If you are familiar with my site, which presumably not. This isn’t the first time that domain migration has happened, and this is one of them. I always make the hoarding of X (insert stuff here) my biggest priority, as I tend to keep everything online as long as possible. But to keep things sustainable(AKA Domain Portfolio Healthiness), for the foreseeable future. In this wild west of global politics and domain price skyrocketing, this migration has to happen, either now or in the future.
It’s just a matter of when.
While this may sound concerning for other domain hoarders out there, But don’t worry!
I planned this migration a year ahead from now as owu.se will be paid until September, 2026. Roughly 10 months from the time of writing.
chy.li : chy-li chyli
When you search chyli on your favorite search engine, you will find Cisterna chyli, which is a “dilated sac” located “posterior to the abdominal aorta,” instead of me. I’ve to declare that it has nothing to do with how I sourced this name at all, nor was I aware of this connection prior to registration of the domain. :D
Now to the migration, There will be no email Migration!!. I’m still using 3qx.nl as an email portal and has no plan for cancellation of this ever.
Also as a tradition of domain migration, every migration MUST HAVE either website UI improvement and/or UI overhaul. But lucky me, I didn’t have time for a complete rewrite this time. So I concluded it with a bit of site improvement/rewrite, and you can already see changes by navigating around my site (chy.li).
Source/Archive of old site
This box here is a brief history of site migration since 2020, while there is one version of the site where it's considered as a lost media. Others should still reproducible with correspondence software.

At the time of writing, I’ve briefly checked on what migration to perform. Which turn out to be less than last time, as there is no UI complete overhaul this time(there sill is, but not a complete rewrite).
