shaunpud··on _for-sale DNS records
I discovered this because someone was nice enough to create a website which lists these things, which are very relevant, and has an RSS feed.

shaunpud··on Show HN: I built a tool that watches webpages and exposes changes as RSS
Does your project use changedetection.io behind the scenes? When I look at the _All Watches Feed_ the contents of the rss file include;

    <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
    <rss xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/" version="2.0"><channel><title></title><link>https://changedetection.io</link><description>Feed description</description><docs>http://www.rssboard.org/rss-specification</docs><generator>python-feedgen</generator><lastBuildDate>Thu, 12 Mar 2026 10:10:10 +0000</lastBuildDate></channel></rss>
