Just think how great it would be for the government to own all of it, Sam. Maybe it'll happen despite what you want, it's not like this is a slippery slope or anything, buddy.
Fucking well yes. I guess it's based on git and that's not a thing, but dammit that's annoying. I just blackhole my commits to public projects behind a fake GH account and email. Which doesn't encourage a lot of followup on my drive-bys, unfortunately.
That was a .com moving over to I think EasyDNS. They could expedite the domain transfer around the lock if I could prove I had DNS access. Might have done that moving to NameCheap too on another one.
This was a few years ago too, everything has gotten stupid in the last few years. Maybe they won't do that without a dispensation from the Pope and a notarized clean bill of health from the STD clinic.
You can usually do a domain transfer from a non-responding registrar if you can prove you have DNS control. It's a manual process, but I've had to do it. It's proved it's worth to me to have them separated. Now, you might be down for a while, but you don't have to go through a lengthy documentation process if you have DNS control.
In any other shithole country with these problems, the world would deploy UN observers to help keep your elections fair. I think it's going to have to get worse to get better.
It's a vote on something that the government must pass to keep control, such as a budget; if they don't get the votes, then it's "no confidence in this government" therefore now the GG calls the rest of the leaders in to try to form another government. If that fails, then the GG forces an election. Elections are entirely separate from governance and changing the rules is very difficult so it doesn't get fucked up easily.
Okular.
