Lol!

@LeonianUniverse @kd6cae @munchkinbear @TRodick93 Fork of Icecast. So think Shoutcast, except free (as in freedom) software that you self-host, or pay for someone to host for you.

Story of my life. But really I just hate the sighted world with its inaccessible for no fucking reason apps right now.

@kd6cae @munchkinbear @startrek2025 @TRodick93 And by "No joy", I mean impossible.

@kd6cae @munchkinbear @startrek2025 @TRodick93 So you can regain access to your Namecheap account, but they're going to require a picture of your photo ID and a selfie, which are obtained through Verif. (I think I'm spelling that right). This is the part I'm at with them now, and you'll need sighted assistance for this because Verif is inaccessible. You can exit verification fine with a screen reader, but taking the pictures is no joy.

Do you know offhand which TLDs they don't work with?

Yeah that URL is fine, they're using Cloudfront as a content delivery network for one or more of their website assets.

What do you mean? Adguard is blocking the site?

https://www.porkbun.com

Yeah you might want to think about doing that in case you end up in my situation.

Yeah it's a domain registrar.

@kd6cae @munchkinbear @startrek2025 Yeah. So on top of the stuff with Tucows, I'm not in risk management hell with Namecheap because problems like this cascade and apparently switching the email associated with an account, even after verifying everything, takes an act of Congress. Su guess who will definitely be losing my business. Anyway, I think I'm stealing "Get porked", which is extra funny.

Yeah that's the part I'm having trouble with the current registrar about. I'm trying to renew the domain and I'm still in the grace period after expiration.

Yeah but don't you have to wait until the grace and then redemption periods are over before you can transfer? It's been a long time since I've had to get into the weeds of domain registration and transferrence lol.

@TRodick93 Took a look at the Porkbun site. Very nice. Still haven't heard back from Tucows reseller so if I have to take the nuclear option I'll definitely be using Porkbun. I'll likely use it even if I get access to the domain again after this, and the likelihood increases by the hour.
