Aaaand. Back pain has returned. We. Are. NOT. Pleased. Currently working on trying to up the efficacy of my superpower by doing what needs to be done, and when there’s a spike, telling myself, “It’s only pain,” and keep on with whatever it is I’m doing. Let it be known that I’m not doing the wire act, and certainly not the trapeze.
The local post office gives me to understand that the Perambulating Package is on the route jeep and scheduled for delivery at my house today.
Yeah. We’ve heard that before.
A question for the Tech Folk, Internet Domain Division. If someone has registered a domain through a wholesale service and “can make any changes to the domain” that they wish to make, does that not make them the owner of that domain, regardless of if they allow someone else to register the domain with a provider, post content and act in all ways as if that name belonged to them? That the person registering the domain can, in theory, and at any time, evict the person using that nameserver?
Spanish Aunts.
…it seems that standing up is the current correct position insofar as my back is concerned, so I’ll be bringing the pages I have left to read of the WIP to the standing desk for perusal.
I have Tali in position under the standing desk in my office, and Rook in his box on the edge of the big desk, where he can get the breeze from the open windows, it being a nice enough day, so far.
What’s happening with you, today?
Today’s blog post title brought to you by .38 Special, “If I’d been the one.”
I am so sorry you have this back pain! It seems unfair that it ambushes you when you are contributing so much. I believe your back pain is coming from your back, but a few months ago I had severe back pain that rose, fell, spiked, backed off totally unpredictabley for 10 day. A doc said “take ibuprofin”. Then the pain spiked, moved to my hip, it went away. My other doc thinks it was probably a kidney stone. TMI sorry. Sometimes a second, third, opinion helps. I am in NO way comparing pain, or diagnosing. You are the expert on you. I just wish you the best.
In re. domain registration. When a domain is registered a name and address and email are entered. This is the person who fundamentally “owns” the domain, regardless of who is using it.
When one person registers a domain for another, it can get awful if everything is not copacetic between the two. Being able to post content onto the server that responds to the domain name does not matter.
There are two types of DNS changes that might help clarify. The first is at the registrar, and is a setting “these are the nameservers for the domain”. The second is on those nameservers where the records like “www.domainname.com” are changed.
The first is very rarely changed, but indicative of who has access to the registrar system.
Sometimes people use the registrar for both.
These days most registration information is masked for privacy reasons, but there is generally some info that can be used to contact the registrant of record, aka the legal owner.
From a Pop_OS command line you should have the “whois” command, so “whois domainname.com” (not “whois http://www.domainname.com“) and all the lines starting with “Registrant …” are about the actual owner.
I hope this helps. If a random technical person you have never met can be of assistance, please reach out.
