AI summary of the linked article

GNS (Gwei Name Service) is an ownerless, immutable fork of wei-names on Ethereum, with no DAO, foundation or native token, and it is presented as a complement to ENS rather than a replacement. Its fees are fixed in ETH and locked in the contract, ranging from 0.0005 ETH per year for names of 5 or more characters to 0.5 ETH per year for a single character. The article contrasts GNS with ENS, saying ENS is upgradeable by its DAO and routes fees to a DAO-controlled treasury, while GNS has no owner, admin or withdraw function. It says names can host decentralized websites by pinning content to IPFS and setting it on the name.

They’re cheap lol. And of course just because you can :) https://mishaderidder.gwei.domains/

Btw technically it’s pretty breezy and straightforward. Admit I used a hot wallet to mint etc haha just for safety, not trusting it fully.

The url will only work if you have either IPFS desktop installed or preferably Freedom browser https://freedombrowser.eth.limo/ since it points directly to an IPFS CID, no gateway present. It will take you to my unstoppable microblog :)
