@voxpelli @NoraReed Wait, does this mean example.zip isn’t a safe dummy domain? 🧐😂

@Timdmackey @NoraReed Yeah, I would not use that, it would only be safe if the owner of the zip TLD has said so, but much safer to go by what IANA has said themselves

@voxpelli @NoraReed lol definitely not! I just think the fact that an “example.zip” domain is even possible is hilarious and absurd 😂

@Timdmackey @NoraReed Well, it could be worse, like if a very common TLD was the same as the file extension of an executable.

Oh, wait 😅 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COM_file

@voxpelli @Timdmackey @NoraReed didn’t the com file go out of regular use before the widespread adoption of the TLD? I seem to recall rarely seeing it by the windows 3.1 era: exe was the executable extension most commonly.

Also, we were so naive back then!

@linux_mclinuxface @Timdmackey @NoraReed Here’s another one: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.app_(gT

What file extension does a normal MacOS application have? Yeah .app
