Wonder if we'll see a similar post at some point about .io domains
- dedene 2y agoI hope not
- marxisttemp 2y agoPresumably. Cutesy ccTLD hacks have given me the ick from the start. My last job used .io for our primary Kubernetes cluster and I found it distasteful. Is a fun little reference worth tying your infrastructure to the vagaries of geopolitics?
- pavlov 2y agoThere’s so much infrastructure on companies that use .io domains that it’s impossible and pointless for anyone to think about removing the TLD. For example, Docker Hub images are at docker.io. Why break those? Who knows where those URLs are cached? Presumably Mauritius will inherit the domain like Russia inherited .su.

- pavlov 2y agoYeah… And which of the involved parties are so eager to send that kind of signal to Docker? What would it change? Mauritius can make money from these registrations, like Anguilla makes a pretty penny from .ai today. They have no practical interest in seeing the .io TLD gone.
