Toot

I am going to let go the domain name https://snow-on-gpu.online because it is too expensive. I refuse to pay so much for an art piece and will reconsider buying domain names for new projects in the future. After some thoughts I think this is a form of fetishism that refers to nothing but an expensive supermarket of words.

@raphael Buy one domain and use subdomains per project/art piece. That way the cost is fixed no matter how many.

@pmevzek Yes that is what I am doing for most of my projects, but some projects needs to have a stronger identity and domain names were a way to make them singular, at least that what I thought.

@raphael I let most of my domains go last year. I had a lot for art reasons too and was counting in my head how much money over the last 20 years I have wasted on ICANN landlordism and I was like fuck that. I am now just keeping wake.st (my namesake domain hack) and putting everything on subdomains of that.
