Who would shut them down? Is this something the ICANN prohibits? Is ICANN even involved here, as Njalla is (to my knowledge) not an ICANN-accredited registrar? They simply buy the domains from an actual registrar and let you use them.

I wonder why nobody has mentioned Njalla [0] yet. >We want to keep things simple and we're not trying to compete on price but security. We will never be the cheapest domain name registration service but we'll always be the most

Twitter (and their API) is horribly broken and inconsistent. There is twint [0], which bypasses the API and just scrapes their website to circumvent API limitations. The wrong number of favorites could be cached and it will go a way after a

While this has long been known, I was never able to actually reproduce this and I'm not sure how it's technically even supposed to work. Assuming we're using IPv4, the default gateway is a VPN and the machine is behind a NAT:
