It was initially available. I checked multiple websites to compare prices/services. And when I entered it into GoDaddy.com, the domain was bought. I checked the WHOIS out of curiosity and coincidentally it's owned by a GoDaddy subsidiary.

Porkbun! There are many to pick from but from my experience Porkbun includes everything you need out of the box at no additional cost. Namecheap has very good first year deals, but after that it almost doubles in price.
Which registrar you pick initially doesn't matter too much. I started with Namecheap then moved to Porkbun after a year with them (Completely free to move, but you'll have to buy an extra year if you move tho)
Don't use GoDaddy though. I was searching for a domain on that site and after a few minutes it was taken.
Not a game dev but I've had interest in using Unity for machine learning. I'm now trying out Godot since it does have quite a few ML libraries and it seems to be maintained better than Unity's ml-agents.
Unity-ml-agents is quite a hassle to deal with but a few months ago I wasn't able to find any altrrnatives. At least one good thing that came out of this is that I learned that there is an alternative to using Unity now.
Although I agree that people get paid less here, I highly doubt that it costs an ISP in the US 8x more to transfer data than an ISP in Thailand.
I'm not really trying to argue that Thai internet is cheap, it's that internet elsewhere is exorbitantly expensive.
Maybe OneDrive? I think people who aren't tech-oriented find OneDrive slightly harder to use than Google Drive. But you do get granular control over view/edits permission and expiry of links.
In Thailand I'm getting 400Mbps upload and download with unlimited data.
It costs about 300฿/mo ≈ $8.7/mo
For now you could remove Typesense from the Docker image. Just edit the .env and remove the # in # TYPESENSE_ENABLED=false
Then go to the Dockerfile and comment out the Typesense service.
They could take control of ActivityPub, but we can always create a fork of it if it does get to that point. We can manage without Meta anyway. And suppose Meta controls ActivityPub, it's still better than the current system where content is locked in a single platform and controlled by solely 1 company.
Although fostering an open social network is not the intent of Meta, Threads indirectly benefits the concept of federation as a whole by contributing content and making it "mainstream".
I think federating isn't necessarily a bad thing. In the worst case Meta will remove ActivityPub from Threads in the future. Threads federating is an opportunity for regular people to see and understand the Fediverse, and we get to see the more mainstream influencers. If it turns out Threads has malicious intent, defederate and hopefully the backlash will get thread users to migrate to another federated instance.
I wonder what you can do in cases like this, contact the lemmy.ml admin? This place isn't going to go anywhere if there are no mods running it.
I have no idea what is a reasonable price for a game like this, but the price seems a tad bit expensive since I don't know what to expect, and the fact that the game will probably lack content for the first few months (Or possibly never without the season passes).
I'm still excited to see a much more optimized and refined Payday. And although I don't like DLCs, I think how Payday 2 does DLCs is pretty reasonable. I just hope Payday 3 does something similar and doesn't do a subscription/microtransaction based model.
Maybe you could use a provider that isn't your domain registrar? I personally use Cloudflare.
I'm pretty sure you can setup Dynamic DNS with Cloudflare. I don't personally use that feature, but they have a ton of DNS configurations for you to choose. My domain's email is also managed by Cloudflare. And it's completely free!
