• delete/giveup lathama.us, jeh.gallery, stubborn.family
• note that lathama.com and gringomalvado.com are not moved to namesilo yet as transfers have a 60 day timeout
  • gringomalvado.com should transfer automatically on 2023-09-30 and the transfer is already paid for

Lazy notes for future me

• Auction pickup then back to domains
• Making Infrastructure/ToDo to work on
• Should write up a DNS howto for large anycast setups as I guess my knowledge is still unique

2023-09-21

• Disabling DNSSEC on rest of domains for transition from Google Domains to NameSilo
  • Noting that NameSilo copies all records including DS records when transferring which cause issues.
  • stubborn.family, lathama.us, lathama.net, jeh.gallery have:
    • auto renew off
    • are unlocked
    • dnssec turned off (UI says it will take until 2023-09-23 to take effect)
• Lets encrypt certbot and apache configs for lathama.us, jeh.gallery, and stubborn.family removed
