Stuff moves on, I didn’t know the whois protocol was getting deprecated.

Ran a whois and got this

Replaced with something called rdap. Frustrating searching for rdap utility, kept auto correcting to rdp.

Anyway I asked chatgpt and it give my some python code to use

#!/usr/bin/python3
import argparse
import requests
import sys

def rdap_lookup(domain):
    try:
        # Query the IANA Bootstrap service to find the RDAP URL for the domain
        tld = domain.split('.')[-1]
        bootstrap_url = f"https://data.iana.org/rdap/dns.json"
        bootstrap_data = requests.get(bootstrap_url).json()

        rdap_urls = bootstrap_data['services']
        rdap_base_url = None

        for service in rdap_urls:
            if tld in service[0]:
                rdap_base_url = service[1][0]
                break

        if not rdap_base_url:
            raise Exception(f"No RDAP server found for TLD: {tld}")

        # Query the RDAP server for the domain
        rdap_response = requests.get(f"{rdap_base_url}domain/{domain}")
        rdap_response.raise_for_status()

        data = rdap_response.json()
        print(f"\nRDAP Information for {domain}:\n")
        print(f"Handle: {data.get('handle')}")
        print(f"Status: {', '.join(data.get('status', []))}")
        print(f"Nameservers: {[ns['ldhName'] for ns in data.get('nameservers', [])]}")
        print(f"Entities: {[entity.get('handle') for entity in data.get('entities', [])]}")
        print(f"Events:")
        for event in data.get('events', []):
            print(f"  - {event['eventAction']}: {event['eventDate']}")
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Error: {e}")

# Example usage
if __name__ == "__main__":
    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description="Perform RDAP domain lookup.")
    parser.add_argument("domain", help="Domain name to look up (e.g. example.com)")
    args = parser.parse_args()

    rdap_lookup(args.domain)

Works well.

Got some new toys today trying to get ahead of the tariffs, to round out my emergency kit I got

• USB Powered Walkie talkies
• AAA Battery powered ones as well

Another buy before tariff purchase was some higher end USB PCIe cards

As for weight loss, I need to start somewhere. Did go to gym today for 30 minutes of Cardio

Weight: 342.4
