My main domain name turned 24 years old today. That feels weird.

@anth I actually don't have a clue how old my public-facing domain is 🤣 I have another more personal one that's probably around ~15 years, but I'm not even sure how to check tbh 😅

According to a very old email one of my more personal family domains was registered in 2013 making it 12 years old, so I was closed 🤣 my public facing one is much much older 🤣

@anth Congrats, that's pretty cool! Quite some time, I'm impressed.

@prologic You'll sometimes find the "Creation Date" in whois. Our domain was registered in 2009. Woah. That's also been a while, crazy.

Yeah I can't figure out when I registered shortcircuit.net.au 😭

@anth 24 years is quite a long time. 😳 My blog domain is from 2006 (still, almost 20 years, oof).

@anth happy birthday, “youngster!”

Domain Name: NETBROS.COM Registry Domain ID: 1193243_DOMAIN_COM-VRSN Registrar WHOIS Server: whois.cloudflare.com Registrar URL: https://www.cloudflare.com Updated Date: 2025-03-29T04:08:33Z Creation Date: 1998-04-29T04:00:00Z

@bender I'm not sure this is accurate, if you lookup mine:

$ whois shortcircuit.net.au 2>&1 | grep -i creat
created:      1986-03-05

I think this has to be the registrar's creation date no? 🤔

@prologic I will pull the email. The year is about right.

@bender How do you explain mine then? Unless it was registered before me, then let go of and I re-registered it later? 🤔
