My monitoring script broke and I missed it, but some time in the last 6 weeks, the .gov TLD gained an RDAP server! As did .as, .ng and .to!

Aaron Oxborrow rolls out brand new DNS(.tools) project 👍 domaingang.com/domain-news/... #WHOIS #RDAP #DNS #Domains
# whois.nic.pro
TLD is not supported.
Such a shame that #rdap is so verbose it could give XML a run for its compression.
And it still can't answer the question. "Does X own Y?"
(( many ccTLDs have never heard of RDAP and this is clearly for the best. ))
The change from #whois to (c) #rdap continues with this gem:
# whois.nic.info
TLD is not supported.

Today's #whois victory. On asking whois about a .email domain:
# whois.nic.email
TLD is not supported.
#rdap is still overly verbose crap that can't answer the simple question, "does X own Y?" or "who owns Y?"
Seriously, vcard and I still can't answer that question!
Lots of #spam fun today.
/whois.eu
denic makes them look good.
Why should I have to visit their WEB BASED WHOIS to look up a domain. (no #rdap but that is horrible.)
Today's #spam problem is #whois related. #rdap just changes that by replacing 1 line with 6 or more, if at all.
The whole thin provisioning push means, you can't prove ownership at all. In such cases, it is not worth my time trying to check and **REJECT** (imagine a big red stamper here)
Join the effort to rescue #USAID data! #RDAP, @icpsr.bsky.social, and

#RDAP base URLs for three ccTLDs were added to the DNS bootstrap registry yesterday!
.cm for #Cameroon
.tw and .台灣 (.xn--kpry57d) for #Taiwan
More data at deployment.rdap.org
Before anyone says "what about #rdap?"
Apart from it being unreadable and full of rubbish it still doesn't answer the question:
redacted:
method: removal
reason:
description: Server policy
name:
description: Registrant Email
...
The order is hopelessly wrong too.
.MG, the ccTLD for #Madagascar, enabled an #RDAP server! deployment.rdap.org
I‘m looking for testers for my new #SwiftUI app on #TestFlight!
It’s called rdaptastic – an #RDAP lookup tool designed to make querying domain data simple. Right now, it only supports domains, and there’s still a lot evolving. Early feedback would mean a lot! ✨

The .in ccTLD for #India #Bharat now has an entry in the #RDAP bootstrap file! No entries for the IDN variants yet, perhaps they will come in a future update.
Example record: client.rdap.org?type=domain&...
I am still not liking #rdap at all. It can't answer the simple question "IS THIS EMAIL ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS DOMAIN?"
That and it makes XML as file compression look good!
I'm sorry #nicenic, but if you redact everything, you can just **BLANKETTY-BLANK** OFF.
Insert rant about the bucket of foetid dingo's kidneys that is #RDAP here, replacing readable by humans #WHOIS with epic verbose crap that cannot answer the simple question.
WHO OWNS THIS DOMAIN?
What with whois servers being murdered by registrars, soon the only proof will be using "postmaster@"
