Comment on ICANN approves use of .internal domain for your network
lud@lemm.ee 1 month agoThey didn’t make this too be easy to use. They don’t give a shit about that. That isn’t their job in the slightest.
They reserved a TLD, that’s all.
You can use any TLD you want on your internal network and DNS and you have always been able to do that. It would be stupid to use an already existing domain and TLD but you absolutely can. This just changes so that it’s not stupid to use .internal

No one is saying it is their job.
Merely that using a TLD like .internal requires some consideration regarding ssl certificates.

But why are people even discussing that?
This is about an ICANN decision. TLS has nothing to do with that. Also you don’t really need TLS for self hosting. You can if you want though.

Because people can discuss whatever they like?
If you don’t like it just down vote it.

People can talk about whatever they want whenever they want. The discussion naturally went to the challenges of getting non-self-signed certificates for this new TLD. That’s all.
