I've been running lnaddress.me for couple of years now, it started with a decent list of available domains but over time the cost of renewing domains for offering a free service became too much so I slowly started removing them as they expired.
last year I've removed lightning.by from the site because of the same reason - renewal price.
Fast forward a while - couple weeks ago I get tagged by fiatjaf in a telegram group where Sergey was asking who runs the site and that he purchased domain that used to be available there and would like to give it back to the service.
So lnaddress.me again supports lightning.by LN addresses thanks to Sergey, and I have a bit more motivation to run this free service a while longer to support this awesome community!
Great job! Such work is needed the most. Keep doing it. Also having patience for such generous work is so important. Over the time, you will find much needed support like you did in case of lightening.by

I believe his problem as state is the continuing running cost that goes on while he waits. Money is, for most, a limited resource.

I'm not waiting for anything in particular, but I have to weight the amount of resources I can dedicate towards the public good

Which is ironic, isn't it? The public good should finance the public good...

Give and take is an important balance. Congrats on getting your domain back!
