I was an alpha-tester for the ARPANET in 1969 when they brought a Telex machine to our High school here in Vancouver. We sent a 'e-mail' to SFU in nearby Burnaby,BC. The acoustic modem was used with a telephone handset to commuicate. It's been 52 years since this happened.

used to work for a company that was holding a huge expo (cancelled due to 2020), I had looked into the possibility of registering a domain with our own TLD and the *application form* costs £100,000. WHICH CAN GET REJECTED. SO YOU HAVE TO PAY IT AGAIN.

I was checking them out with a friend a while back and noticed you can apply to other big businesses for $10,000 if you give them everything made off it but its still insane. I think that mightve changed since then as well so it might be back at 100k no matter what. After that, if you get accepted, you pay by the year which is crazy. I can see why only companies and cities do it and why we don't have all that many funny ones

I once read that the business model for “.wtf” was similar to “sucks.” They also assumed companies and famous people would pay top dollar to buy their own names, or the names of their branded products or services, on that extension as a purely defensive measure. It would prevent anyone from developing websites that are critical of them using that extension.
9:29 Whether or not it displays the puny code or the UTF depends a lot on what characters are used, and what different categories of characters are used together. This is a security feature.

.local is specifically reserved for mDNS (Multicast DNS). It’s a DNS-like system for local networks that work without a dedicated DNS server.
My issue with most of these newer TLDs is that sometimes URL/email validators don't recognize them, which can be a pain.

Hey i k is you won’t see this but just in case you do pay the time 7:25 it says they chose the price you get it for, could they change the price of the domain at anytime without you knowing, let’s just say you caught it for $5 then it was time to renew it but it was secretly like 1000 bucks, is that possible?
Great stuff as always...

7:35 You don't just need money to get a TLD, you also need the technical systems set up to run it.

5:32 There is still the one Blockbuster in Oregon and other video rental stores still exist (there's one about a half-mile from where I currently reside), so it's not dead, yet. I wonder if there's a .ruby domain....

".local" is usually used for local domains of Windows Server

hi there :)
.local is a domain made for MDNS protocol. It's basically the same as DNS but instead of sending a query to the DNS server you're broadcasting it on the entire local network. It's made so you can use a URL instead of an IP address that is only valid on your local network. In sum up it's only for local ip addresses. Used for printers, smart TVs and IoT in general.
I worked as a contractor on a U.S. Postal Service cybersecurity project for over two years. I never saw a .post domain being used for anything.
Apple devices heavily use ".local" and will all register their host name.local on the local network. Stuff like "Sarahs-iPhone.local". It is only meant for the local network. I also think every zeroconf aka Bonjour device registers a .local for itself.
@BenderdickCumbersnatch
2 жыл бұрын
This also explains why the weird IP you found came up. It is a multicast IP. Basically the devices name themselves and broadcast their name to all listeners on the local network. You can then refer to the devices by their easy local name instead of IP.

Correction at 12:58 : this TLD is used to give a relative names for IP addresses in local network. Like Turktelekom routers configured modem.local to point at router itself by default.
Wang Laboratories was big in the 1980s, but was eventually bought out, merged, all that good stuff and was assimilated because resistance was futile.
Dish owns blockbuster and uses some of the old contracts for a on demand service. They use the domain for the online version for the sake of simplicity.

.local is for inside networks. U give while configing your computer .local domain so it's reserved so u can safety us that 4 exmpl raspberry pi os
Actually, .local is quite popular (still, more of a legacy) to identify the LDAP networks, so the domain accounts/UPNs are like jdoe@domain.local by default (you can still have more UPN suffixes). It is still found in production, though you can change it to whatever domain your company owns. I do have like 20 domains, like having the language references if possible (when it sounds like a phrase or a word, still works, still sad can't register .er domains, by well, it doesn't matter in the end).
Someone needs to own MERRY (DOT) CHRISTMAS.
