Geektools has shutdown
June 04th, 2023
----------------------------------------
I just noticed that whois.geektools.com and geektools.com both return
NXDOMAIN now... Checking the internet archive, they had posted a notice
on their site back in May stating that they had ended the service:
geektools.com has shut down.
We started this service in 1998 as the first smart whois that would
automatically query the correct server(s) to get the data you need. A
lot has changed since then and it's time to move on. Most modern
command line clients on *nix-like systems will select the appropriate
whois server. Check your system's man page ("man whois" for those of you
who don't know what a man page is). If you prefer to use a browser
interface there are many sites that perform the same function and
they're easy to find with your favorite search engine.
It's been a good run, and thanks for using this service over the years.

This is kind of devastating to me since I seem to ALWAYS be on a machine
that has a shitty whois client that doesn't automatically pick the
correct server all the time... I had been in the habit of always doing
my whois queries like `whois -h whois.geektools.com whatever'
