Homebrew, rbenv, rvm, to name a few. Never understood it either. If you could get ahold of a domain write a malicious script at /some-script.sh, you could do a lot of damage.
I agree that it feels insecure, but is there really a difference between this and downloading and running files from a .tar.gz or installing a .deb for example?

P.S. I need to listen to 5150 now!

apt-get:
$ ls -l /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/
$ wget http://nmap.org/dist/sigs/nmap-6.01.tgz.asc
$ wget http://nmap.org/dist/nmap-6.01.tgz
$ gpg nmap-6.01.tgz.ascI don't understand. It looks normal and works for me?
Wait half an hour or so, and flush your computer's DNS cache. Your ISP is probably caching the DNS entry.

Shouldn't be anything to worry about - here’s how the domain expiry process works. 1. Domain ‘expires’, and enters a 40 day grace period. I have read things that imply this can vary from registrar to registrar, but it seems pretty standard from what I have seen. 2. After the grace period, it enters a 30 day redemption period. Again, apparently this can vary, but I have yet to see it (admittedly I have only looked at…
Your numbers are off. Grace period (as you have pointed out somewhat) varies by registrar. The basis for what you are saying is how long a registrar has to delete the domain before they can get their money refunded. That time period is 45 days. So on the expiration date the registrar is automatically charged for the renewal. If they delete on day 45 (by a certain time depending on when registered) they will have thei…
Thanks for clearing up the redemption period invariability though.

Yes. apt-get: $ ls -l /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/ Source Installation: $ wget http://nmap.org/dist/sigs/nmap-6.01.tgz.asc $ wget http://nmap.org/dist/nmap-6.01.tgz $ gpg nmap-6.01.tgz.asc

The root cause here is that some stuff didn't get handed over properly in the switch from Ryan to me as Node.js manager. So, the emails were indeed going to a non-functioning inbox.
It's resolved now, and we're setting it up to auto-renew so that this doesn't happen again.

Yes you are correct about that... It happened to me once on an old domain and I was able to get it back in the following week after expiration but I don't recall seeing a parked page during that period of time. Doing a quick Whois for nodejs.org show that the name is expiring today: Domain ID:D157222203-LROR Domain Name:NODEJS.ORG Created On:29-Sep-2009 14:50:55 UTC Last Updated On:20-Sep-2011 00:04:23 UTC Expiration…
eNom does all kinds of shady shenanigans with domain renewals. There are stories of names going up on their auction block the moment the registration expires (meaning someone has to pay a greatly inflated amount of cash to reclaim the name)

Most certainly there is some sort of explanation, and whether or not it was a terrible mistake, being a jerk about it doesn't relieve you from the terrible mistakes you've made in your past - we all have them. And in the end, this is really not a big deal.
