btremI wasn't actually shopping for an .io domain (though I have given it a passing thought from time to time). I just logged into my registrar and noticed the pricing disparity.
omz13[tantek] Has anybody bothered to calculate how much (environmental) cost is associated with TPAC going back to in-person instead of hybrid or remote?
[tantek]omz13 it is hybrid. Remote TPAC didn't really work. Similarly remote WG "meetings" don't work well either (people get tired like 3x faster, more arguments etc). That's a whole separate blog post
[tantek]mhoye! checking email now. also you should invite [snarfed] who has expressed some interest (and is the creator of Bridgy & Bridgy Fed which literally do Federated data transfer, across heterogenous systems, perhaps the most prominent such implementation) https://chat.indieweb.org/dev/2023-09-20#t1695231051964000
