Very happy/relieved to announce that we have finished moving the domain to a better DNS registrar for our needs, which should ensure that the short outage we had two weeks ago will never happen again. This should be the most exciting thing we will ever have to tell you about the DNS registrar.

Update on Bing: The block seems to have been removed! Sites are slowly starting to re-index. Special thanks to @ashleybelanger.bsky.social for this really helpful article and visibility. We now have a direct contact at Microsoft we're communicating with to see how this can be prevented again.

Seriously can't believe how cool the stuff y'all make is, just mind blowing.
