It is really interesting why he is in prison. Basically for attending a tech conference in North Korea. Frankly, this reminds me of the Soviet times.
No organization should tie their infrastructure maintenance to individuals, but processes are really hard to consolidate and automate and knowledge is not easily shared either.
Curious as to how other people approach reducing their bus factor.

I like to keep important domains paid up many years in advance. Some TLDs don't allow this. I wonder if .link is one of those.
Hey thanks, GoDaddy for releasing a statement[0] instead of fixing the problem. They literally choose this over siding with the customer and their lawyer. [0] https://aboutus.godaddy.net/newsroom/company-news/news-detai...

> In September, Griffith pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to violate international sanctions against North Korea. Griffith was arrested in November 2019 after giving a talk at a cryptocurrency conference in Pyongyang in April of that year.
> “What you see here is an intentionality…and a desire to educate people on how to evade sanctions,” [U.S. District Judge Kevin] Castel said.
> Judge Castel read a series of text messages and emails from Griffith in which the defendant admits to sharing information with North Korea for the express purpose of helping the repressive Kim regime evade sanctions.
> What the judge found most damning, perhaps, was a photo of Griffith presenting at the conference, wearing a traditional North Korean suit and standing in front of a blackboard on which it read “No sanctions!” with a smiley face.

Earlier quoted context omitted.
There is no problem to 'fix'. The people who paid for eth.link domains do not own them, so GoDaddy has zero obligation to even acknowledge their existence. Hell, they're lucky they even got a statement at all, if I was them I'd just start selling off the domains slowly while I watch Twitter melt down.
> if I was them I'd just start selling off the domains slowly while I watch Twitter melt down. Why do something you know to be bad and will lead to many people being angry? Why not... be nice and helpful?
When you put a transaction on the Bitcoin blockchain, it will stay there forever. You don't have to renew it.
Why not the same for domains? You put "mydomain > 111.222.333.444 signed: me, the mydomain owner" on a blockchain and as long as you do not put another signed message that overrides it, it points to 111.222.333.444 forever.
