“So, it is our intention to inform #ICANN early in 2023 that the UK wishes to retire .gb. We expect this to be a straightforward administrative procedure.”
Well .gb is still here 🤔
(Fun fact : .中国 is given as the #ccTLD of China. It is not widely used but gives an example of #IDN)
So I wanted to sign up for a @mozilla account with my RFC 6530 compliant e-mail address.
Note that the Standards Track RFC was issued in 2012. #IDN#EAI
Je pars en retard du boulot, mais j'ai vu passer un mail où les gens se grattaient la tête car il y avait un nom de domaine bizarre commençant par "xn--" dans une de nos applis.
J'étais contractuellement obligé d'expliquer (sans citer de RFC pour ne pas achever les interlocuteur·trice·s) :) #DNS#IDN
Open source licences are one of those cans of worms I mostly try to avoid. Except it really annoys me when I want to borrow some code and I can't work out what the licence is.
If you're writing sample code or something small, you should include a #licence. However which to use? One of the *BSD or MIT licences is usually a good choice (but be careful which version!), they place minimal requirements on you. However the requirement to include a copyright notice is just annoying for everyone involved (when the code is small). Android Toybox (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toybox) solved this with the Zero-clause BSD licence (aka #0BSD); it is a modification of the ISC license, not a BSD one, but the name doesn't matter really.
While 0BSD may not be perfect, I believe it (or MIT-0, which is nearly identical) achieves the best balance of all the "do what you want" licences. I'm mainly talking about "small" pieces of code here; for larger projects it's understandable the licence choice is more nuanced and you may want Apache, #GPL, etc. This is not legal advice. Talk to a lawyer if in doubt.
Sometimes a documentation page provides more in depth into a topic than an actual blog post. I find the documentation around #IDN feature in league/uri to be just that. Informative, to the point with best practices rolled into one #php#uri #thephpleague https://uri.thephpleague.com/interfaces/7.0/idn/
