I really do mean the root directory! As in, a kinda joke that meant the site was a central place for news, so it would act as a root directory for that
What is the dot for in your `/.`?
It's what you'd use as an arg to `cp` if you wanted to copy the contents rather than the directory, for example.

#34I‘m using notmyhostna.me as my email address and every time I have to provide it in person or on the phone I kinda regret it because people seem to not know much about TLDs.
In my experience, having an email address ending with any custom domain other than "gmail.com" raises questions and clarifications are necessary quite often.

#35I have `sahil@e.email`. Don't know if they still accept new users!

#36Reminds me of Slashdot > The name "Slashdot" came from a somewhat "obnoxious parody of a URL" – when Malda registered the domain, he desired to make a name that was "silly and unpronounceable" – try pronouncing out, 'h-t-t-p-colon-slash-slash-slashdot-dot-org'". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slashdot

I keep getting asked about "@mydomain.com" every time. "Oh, you work here too?".
People have no idea how email works (and why should they?).

#38I also have a domain just for the cool look of my personal email address. My (family) name has an 'a' in it that I replace with the '@' of the email address, so Rauzy becomes r@uzy. I have the domain "uzy dot me" just for that. A friend of mine saw this at some point, and decided to use the same trick, except his family name ends with the TLD of a country so he could also use that to (not gonna tell his email address…
For the same reason, I keep trying to get "jo.sh". At one point it was at a domain parker (divido) that offered to auction it, but they never actually did the auction. Now it seems to be registered but not pointing anywhere. I'd love to find who has it and make them an offer for it.

How is it different than if you give your address as
1234 York Street or 1234 Miller Street
and they will not assume you live in York or work for the brewery making Miller Lite...
It's been 40 years, people could have wisened up how email addresses work.

Because they can't differentiate between "stavros@yourbusiness.com" and "yourbusiness@stavros.com".
