Quelqu'un aurait des recommandations / de la littérature technique sur les éventuelles conséquences d'un choix de tld pour un projet open source 🙏 ? Je me questionne sur la nécessité du .org communément utilisé et envisage de déposer un simple .fr
Un peu dans le même esprit que curl.se
Pour des raisons financières mais aussi pour ne pas dépendre des USA.
Sachant que mon projet serait français pour commencer mais pourrait être par la suite international.

Sooo!

What are #sysadmins contingency plans for when Nazi USA starts to fuck with #tld and other Internet infrastructure?

Like implementing fascist (anti-#DEI) slash and burn, packet inspection drops and other shitfuckery?

And if you think that's unlikely the US Nazis are already leaning on US suppliers to make sure they don't have DEI policies.

What's your plan for the Great Firewall of the USA?
Or US exercising Internet #killswitch Obama put in?

Switching copies of TLD Database to be root?

Remember `.su`, the ccTLD for the Soviet Union? Created in 1990, just 15 months before the USSR was dissolved and in ICANN limbo since, broadly used primarily for various sorts of cybercrime.

Now ICANN will finally move to retire the #TLD from the #DNS, targeting removal by 2030:

domainnamewire.com/2025/03/11/

Interestingly, ICANN moving forward with this could imply that they _will_ follow through on the removal of the `.io` #ccTLD should the return of the territory to Mauritius complete...

Domain Name Wire | Domain Name News · ICANN moves to retire Soviet-era .SU country domain name - Domain Name Wire | Domain Name NewsDomain system overseer plans to retire .su in 2030. ICANN has notified the operator of the legacy Soviet Union country code domain, .su, of its plans to retire the domain in five years, Domain Name Wire has learned. The .su namespace, which remains open for new registrations and currently has around 100,000 domain names, is […]

When you set up authoritative DNS servers for domains, do you try to have NSes in the same TLD zone to take advantage of Glue recors in the zone (e.g.: .net domain would use name servers under .net too), or intentionally use NSes in separate TLD zones (like major cloud vendors do) ignoring Glue records, but using separate TLDs (.com, .info, ccTLD, etc.) for supposed redundancy in case one TLD registry goes offline?

Or you do not care at all? :blobcatnerd:

Man, so satisfying being motivated again! I came up with two idea for the game that I’m feeling really good about and shouldn’t be too difficult to implement (famous last words).

I also finally sat down to play a bit of the long dark for inspiration and the feeling it conveys is exactly what I’m looking for. The slow desperate search for anything and everything that will keep you alive to see one more day is so compelling to me.

In anticipation of the completion of ICANN policy activity for the New gTLD Program: Next Round, the Interisle team looked again at our 2024 Cybercrime Supply Chain study. Using the same data, we offer additional measurements, metrics and observations here to further inform ICANN and other policy makers as they consider policy for Round 2.

I‘m looking for a few domains for new projects right now and I’m wondering if I should avoid US-based registrars with their current government. I remember some .af-domains being shut down after the (very different kind of) government change there. Is this something I should consider, or are you just going with what sounds/works best? #domain #domains #tld
