At the risk of sounding flippant, por que no los dos? Any valuable domains are at the same risk, but that's outside of the scope of RIPE or IANA. Fight this. Also fight that.

The SNI spec dictates that trailing dots shall be stripped from the hostname. The HTTP host header which is sometimes (ab)used to perform a kind of not-quite-right-SNI doesn't have the luxury of being quite so well specified.

Not ISP-dependent, but DNS-server dependent. The recommendation is also just that: It's not enforced. The TLD can decide to serve those records at the apex if it wishes, and any given DNS server should look them up as requested. It j

The sunny 16 (and overcast 8) rule is an easy way to remember what the values are, and it's not really an average: The incident light on a scene on a cloudless day when the sun is directly overhead doesn't change. The average refl

Kinda. The values are all reciprocal. While you can't stop down to f/16 because of the fixed aperture, you can increase the shutter speed to compensate. Assuming ISO 100, so an initial starting shutter speed of 1/100 and
