       On an #IETF mailing list, about #DNS: "There are literally zero nameservers whose name is a bare TLD."Hold my beer, I will create one as soon as I have the authorization from the management. It would be cool to have:bortzmeyer.org. IN NS fr.:-)

       @bortzmeyer Do those connections go up high enough to have an official French fediverse instance that could host, say, @academie@fr, and beat the pope to it? (cf. https://chaos.social/@chrysn/114477389021336262)

       @chrysn Is it even possible to have Unicode names for instances? @académie@fr would be the proper name.TODO: setup an instance with an Unicode name and see all the blocklists of the fediverse break.

       @bortzmeyer I believe that there used to be MX records for ie and active e-mail addresses, a long time ago.

       @dwmalone @bortzmeyer Not just belief, absolute fact. Never had one myself (before my time), but I know a few people who had <oneletter>@ie for a little while.

       @natural20 @dwmalone Most email software breaks with this, they add something to "dotless" names.
