Hold up...why isn't .self listed here: https://www.iana.org/domains/root/db https://www.iana.org/domains/root/db Is this just an idea at this point, or some kind of "you have to use our DNS to resolve .self domains" scheme - ?

Domain names are not centralized, there is no central entity that controls an approved list of kosher domains.

  This is practically useless information (and I don't mean that in the flippant "of low regard" slang sense, I mean a literal "this information becomes irrelevant once you look at what practically applying it does" sense). E.g.: - Centralized authorities for IP & DNS assignment? You (+anyone else you can convince) can just ignore that and it'll work in your bubble anyways! - No centralized authorities for IP & DNS assignment? You (+anyone else you can convince) can just ignore that and it'll work in your bubble anyways! My above pedantry aside, the article is explicitly about "The Internet" (it's even using the capital "I" oft forgotten about these days). I.e. the worldwide bubble which has centrally controlled assignment via ICANN/IANA, separate from other systems using the DNS/IP protocols. That's why it talks about ICANN and why bananamogul mentioned .self has not been centrally registered with IANA yet.

This is an idea at this point, the next round of gTLD applications is currently open and we are in the process of applying and we are trying to garner support!

  Could do something like .brave and just sidestep ICANN?

    With your hosts file or running a DNS on localist you can do whatever you want

      there's a project for getting retro computers connected to an "internet" with 90s/00s services available, and they use .retro on that. it's pretty cute.

        This is the first I've heard of this and search results have been fruitless. Where can I find more info on this?

      .zip was especially egregious. No one should have allowed that to happen.

        There are three TLDs I block on my computer completely, and all of them are file extensions - .zip, .md, and .mov. (Yes, the domain "readme.md" exists. Fortunately, whoever owns it is not using their power for evil and does not have any webserver there... but I'm not risking it.)
        NewJazz 4mo ago
        .md seems overzealous, no? Do you also block .rs? Would break too much I imagine.

        They're unlucky, no EU for you.

        I am SO tired of the Claude docs site getting a rich preview every time anyone mentions “claude.md”. At least it’s registered by Anthropic, but what a terrible decision to allow these TLDs.

  So this is my iCloud on the web for AI agents to pay me for access to my content (Cloudflare allows the bots in upon paying) :-) Cloudflare offers this now (their Pay to Crawl service) but its not geared towards every human getting paid for their content. As of today Facebook and other social media platforms profit from our content....not us!
