xiconfjson Evolution of Whois Protocol to RDAP (2019)

The big problem there is no easy and consistent way to query RDAP because there are no clients in Debian or Ubuntu. There is one in the experimental stage [1] in Debian, so perhaps in Debian 14?

And yes, I know, there are Perl-Apps [2], Go-Apps [3] and so on which can be installed within minutes. But this extra step (including debugging which happens when compiling/installing from source) isn't going to help RDAP to get traction.

xiconfjson So you want to build your own data center

Sure, every business has confidential agreements which are usually kept secret but there are even on youtube a few people/companies who gave deep insides in the bits and bytes of building a data center from ground up across multiple hours of documentation. And the confidential business agreements in the data center world are up to a certain level the same as any other businesses.

xiconfjson So you want to build your own data center

I have to second this. While it takes mich effort and in-depth knowledge do build up from an “empty” cage it’s still far from dealing with everything from building permits, to plan and realize a data center to code including redundant power lines, AC and fibre.

Still kudos going this path in the cloud-centric time we live in.

"Depending on voltage level and construction details, HVDC transmission losses are quoted at 3.5% per 1,000 km (620 mi), about 50% less than AC (6.7%) lines at the same voltage." [1]
