As I still own squeakfoundation.org, I can repoint that. If anyone knows a spot where we can setup secondary DNS, preferably for free, ping me. Else, I’ll do some digging around to see where I can park it. I will probably need access to the primary DNS (do we still have a Hetzner host), will shout for help :-)
I could probably provide a slave dns.
