Sounds like it could be intentional. — We bought .dev, now what we do with all those people in the wild misusing it? — Well, most of them misuse it with our browser, let's break at least their hacks early and loudly.

It was unintentional. Source: The horse's mouth. I'm the guy who came up with the idea of launching .dev and .app as HTTPS-only TLDs, and I'm the one who had them added to the HSTS preload list.

Out of interest, how did this happen without any investigation into possible consequences etc?

It’s a huge change that surely warranted special attention before making it happen?

this makes me wonder about what volume of mail an MX for contoso.com would receive, if microsoft didn't own the domain. https://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&hs=ujt&channel=f...

contoso.com does have MX records. $ dig +short -t mx contoso.com 10 contoso-com.mail.protection.outlook.com.

You don't need MX records, email will go to the A record if no MX is defined. Presuming its listening for email of course.

Hmm, that's interesting... Source?

Something that I’m surprised a lot of devs don’t know; there are official domains you’re supposed to use for documentation, testing, etc. They are specifically reserved by IANA for these purposes. Originally I think it was just example.com, but they now have a list of all them: https://www.iana.org/domains/reserved

You also have Microsoft's list of domains / companies used in their documentation and examples: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/...

That’s really cool. Contoso (also mentioned by someone else in this thread) and Fabrikam are the only ones I remembered off the top of my head, I had no idea they used that many.

This guy is really committed to the joke, seeing as how he could easily sell bar.com for millions of dollars. Note also that there is a .bar gTLD, and there is a foo.bar domain as of 2014 (though it doesn't seem to be hosting any content). I run the .foo gTLD, and bar.foo is a real domain (though admittedly not as good as foo.bar). There is no .baz; next round maybe?

The domain is for sale for the right price: https://www.haven2.com/index.php/domains

Seems the asking price is at least 1m USD
