Freenom and IPTI
I still haven’t heard anything back from Freenom. Just sharing some notes of what I found.
u/jweaver0312 shares an email received from Freenom:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Domains/comments/1uko56l/comment/oz3wy2p/I got a similar email too but my domains were reset to 01-01-2033
Thanks for reaching out, and I understand the concern about your domain(s).
A little background: the free domains offered under the previous operator, OpenTLD B.V., were extended for a period while the business was being transferred to a new operator. That transfer is now complete, and under the new operator, IPTI B.V., the free-domain tier is being discontinued. As part of this change, legacy free domains have been set to expire on 31 July 2026.
You can keep your domain(s) by renewing them as paid registrations before that date. Please log in at freenom.com, go to Services → Renew Domains, and complete the purchase there. The cost is €9.95 per year.
Kind regards, Support team
Based on some preliminary searches, I believe “IPTI B.V.” is “INTERNET PAYMENT TECHNOLOGY INSTITUTE B.V.”
Based on company records of the French government, we can see in addition to its Haarlem address (which I sent a letter to in my previous post), there is also a French address “54 RUE SMOLLETT 06300 NICE”. A director named “Jeremie GODRECHE” is also listed.
Searching for this name, I found a news article from 2015: https://www.digitalnewsasia.com/digital-economy/freenom-launches-ml-domain-in-malaysia-expects-business-to-boom. It describes Jeremie Godreche as “Freenom COO”.
So I guess, “meet the new boss, same as the old boss.”

The (Possible) End of an Era - A Story about Freenom
TLDR: There is a good chance I will lose my domain name, adrianiainlam.tk, after 2026-07-31. If you want to see my stuff after this date, save my alternate email addresses now, and email me (cantab or gmail) if you can’t find my page next month. If you’re still reading this on adrianiainlam.tk after this date, then whew, everything worked out fine.
Background
Freenom maintains the registry for the .tk ccTLD (and a few others). As their company name suggests, they used to give out most of their .tk domain names for free, with the condition that they must be manually renewed every year. They made their money with “premium” names, as well as registrations of generic TLDs.
Meta, the bully
Because most domain names were free, inevitably it attracted some abusers. Meta (Facebook), for some odd reason, decided to hold Freenom accountable for said abusers, and sued Freenom for half a billion in damages for alleged typosquatting and trademark infringement. See, e.g., https://domainincite.com/29520-freenom-settles-500-million-meta-lawsuit-and-will-exit-domain-business.
Let’s be clear: this is absolutely insane. This is like suing Royal Mail for assigning postcodes to allegedly fraudulent businesses. Domain names have always been first come first served. If abusers are actively phishing and infringing trademarks, fine, sue them. There is no sane reason for an entity that registers DNS records to be involved in said lawsuit.
Alas, Meta is a big strong bully, and Freenom is a small company. They buckled under pressure and “settled” the lawsuit, and announced they will exit the domain registration business.
But what about the legitimate users?
I don’t remember the exact date and time, but following Freenom’s surrender, my domain names didn’t resolve for about 2 days.
I sent an email to Freenom about this at 2024-02-10T16:43:17Z. Two days later, the issue was fixed:
From: Freenom Support <info@freenom.com> Subject: Apologies for the inconvenience. Your domains are working again. Date: Mon, 12 Feb 2024 11:16:28 +0000 (UTC) To: <redacted> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Dear registrant, We have changed the PENDING status of your domains to AUTHORIZED. To ensure that this doesn't happen again we have registered the domains as 'Paid Domains' in our systems. Rest assured, you don't need to pay anything, they are 'paid for' for the next 9 years. Thank you for using Freenom. Kind regards, Freenom SupportSubsequently, I could see the domain expiry date set to 2033. There is still the looming question of what would happen when the time comes – similar to the 1997 and 2047 problems of Hong Kong – but for the time being, all was well.
Sudden renewal notice
At the start of this month I suddenly received a renewal notice:
Date: Wed, 01 Jul 2026 07:14:41 +0000 (UTC) From: Freenom <info@freenom.com> Subject: Upcoming Domain Renewal Notice MIME-Version: 1.0 Reply-To: Freenom <info@freenom.com> To: Adrian Iain Lam <redacted> Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="b1_6cyoFAZfW7VAB3CcI3YhRRpNSo3ZqVvXhZMpwIlnE" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --b1_6cyoFAZfW7VAB3CcI3YhRRpNSo3ZqVvXhZMpwIlnE Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Dear Adrian Iain Lam, The domain(s) listed below are due to expire within the next 30 days. adrianiainlam.tk - 31/07/2026 (30 Days) To ensure the domain does not expire, you should renew it now. You can do this from the domains management section of our client area here: https://my.freenom.com/ Should you allow the domain to expire, you will be able to renew it for up to 30 days after the renewal date.

Freenom - A Name for Everyone --b1_6cyoFAZfW7VAB3CcI3YhRRpNSo3ZqVvXhZMpwIlnEThis came as a surprise but not a shock. I completely sympathise with the fact that, after the lost legal battle, they may need some sort of financial support. They were asking for 10 USD per domain name per year, and honestly, having used my currently domain name for free for almost 10 years, the price felt reasonable. But, I was also slightly sceptical about the sudden charge. I thought it could have been a repeat of what happened two years ago. So I decided to renew for just one year and see how it goes. I completed the payment within the same hour:
From: Verotel Billing Solutions <livesupport@verotel.com> Reply-To: livesupport@verotel.com To: <redacted> Subject: Your Receipt Date: Wed, 01 Jul 2026 07:56:16 +0000 (UTC) =0D Dear A I LAM=0D Thank you for your order Freenom - Invoice #<redacted> at:=0D =0D http://www.freenom.com=0D =0D Placed on 01-Jul-2026 07:56:16 UTC timezone.=0D Amount USD 10.35.=0D =0D This transaction was successful and is now being processed by http://www.fr= eenom.com=0D =0D =0D 'vtsup.com*Internet P' will appear on your credit card =0D or bank statement as the beneficiary of this transaction.=0D =0D Should you have any questions concerning your order, please refer =0D all non-billing questions to support section at http://www.freenom.com.=0D =0D For billing enquiries, quote your order number and =0D contact livesupport@verotel.com. =0D =0D Kind regards,=0D =0D Verotel Support =0D =0D =0D ---------------------------------------------------------------------------= -----------------------=0DMy bank also shows the amount deducted in my credit card statement:
However, TO THIS DAY (2026-07-21), Freenom’s online portal still says my invoice is unpaid and my domain name will expire by the end of the month.
I tried to contact Freenom about this on multiple occasions.
I wrote a support ticket on their online portal, 24 hours after my payment, and subsequently followed it up a week later.
I sent emails to Freenom, once to support@freenom.com on 2026-07-03 and once to info@freenom.com on 2026-07-07.
I even sent a physical letter to Freenom’s office (ignore the wrong date on the post office stamp).
Which they have received and signed for.
So far, the only “response” I have received from Freenom is (presumably) an automated email, which is basically the same as the first renewal notice except “30 days” is replaced with “15 days”.

Freenom - A Name for EveryoneOther than that, I have heard nothing from Freenom. The invoice is still “unpaid”, and my domain still expires by the end of the month.
Other users
There is, of course, a Reddit post with multiple users having similar issues. https://www.reddit.com/r/Domains/comments/1uko56l/no_longer_free_freenom_domains/.
On the same day as my “15 days remaining” email, at least three users (who presumably have not paid to renew) received emails from Freenom saying their domains have been restored to 2033.
u/DoktorXNetWork
Just recived email from them
“Hi,
During a recent system cleanup, your special domain extension accidentally got reset.
We have manually fixed this, and your domain is now safely restored to 2033 at no cost. You do not need to make any payments or take any further action.
Thank you so much for your patience and understanding while we resolved this.
Kind regards,
Support team”
u/jweaver0312
I got the same email, though I’m starting to migrate to a new domain now anyhow, might as well get ahead of the program
u/asha009
I got the same mail! Support freenom not dead! And this good news. I hope this change for 2033 year will be really work!
On the other hand, users who have paid to renew do not seem to have such luck.
u/JasperNLxD2
I paid the invoice but it’s never processed >:( Anyone has any info?
u/xmtscf
I’m experiencing the same issue. I was even considering generating a new invoice and paying again, but I’ve realized I would probably just lose more money and still lose my domain.
u/xmtscf even shared his response from Freenom saying that a renewal fee is required to keep the domain.

Laura StaffHi ****,
Thank you for contacting Freenom Support.
Please note that Freenom has permanently discontinued its free domain tier. As part of this final transition, any remaining free domain registrations have had their expiration dates adjusted to July 31, 2026, which marks the official end of the free service tier.
To keep your domains active beyond this date, they must be transitioned into paid registrations, which is why a renewal fee is now required.
If you wish to maintain these domains, you will need to complete the paid renewal process through your account dashboard before the July 31, 2026 deadline.
Kind regards,
Support team
Why they’re helping their free users, but ignoring their paying customers, I have no idea.
Going forward
I have zero idea whether I can keep my domain name next month. If I can’t, well, it’s been a nice (almost) ten years. I’ll probably register another domain name, but it will be a pain to set everything up again. I can probably get my bank to reverse the credit card payment (so I don’t understand why Freenom is doing this to me – just to scam $10 from me for a month before I reverse it?).
I’ll try to keep this blog updated if I hear anything back, but at this point I’m not holding my breath.

Codegolf - Reverse NATO phonetic alphabet
A long time ago, I used to visit Codegolf Stack Exchange regularly, and took part in a few contests. Due to certain reasons, I have decided not to contribute to the Stack Exchange network anymore, but I recently came across a codegolf contest that looked interesting, so I thought I’d post my solution in my blog instead.
The post is linked here, but to summarise, the task is to convert a string spelled out in NATO phonetic alphabet, without any delimiter, back to a string spelled normally, so for example, from “ECHOXRAYALFAMIKEPAPALIMAECHO” to “EXAMPLE”.
I decided to attempt this in the RISC-V ISA, for no particular reason other than that I have been using it at work. My current score is 52 bytes.
A few details before getting to the code:
- Instead of a full program handling I/O, I will only be implementing a function, using the standard RISC-V ABI.
- I am using the 32-bit ISA with the Zca and Zcb extensions.
- I will assume C strings (i.e. NUL-terminated array of chars) in ASCII.
- I will assume the caller has allocated a sufficiently large output buffer.
My solution relies on the fact that all phonetic alphabets start with the letter it represents, for example, ALFA starts with A, BRAVO starts with B. So all it needs to do is know how long each phonetic alphabet is, and just copy the first letter and skip over the rest.
Here’s the assembly:
.globl revnato revnato: la a3, revnato_data - 65 revnato_loop: lbu a2, 0(a0) sb a2, 0(a1) beqz a2, revnato_ret add a2, a2, a3 lbu a2, 0(a2) add a0, a0, a2 addi a1, a1, 1 j revnato_loop revnato_ret: ret revnato_data: .byte 4,5,7,5,4,7,4,5,5,7,4,4,4,8,5,4,6,5,6,5,7,6,7,4,6,4If you’re not familiar with the syntax, all operations are in the form
opcode destination operandoropcode destination operand1 operand2.Here,
a0is expected to contain the input string, anda1the output buffer. We first load the address (la) of a lookup table toa3. This table is the string length of each phonetic alphabet. The- 65will be explained later.In the loop, we first load one unsigned byte (
lbu) ata0[0]intoa2, and store that byte (sb) intoa1[0], i.e. copy the first character. We exit from the loop (and return from the function) if the byte is NUL (beqz: branch if equal to zero).If non-zero, we compute the index for the lookup table. The unoptimised way would be to subtract
'A'(ASCII 65) from the byte, and then add it to the lookup table address. To optimise this, I have moved the “subtract 65” to the address itself, so that we can just adda3toa2. We then dereference the address by loading the unsigned byte.*We then increment the input pointer by the lookup table entry, and increment the output pointer by 1, and loop.
*: Note that another way to optimise it would be to leave the
a3address as is, and dolbu a2, -65(a2)instead. This may be more readable, but actually produces bigger code, because-65is outside the range of the 16-bitlbuimmediate opcode range (see RISC-V Zcb), so a 32-bitlbuhas to be used instead.This can be compiled to an object file with:
YOUR-TOOLCHAIN-gcc -mabi=ilp32e -march=rv32emzca_zcb -c -o revnato.o revnato.sWe can look at the disassembly to check the binary size:†
YOUR-TOOLCHAIN-objdump -S revnato.o > revnato.dump00000000 <revnato>: 0: 00000697 auipc a3,0x0 4: 00068693 mv a3,a3 00000008 <revnato_loop>: 8: 8110 lbu a2,0(a0) a: 8990 sb a2,0(a1) c: c611 beqz a2,18 <revnato_ret> e: 9636 add a2,a2,a3 10: 8210 lbu a2,0(a2) 12: 9532 add a0,a0,a2 14: 0585 addi a1,a1,1 16: bfcd j 8 <revnato_loop> 00000018 <revnato_ret>: 18: 8082 ret 0000001a <revnato_data>: 1a: 05070504 .word 0x05070504 1e: 05040704 .word 0x05040704 22: 04040705 .word 0x04040705 26: 04050804 .word 0x04050804 2a: 05060506 .word 0x05060506 2e: 04070607 .word 0x04070607 32: 0406 .short 0x0406Note that the
mv a3,a3, which looks like a NOP, is actually space reserved for a relocation. This is because we are only creating an object file without linking, so the address ofrevnato_datais not yet known. You can prove this by generating a linked ELF withYOUR-TOOLCHAIN-gcc -mabi=ilp32e -march=rv32emzca_zcb -o revnato.elf revnato.s -nostdliband observing in that disassembly that the instruction has now changed, for example, toaddi a3,a3,-39.†: Alternatively, we can just run
readelf -S revnato.oand look at the size field of .text.Finally, just for completeness, an example C program to call this function:
#include <stdio.h> void revnato(const char *, char *); int main(void) { const char *in = "ECHOXRAYALFAMIKEPAPALIMAECHO"; char out[100]; revnato(in, out); puts(out); return 0; }Preview clipped. Expand | Read full post in new tab

Firefox custom search engine - search.json.mozlz4
So I have an ancient custom search engine XML that was broken by remote API changes. In trying to fix it, I inadvertently had it deleted from search.json.mozlz4, and have to figure out how to add it back.
This is basically a rewrite of this post by Frederick Zhang. That post is excellent, but there have been some changes since 2018. The following is tested on the latest stable Firefox (138.0.1).
First download this Python script. Use it to decompress search.json.mozlz4 (located in the Firefox profile directory):
python3 mozlz4a.py -d search.json.mozlz4 search.jsonOptionally, format it with
python3 -m json.tool.Add a new object to the
"engines"array. My example for Startpage with custom params:{ "id": "38c37483-6e61-4f86-bfaf-2b99ed7d8464", "_name": "Startpage (Unfiltered)", "_loadPath": "[profile]/searchplugins/startpage-unfiltered.xml", "_iconMapObj": { "16": "data:image/x-icon;base64,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" }, "_metaData": { "loadPathHash": "<SEE BELOW>", "alias": "sp", "hideOneOffButton": false, "order": 8 }, "_urls": [ { "params": [ { "name": "query", "value": "{searchTerms}" }, { "name": "cat", "value": "web" }, { "name": "lui", "value": "english" }, { "name": "prfe", "value": "c774daad5dd23ae2db70252aa321b9354508577d11ee4a79664d62c5d56672dd946c593d0daa5e9f3e7d1ebafaf773669d191e7b802605a743232b31a2254feeccf8ccc0f306bf45f8fa73f3" } ], "rels": [], "template": "https://www.startpage.com/sp/search", "method": "POST" } ], "_orderHint": null, "_telemetryId": null, "_filePath": "<ABSOLUTE PATH TO PROFILE DIRECTORY>/searchplugins/startpage-unfiltered.xml", "_definedAliases": [], "_updateInterval": null, "_updateURL": null }I assume the

It is to be pasted into the Browser Console, then called with
getVerificationHash("<VALUE IN _loadPath>", "<ABSOLUTE PATH TO PROFILE DIRECTORY>"). The second argument is required if you are running on a different profile.The
"order"is just whichever unused number that comes next.Save this, then compress it again with:
python3 mozlz4a.py search.json search.json.mozlz4.Finally, create a backup of the original search.json.mozlz4, and replace it with the new one.

Manjaro PinePhone no sound after October 2023 update
After running a software upgrade yesterday (10 October 2023) with
sudo pacman -Syu, my PinePhone ended up with no sound.See this post on the Manjaro forum for my fix. To summarize:
- I downgraded everything by following the “Downgrading all upgraded packages” section in this article (parsing /var/log/pacman.log and restoring from /var/cache/pacman/pkg/), and uninstalled alsa-ucm-pinephone. I then re-upgraded and manually reinstalled alsa-ucm-pinephone, and it just magically worked.
- I suspect an easier fix will be to just edit
/usr/share/alsa/ucm2/conf.d/simple-card/PinePhone.conf
and only keep
Syntax 2and theSectionUseCase."HiFi"andSectionUseCase."Voice Call"sections, and remove everything else.

LibDem misleading bar chart
LibDem MP Daisy Cooper’s newsletter for St Albans contains a misleading bar chart where a 0% bar will have a height of 6 mm (i.e. the baseline of the chart is at -3.5%). In other words, if you stack LAB’s 9% and CON’s 39% (total 48%), it will be taller than LIBDEM’s 50%.

PinePhone (Manjaro Phosh) automatic suspend bug
On 2023-06-06 I ran a system upgrade on my PinePhone (running Manjaro Phosh) using
pacman -Syu. Afterwards, automatic suspend stopped working.The symptoms
If you are in the lock screen and have the display turned off (this can due to automatic blank screen, or due to manually pressing the power button), then shortly before the automatic suspend timeout, the notification blue LED will light up.
Previously (before the upgrade), if you ignore the notification, after reaching the timeout, the notification will be cleared, and the PinePhone will be suspended. If you turn on the screen before it suspended, it will very briefly show a notification that the phone will be automatically suspended. However the notification will clear itself almost immediately.
After the upgrade, the notification LED stays on, and the phone does not suspend. When the screen is turned on again, it will always display the notification (which will clear itself very quickly). Most notably, because it does not actually suspend, the battery drains itself within a few hours. I’d go to work in the morning (unplugging from the charger at 08:30), arrive back home at 18:00 and the phone has already turned itself off.
The solution
This has been provided by @alaraajavamma:urheiluaki.org from #pinephone.
gsettings set sm.puri.phosh.notifications wakeup-screen-triggers []Note that this needs to be run on a terminal on the PinePhone. It does not work via
ssh.For future reference, the original value was
['urgency'].Other observations
Things we tried and found out before reaching the solution.
