And the saga reaches a conclusion. I called a friend who was supposed to have a friend involved with the reseller for my Tucows registered domain, and it turns out that the friend I called is the person involved with that, and they explained that the reason my autorenewal didn't happen when it was supposed to and that I also couldn't log in was because Tucows notified him that they were updating their storefront, and that update included trashing everything and he had to reset things and add another email address and I was able to go in and renew. I still might switch my stuff to Porkbun because this has been completely unacceptable, but I can contact Namecheap and let them know I've regained access and so we don't need to go through the whole verify ID thing. I think tonight may be beer night as well. We'll see though.

Just FYI though going on an eye-removal spree would be horribly inefficient. I mean, not that getting the abled world to give a fuck about accessibility, and this absolutely includes the left, at anything other than a performance level, has been anything close to efficient or useful or anything approaching actual progress, but still.

@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.

@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.

@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.

You guys, live chat online with an AI bot is the absolute worst. 1 of 5 stars, do not recommend. Good thing I'm starting the migrate-to-a-new-domain process now though because so far no joy from tucows and I'm getting suspicious that they're going to blow me off so I've got to switch some things until the 30-day grace period is over and then decide what to do with the 30-day redemption period, or decide if I just want to let the domain in question go. The hardest part of this is the migrating the email part though because I can just get the domain with another extension and site branding will still work with some slight changes. Yeah, tonight is beer night. And going forward, I will be using Porkbun for everything.

@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.
