I thought the same until I started looking:

Name Server: NS-225.AWSDNS-28.COM Name Server: NS-1411.AWSDNS-48.ORG Name Server: NS-1914.AWSDNS-47.CO.UK Name Server: NS-556.AWSDNS-05.NET

At least for DNS. Data center appears to be Lightedge.

Or expired domains which I suppose is related?

An OnlyFans case that is ongoing now the plaintiffs attorneys made a filling with i believe entirely fabricated case references:

> The table above does not reflect our renewed cloud hosting agreement with a third-party provider, entered into on May 31, 2025. Under the terms of the non-cancellable agreement, we committed to purchase a minimum of $545.0 million in cloud hosting services over the next five years. This renewed agreement replaces a previous agreement with the provider.

$300k/DAY AWS bill. I wonder what the "non-cancellable" savings is.

I've been using https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html for years now. Any major benefits to either of these?

"FTC Bans Location Data Company" no not really.

As I skim that it just feels like a pile of shit that does nothing but create a few jobs to make reports. It doesn't bind the management. They can literally go do the same thing tomorrow.

Oh wait... "Gravy Analytics is now part of Unacast!"

Why isn't Unacast a party? Where is the monetary fine?

I've been bitching about GasBuddy since at least 2018 (I'm sure even further I'm too lazy to keep looking).

I've pretty much deleted all apps. I'm working on dumping my phone all together but shit like mandated 2FA is screwing that up.

> At trial, the Backpage defendants were barred from bringing up a 2013 memo by federal prosecutors who examined the site and said at the time that they hadn’t uncovered evidence of a pattern of recklessness toward minors or admissions from key participants that the site was being used for prostitution.

> A Government Accountability Office report released in June noted that the FBI’s ability to identify victims and sex traffickers had decreased significantly after Backpage was seized by the government because law enforcement was familiar with the site and Backpage was generally responsive to requests for information.

Reminds me of a case in Utah of a guy charged with defrauding a bank for doing exactly what the bank told him to do. Couldn't introduce the email of the bank telling him to do that during trial. I'm not sure how anyone is OK with stuff like this.

This.

I was a fly on the wall for a conversation with someone who runs a 12k seat venue. They guaranteed Harry Styles $5 million for 2 nights and made it work because.... "secondary". Even the venues are in on the scalping.

My money is on expired domain somewhere or security certificate.
I requested my report and it was really bizarre how they delivered it. Half was snail mailed and half was some time limited link to access online.

Not sure if this was just me or a thing with them.
