Hi!

I have noticed that on my domain when i run whois <domain> it returns a lot of information such as registrar name, abuse contact, creation date... even though i paid extra for "whois privacy." Then i found that for other domains whois returns a paltry amount of information such as "Malformed request." or just repeats the domain name and has "status: UNASSIGNABLE". specifically, one .fail domain and one .it domain. HOWEVER, those minimal whois records for the .it and .fail domains still have valid PTR entries that i can lookup publicly online.

HERE IS THE QUESTION: i want to buy a domain for the sole purpose of having a single A record that points to a corresponding PTR record on the VPS provider. however, i prefer to have the whois record be as minimal as the 2 examples i gave above. how are those whois entries so sparse?

I am doing all this with the goal of hosting a tor exit node. any help is greatly appreciated! have a lovely day!

Bisq Exchange is sublime (programming.dev)

I was floored by how intimate it feels to buy bitcoin on this platform.

If you have not already used Bisq and you ever need a quick $500 (or less) in BTC i 10/10 recommend. (if you do not have any bitcoin start with Bisq2 the fees are way higher but once you get a little BTC you can use it as deposit to start buying on Bisq).

anyways, thats just my 2 cents Have a most peaceful day!

Howdy! I already have some programming experience - i have taken 2 undergraduate-level courses in C - namely Computer Architecture an Operating Systems. My main interest in wanting to learn is that Rust seems to offer huge security benefits as compared to C.

Also if anyone knows a great beginner reference book please lmk! Peace out!
