@badsamurai the IETF could do something very funny right now: publish an RFC that preemptively reserves the abusable ones.
@gsuberland @badsamurai yes, like

.com used to be for DOS executables.
https://command.com/ is a home hardware company.
Not sure why this is a problem now all of a sudden.
@svavar @riverpunk @badsamurai how many #MSDOS machines were on the internet when it was relevant?
- Tinkerers like @rasteri are not the norm and shouldn't be taken as normative example!

.gramon principle. The problem is when they target your customers, partners and supply chains outside of your network. This is commonly observed with recruiting related domains like {brand}jobs and {brand}careers. The domains remain parked, but they’ll have active MX records and never send to your org specifically.Then your average user or small business doesn’t have the skill or tooling to configure firewalls, NextDNS, etc. I take security by design to not just be memory safe computing, but holistic prevention at conceptual birth.
