@dfox do you have a program that automatically creates those images for you?
-
@Dacexi awesome, thanks!
@billgates io wasn’t really an option on anymore due to how much they’ve been breaking. We were going to go with the domain we already had, devrantapp.com for the API if we couldn’t make this happen.
@ewpratten it’s all @trogus :) He’s kind of like a program though. -
@dfox io domains break? but its just a dns name? github.io seems fine?
-
@billgates unfortunately no - .io domains are unstable and have had too many incidents recently, the last one affected us a lot: https://devrant.io/rants/852178/...
-
@gitpush thanks!
@wiardvanrij thanks again and welcome to devRant :)
@ashokramcse @Dominic you can still type devrant.io if you desire :) The reality for us is having a .io that might look cool is not worth the tradeoff of the downtime/security issues io domains have recently experienced and it also makes branding easier for us. -
@dfox 👍
-
Congratulations on acquiring devrant.com
Cheers to entire devrant family.
And @dfox, thanks for the announcement, I will change the API endpoints too for the wrapper myself, few other devranters and contributers are working on.
It's great to hear how Wiard helped to give away .com
@dfox, please convey my best wishes to him and may his blog get tons of views too. -
Awesome news, a huge thanks to @wiardvanrij and welcome on devRant :D
-
@dfox Yea I found my mistake 😄
Still curious how some domain can have more issues that another. Got something new on my reading list now 😄 -
@Froot it was new to me too :) That morning a few weeks ago I couldn’t figure out why the app stopped working for me, and had to do some research to see it was .io outage that apparently happened before. I think the possible security issues are even more concerning though.

@dfox
Why don't you guys give some devrant++ to @wiardvanrij. After all, he was generously enough to give away his domainname 😉 -
@Tobyvw great idea, but we actually don’t have the functionality to give people devRant++ because of how the receipt checking system works that runs nightly.
But he’ll be getting a lot of devRant swag mailed to him :) -
Well, that's one awesome guy, @wiardvanrij. Hat off 🎩
-
Ok, then

Welcome to the team @wiardvanrij and thanks for supporting this awesome bunch of weird humans :)
@dfox used the domainjoin-cli -
@Froot Yeah, we have some issues with our TLD, .ax, too every now and then...
-

@wiardvanrij you are so cool!
sysrant.com is also a great choice -
-
-
@coolq someone already submitted a PR.
-
@wiardvanrij is a legend.
-
@wiardvanrij - Great to have you with us, and thanks for your contribution.
-
@JellyG00se yup, @wiardvanrij
-
Thanks everyone! We appreciate the responses/feedback here and are glad that for the most part everyone likes this change :)
@paradonym devrant.io will redirect for a very long time - I can’t see us getting rid of it. -

@dfox don't forget to claim your stressball XD
Today we have an exciting devRant announcement! As many observant members of the community have problably noticed, since launch we've been using the domain name devrant.io since the .com was already taken. Today, we're happy to announce, we now own devrant.com and it is now the official devRant URL!
How did this happen you ask? The devrant.com domain was already owned by a developer named Wiard when we launched devRant. It took a while to track him down, but when we did, turned out he saw the good we were doing and wanted to help the devRant community by generously offering us the .com domain for a very reasonable exchange (considering that we are a self-funded bootstrapped startup!).
Since Wiard recently started writing a blog on devrant.com, he had to find a new home for it. His new blog is https://sysrant.com and I encourage everyone to check it out! Great topical/educational dev/sys-admin related articles? Check. Someone who cares about the devRant community and allowed us to leave the firey hell that is .io? Check. So check it out!!
Some technical info:
This change is immediate and all devrant.io non-api requests will now redirect to devrant.com. We might have missed a few things (purposely or accidentely) so we're going to be going through and converting anything that's left. If you use the devRant API, your implementation should not break since API requests are meant to be excluded for now, but I highly recommend switching any API URLs to https://devrant.com so you can avoid issues in the future if we decide to stop redirecting devrant.io API requests. Also one note, there was an issue for about a minute after we turned on the redirected where some API requests to devrant.io might have 301 redirected to devrant.com. If an app you were using broke, try clearing whatever cache the 301 redirect might be stored in and the issue should go away.
Feel free to post any questions you might have here (and please let me know about any issues you might discover!), and once again, huge thanks to Wiard!
