HindsightWiki:About

From HindsightWiki

Hindsight.su is a domain that by all measures of internet logic cannot exist. It resides on the Soviet Union top level domain, .su. In contradiction with ICANN policies that decommissioned the .su top level domain in 1990 after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Russian Domain name authority still accepts new registrations.

For a grand total of $25 I am able to own a piece of obsolete history, an abstract piece of real estate on a hosted physical server within a virtual name space that shouldn't exist any more. But then again, neither should TCP/IP. Who knew?

the icon is a cropping from a Soviet Agitprop Poster, issued in 1963 for the Cosmonautics Day celebrations. Find more information on globalsecurity.org.
