This PR proposes to remove the obl.ong entry from the PSL. It was added by #1830 on 2023-08-11

The project appears to be defunct for > 30 days and no longer in active use:

  1. Domain returns SERVFAIL responses consistently when checked against multiple DNS resolvers (1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8) for at least 30 days
  2. No working website found via site:obl.ong searches
  3. Required _psl.obl.ong TXT record is not maintained as required for PSL inclusion
  4. Domain was only added in August 2023, so it does not qualify for exemption from the _psl TXT record maintenance requirement
  5. Expires 2026-11-04 < 2 years from now

Multiple attempts were made to contact the domain owners before proposing removal:

  1. Email sent to contact address listed in PSL on 2024-12-29
  2. GitHub mention/tag to original committer
  3. Email sent to committer's personal email on 2024-12-29

No response received to any contact attempts

DNS checks performed show consistent SERVFAIL responses:

$  dig obl.ong @1.1.1.1
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id: 9897

$  dig obl.ong @8.8.8.8
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id: 59545

The domain doesn't appear to meet the user requirement we tend to enforce either.

The DNS servers are actually responsive, however it does seem to drop out for some locations on whatsmydns.net:

The website doesn't seem to load in my browser however though.
