I wonder what the most exclusive tld is . probably .gov or .mil
.gle - owned by Google and only for Google properties
Back in the late 90's and early 2000's, there were a set of hacking challenges called the Zebulun Challenges hosted by the site CyberArmy. For the 7th or 8th challenge (Lt. Kernel to Kernel), you had to find a proxy or have an rDNS for your IP that resolved to a .su domain in order to proceed into the simulated system you were trying to hack into.
I assume for a later challenge they actually checked the forward DNS matched. :)

Which isn't that hard. You just update your reverse DNS. I assume for a later challenge they actually checked the forward DNS matched. :)

Dot int is basically non-existent compared to mil and gov. Also being attached to the UN makes it uncool instantly.
nato.int is the coolest domain in the world for me.
I hope we keep it. It matches the maps I have from 7th grade.
I hope we will NOT keep it. It reminds me how my country was occupied and annexed by Soviet Union.
Read some history, perhaps.

Not quite. Katsu is from Cutlet. (cutlet -> カツレツ -> かつ).
Isn't a cutlet a small cut? As in a small "cut of chicken" is a "chicken cutlet?"
It originally referred to the same thing "chop" does today, a slice of meat perpendicular to the spine, containing a single rib. Then it started referring specifically to a boneless chop. Then it started being used to refer to any thin slice of meat. And in a lot of the world it was introduced specifically as a breaded and fried thin slice of meat. And that's how we got katsu, the Japanese version of schnitzel.
Language is weird, isn't it?

I am not asking to remove based on that I personally dislike it . I am asking to remove it based on: >But USSR does not exists and there is no reason to keep it. Using it is a kind of propaganda. Its place is in history books and not in the modern internet.
I understand that, but you initially said: > I hope we will NOT keep it. It reminds me how my country was occupied and annexed by Soviet Union. You mentioned nothing of the sort that you are NOW mentioning as a reason. I am glad that you are not asking for or wanting its removal because it reminds you of bad things. Perhaps it was an innocent omission, or you changed your mind. Either way, glad we could get to the bo…
I am glad you are glad.
.su was made because of USSR. USSR collapsed. .su should be removed because the reason it was made does not exists any more. Logic is simple.

Perhaps (if you may classify it as exclusive) .arpa which is still in use I think but you cannot register new domains. There's also .aero which is pretty exclusive: "only those in various categories of air-travel-related entities may register." - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Internet_top-level_d...
.arpa is in use, but only as an internal detail for reverse name resolution (i.e. looking up the PTR record for 1.2.3.4 queries the server 4.3.2.1.in-addr.arpa)
For me .su is a kind of historical curiousity. Not sure if I like it or not, or if it should be phased out, but there are a bunch of Soviet Union related sites in there too and sometimes these are pretty amusing (how about a site of the CPSU?) Also there's sudo.su :) Source: am Russian.
The domain description is actually some part of the lyrics of the song [2]
