"Once [the country code] IO is removed, the [Internet Assigned Numbers Authority] will refuse to allow any new registrations with a .io domain. It will also automatically begin the process of retiring existing ones. (There is no official count of the number of extant .io domains.)"

@stefan I'm seeing a lot of people misunderstand the article you've linked here, with your toot being used as the basis for misinformation that #IO is definitely being retired. Might it be worth editing your post to clarify that it's currently only supposition?

FYI everyone:

we're getting the largest geomagnetic storm in 19 years in a few hours

it could impact #GPS, the #powergrid and maybe the #internet

tiny chance

it's rated a G4

we had a G5 in 2003 and it caused power outages in Sweden and damaged transformers in South Africa

on the plus side:

Rare severe geomagnetic storm watch issued for first time in nearly 20 years amid "unusual" solar event

The sunspot responsible for the odd series of strong solar flares is so big you can see it with your own eyes from Earth.

#Tecnoafecciones ¿Cuáles son las infraestrucutras que forman Internet?

➡️#Internet es posible gracias a infraestructuras físicas conformadas por cables y satélites, antenas y servidores web.

Hay redes de distribución de contenidos, servidores de bases de datos, modems y más...

👆 Algunos de estos elementos se encuentran en los llamados centros de datos, granjas de servidores o, coloquialmente "la nube", que de inmaterial y etéreo tiene poco y es un espacio más bien centralizado.
