The WHOIS record for newpipe.net was changed on January 23, and currently I don't see authoritative nameservers listed in the record?

Are you talking about dns?

Talking about the nameservers (authoritative DNS servers) for the domain. Without them, the domain cannot be resolved (used, in practice).

Yeah - but whois is domain ownership ?

Edit: i see it does not resolve

@Oisteink @krigo666 WHOIS records are not just who owns the domain, but also list the authoritative nameservers.
For an example, pull the WHOIS record for lemmy.world, and you'll see:
nameserver: morgan.ns.cloudflare.com
nameserver: piper.ns.cloudflare.com

Seems like someone forgot to renew their domain 🫠

@Krafting @markzero

the creation date still is 2018. Most probably not domain expiry but a move to a different registrar.

Some form of communication by a #newpipe channel about what is going on would be nice. If only to stop speculation.

@Krafting Well, the WHOIS says
"Expires on 2027-08-05," so I don't think that's it.

It would be interesting to find out if maybe Youtube talked INWX (their registrar) into taking action against them, but it should say "clientHold" for the status if that's the case, and it doesn't.

@Atemu I was trying to let others know what I found; when I did a quick search I saw they were asking about it.
