James CridlandEarlier today - odd moment. Went to the airport five hours early to check in. Then a drive and walk to the beach - Togo Chasm, an amazing volcanic formation.

Max ResingAll my (digitally aware) life, I wondered why the Swedish Internet Foundation <code>.nu</code> manages. Turns out <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Niue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Niue</a> was cheated out of it's <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ccTLD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ccTLD</a>. It's a solid revenue stream due to "nu" translating to "now" in some Northern & Western European languages.<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Sweden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sweden</a> argues it's "highly relevant for Swedish users", which still should not grant them the right to rule over others ccTLDs.

I'll keep an eye on it. A question I have left is, would Niue continue open-sourcing their zonefiles, like <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Internetstiftelsen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Internetstiftelsen</a> does?<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/dns" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dns</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/tld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tld</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/internet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#internet</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/internetgovernance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#internetgovernance</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/nic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nic</a>
