Reporting cross-Tenant issues as an outsider with a vulnerability chain gets you $$$. Reporting “theoretical” issues with validation as an Employee gets your access to view internal repositories outside of your assigned…
It does, eventually. For this type of project don’t use a microwave that you plan on ever using for food - or anything else - ever again.
Its a fun thing to put on your business card or GitHub profile, for people not early enough to have "lastname.com/net/org" registered.
You can apply for any gTLD string for any reason, the hard part is the application fee: USD$227,000.

They would have to admit that they were wrong to switch away from using the proven Aerojet-Rocketdyne AJ-60A boosters (developed for and still flying with the Atlas V family).
Conferences are a long-lead-time project. The contract described here was signed in July 2023 - 2 years 9 months before the event date. Even if it was possible to setup a new event, the current contract would not be…

FreeBSD will never switch to systemd. :-) It is an old-school UNIX experience, not great for desktops but excellent for long-lived “pet servers” where long-term stability over decades of service is valued. I treasure it…
I built a NFS3-over-OpenVPN network for a startup about a decade ago; it worked “okay” for transiting an untrusted internal cloud provider network and even over the internet to other datacenters, but ran into mount…
Publicly available data[1] on the pilot project in Nevada suggests a total of “50MW” generation capacity is planned across 10 rail lines, but the photos on the website seem to only show 1 set being built so far - and a…
