alt Hacker News.self: A new top-level domain designed to support self-hosting
Comments
the .self root itself should self-host itself
If we're gonna futz around with self hosting tld stuff, can we get HTTP clients to allow self signing on dot local? It's my goddamned network stop warning me about my own servers and no I don't want to install new root certs I resent the need to do Deep Magic just to have a private NAS.
Huh?
"Will be?" It's not up yet? Are they an approved TLD registry?
Their "pamphlet" is just their web site as a PDF file.
Are they selling domains, web hosting, DNS service, or what?
Right now, the only thing you can do is "Donate".
Can we get a super fast way to update DNS with lower cache, so dynamic IP updated through API works. This is one of the limiting factors.
Cloudflare works but the cache give downtime after every IP-switch

Kind of makes sense.
I remember that the local service provider in the 1990s offered free homepages for all customers. Over the years this, strangely enough, disappeared completely; still not sure why, but it was harder to get hosting. It's still possible today, even for free, but it is more of a hassl and harder to do so than what I remember in the late 1990s early 2000s. I actually think every citizen should automatically get a free homepage etc..., if they want to (should be guaranteed to be an option, never mandatory of course; and I also think it should be a human right, together with access to information. Some countries perma-ban people who "violated" something e. g. downloaded copyrighted material, that also needs to be eliminated and states that do so should be called brutal dictatorships.)
too selfish
my.self is going to be sold for millions
I've been experimenting with using "mymobilenumber.xyz" for stuff thats specific to me. the domains are cheap and easy to remember.. in this day and age mobile numbers are not super secret anyway...
Oh too bad will.i.am can’t spend $5,000,000 for a my.self domain :(

SELF: The Power of Simplicity

Abstract. SELF is an object-oriented language for exploratory programming based on a small number of simple and concrete ideas: prototypes, slots, and behavior. Prototypes combine inheritance and instantiation to provide a framework that is simpler and more flexible than most object-oriented languages. Slots unite variables and procedures into a single construct. This permits the inheritance hierarchy to take over the function of lexical scoping in conventional languages. Finally, because SELF does not distinguish state from behavior, it narrows the gaps between ordinary objects, procedures, and closures. SELF’s simplicity and expressiveness offer new insights into objectoriented computation.
To thine own self be true. —William Shakespeare

Good luck getting your outgoing emails accepted by Gmail and outlook.
I've been looking to get into the TLD game. It's gonna cost about $600k, and it's a coin toss as to whether or not you'll get your money back. The two I've been eyeing, is .ion and .ness. Anyone want to go in on either of those with me?
I use netbird.io for my home lab and all my connected devices are reachable to each other without manual firewall hackery
>One domain per person
How will you ensure this?
ICANN and its consequences have been a disaster for the internet namespace.

An entire TLD full of free DDOS targets or middlemen? Yes please! /s

I think is a good goal to pursue.
