PIR, the Public Interest Registry ("Based in Reston, Virginia, Public Interest Registry is a nonprofit organization created by the Internet Society to manage the .ORG domain."), seems to have put autistici.org on status serverHold and that is why you cannot resolve their name anymore. This is what can happen to your .org domain name when the Trump administration decides to add you to the OFAC (Office of Foreign Assets Control) list.
@jwildeboer Are ccTLDs safe from this?
Trump burning yet more bridges, even less reason to trust US-based infrastructure.
@FediThing No. But TLDs that are not owned by registrars in the US might be a bit more resilient to such unlisting demands. Ultimately though, DNS is centralised under ICANN, which is in the US.
@jwildeboer Geez 😞 If they continue pulling plugs on foreign sites that have done nothing wrong, it's going to call into question the entire domain name system. Could we start using just IP numbers? 🤔
@Mourioche That already exists since many years, the alt-root movement. But that has always stayed a niche thing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_DNS_root @FediThing
