Why is there no pure domain registrar?

I was just looking at SSD prices and wow, have they gone up! Last year in May I ordered a Crucial P5 Plus with 1 TB for 79,99 €. In the late summer of last year, the price was as low as 59,90 €. But now the lowest price I can find is 92,81 €, the second lowest is 134,28 €. 😱 Seems like I should wait a bit before buying a new drive to back up all the tape videos…

My English pronunciation can be improved — a lot. But now I can use Microsoft’s Reading Coach. This is a new AI tool for practicing reading (in English).

Using non-Apple hardware usually has one big advantage: Much better upgradeability.
Even though my laptop isn’t as modifiable as the Framework Laptop (it was a lot cheaper, though), I just upgraded its battery from the 36 watt-hour version to double that, 73 watt-hours. Pretty good for a 14" laptop, I think. Based on past battery performance, this new battery should easily last 10 hours of my typical usage.
Past upgrades: 16 GB to 40 GB memory, 512 GB to 1 TB storage.
Trying Spaceship.com

Some time ago, I somewhere read about Spaceship.com, a new player in the domain registration business, and registered an account to try it out. Some things kept me from transferring any domains to it (don’t really remember anymore, though), but it was also still in the beta phase back then.

mox Mail Server

I currently use Purelymail for email. It’s very cheap and does everything I need (“purely email”). I’m also happy that I’m free of all the headaches of having a good IP reputation and setting everything up so that my mail doesn’t end up in junk folders.
New professional website
Published on in 💬 Micro
I’m always programming on my blogging software, so today I decided to do something different. With the help of ChatGPT, which wrote the basic HTML and CSS template, I created a new resume website, which is basically a copy of everything I put on my LinkedIn profile.
I am not looking for a new job, but I was thinking about making better use of my jlelse.com domain, which I have already renewed for many more years. And that seems like a good idea.
And it was actually quite fun to write some basic HTML and CSS and host the site files on Bunny.net. There I use Bunny Storage, Bunny DNS and of course Bunny CDN. 🐰
As for my job: I finally passed the probationary period. 😄
