Good news! .zip and .mov are now TLDs, not just file extensions! So mentioning archive.zip in chat may now link to a phishing site or something.Wait no, that's *bad* news...

@varx Those sound like two high priority candidates for the TLD blocklists.

@tschaefer @varx You mean when .com still meant executable?

@varx If only there was a trivial way to differentiate a URL from a random word, I don't know one could have added a protocol identifier. Could call it a scheme or something.Oh, wait:https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc3986#section-3.1

@varx The bad news is that some chats transform anything which looks like a domain name into a hyperlink. That was a stupid idea from the beginning, and it still is.

@varx .doc and .pdf are next 🙂And .exe would probably be useful for educating people.

@varx The links should start with https://, gemini://, sftp:// prefixes in the first place.

@didek Maybe if we turn enough things into domain names, people will stop autolinking things that don't have a URL scheme... :-P

@varx So, just avoid using .zip and .mov extensions. .lha and .flv are great alternatives.

@deBaerI'd go with .arj and .3gp 🤣Also waiting for .bat TLD. Visit my blog at https://autoexec.batI wonder if there is command.com? 🤔 @varx

@bortzmeyer @varx https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3986#appendix-C gives rough guidelines, but no user will bother all the time adding <> or URL:

@pmevzek @varx Turning an URL into a hyperlink even if it not between brackets is reasonable. I was talking about domain names.

@varx@infosec.exchange The commercialization of TLDs was yet another mistake in the lifespan of the Internet.

@bortzmeyer @varx Same idea could be used. <example.com> vs example.com
