The first thing I did when I finished transferred one of my domain was figuring out how to make it usable as bluesky handle.
This is pretty straightforward. Hell, you probably already knew how to do it, too. But there’s a catch: I don’t want to use apex domain for it. I want to use a subdomain.
This, too, is pretty straightforward. Oh yeah, for reference to me in the future or to anyone else: Go to your bluesky app (hopefully, by the time you read this there are more of them), click Settings on lefthand menu, click Account, click Handle. There’ll be a window pop-up. Click ‘I have my own domain’ (I assume you do have your own domain), and there’ll be a bunch of stuff you need to add to your registrar. Add your domain name, follow the direction, and you’re done!

Alright, I suppose it’s been a while!
Today, after long last, I decided to transfer my domains from a local registrar to an US registrar.
There were many reason for the change. First and foremost is of course cost; even with currency exchange, it’s still cheaper to use US registrar - and by US registrar, I mean Porkbun. It’s about same price for everyone else, really. Second, the DNS record management of local registrar depend on a hosting package with cpanel. Problem is, I’m also soured on the hosting package - it’s pretty expensive, for one, and I mostly use it for email hosting anyway, and since I moved to Protonmail for email hosting, I don’t really want to bother with it anymore.

Originally I’m not too keen keeping my own sites on Neocities. Nothing against them (obviously, you’re reading on Neocities likely), but having to write HTML and then uploading them manually sounds like a total pain, though I understand people back then really do it like that.
Then yeah, I found out Neocities has CLI tool. And, uh, actually it’s good? Small wonder. Okay, the dry run doesn’t quite work, the ruby modules (script?) just crashed on my end, but that’s fine. It works for actual production, which is the most important part.
