---------------------------------------- Geektools has shutdown June 04th, 2023 ---------------------------------------- I just noticed that whois.geektools.com and geektools.com both return NXDOMAIN now... Checking the internet archive, they had posted a notice on their site back in May stating that they had ended the service: geektools.com has shut down. We started this service in 1998 as the first smart whois that would automatically query the correct server(s) to get the data you need. A lot has changed since then and it's time to move on. Most modern command line clients on *nix-like systems will select the appropriate whois server. Check your system's man page ("man whois" for those of you who don't know what a man page is). If you prefer to use a browser interface there are many sites that perform the same function and they're easy to find with your favorite search engine. It's been a good run, and thanks for using this service over the years. - the geektools team This is kind of devastating to me since I seem to ALWAYS be on a machine that has a shitty whois client that doesn't automatically pick the correct server all the time... I had been in the habit of always doing my whois queries like `whois -h whois.geektools.com whatever' ---------------------------------------- (DIR) Back to phlog index (DIR) gopher.zcrayfish.soy gopher root This phlog entry has been read 2118 times.
