How long does it take...

... from you register a domain and set up a webserver, before someone comes around to visit, without you ever mentioning the domain publicly?

To wit:

Created On:       17-Feb-2011 21:17:37 UTC
Webserver set up: 18/Feb/2011:15:25:51 +0100
First hit:        19/Feb/2011:04:35:16 +0100
First Google hit: 19/Feb/2011:12:38:05 +0100

I wonder from where those visitors get the newly registred domains...

How to comment, in excruciating detail…

To avoid spam many websites make you fill out a CAPTCHA, or log in via an account at a corporation such as Facebook, Google or even Microsoft GitHub.

I have chosen to use a more old school method of spam prevention.

To post a comment here, you need to:

  • Configure a newsreader¹ to connect to the server koldfront.dk on port 1119 using nntps (nntp over TLS).
  • Open the newsgroup called lantern.koldfront and post a follow up to the article.
¹ Such as Thunderbird, Pan, slrn, tin or Gnus (part of Emacs).

Or, you can fill in this form:
