"whois linux.portland.or.us" has no data. "whois portland.or.us" leads to the org that delegated linux to us.

Uh oh. .us does not allow for an anonymous whois identity listing. You'll find a sharp increase in scammer telephone calls to the number on the listing. I had to abandon my domain .us registration and assign the name, address and phone number to one in Reykjavík. The scammer calls stopped after about a week. -gbk On Tue, Jun 9, 2026, 10:21 PM Russell Senior <[email protected]> wrote:I mentioned this at the PLUG meeting last week, but I will mention it here as well. Through a series of shenanigans, we have recently come into the "possession" (or delegation, if you prefer) of the domain name: linux.portland.or.us. DNS is configured, the letsencrypt certificate is configured, and the website is configured to use either: pdxlinux.org www.pdxlinux.org linux.portland.or.us www.linux.portland.or.us And, at least for me, it seems to work. This is intended for now, to be a fun experiment. Email is not configured for the new domain yet. Let me know if you notice anything wonky. -- Russell Senior PLUG Volunteer [email protected]
