According to all known laws of DNS, there is no way a fedi instance could be hosted on an .ARPA domain.
Even if you get ahold of a domain like this, it should only be used for PTR records - right?
The instance, of course, federates anyway - because DNS doesn't care what humans think is impossible.
@jessienab@wetdry.world@domi HOW DID YOU GET AN ARPA DOMAIN????
@lanodan@queer.hacktivis.me@lanodan @jessienab yes, i asked my ISP really nicely and they delegated it to me :3c
i love https://bgp.wtf/ they're the best
@lanodan@queer.hacktivis.me@lanodan @jessienab yeah, I haven't found another sure-working way for ARPA domains. considering buying a TLS certificate for it, but every place wants the domain name *after* I pay, not before, so it comes with a risk of being rejected :(
I'll likely write up all my shenanigans with this in some blogpost next month or so ^^
@mwl@io.mwl.ioplease do write this up!
I started poking at what it would take to put a web site at 3.82.139.23.in-addr.arpa. Seems like there's a lot of annoying footgun protection here...
@mwl @domi @lanodan @jessienab Hmm, if you control the nameserver for the rDNS it should be like a regular web page
@mwl @domi @lanodan @jessienab As in: add the zone, create a A/AAAA record and put a webserver behind it
@lanodan@queer.hacktivis.me
@domi @lanodan @jessienab hmmmm, Letzencrtpy won’t give you one?
Damn, don’t nerdsnipe me…
@lanodan@queer.hacktivis.me
@waldi @lanodan @domi @mirabilos @jessienab Well, time to make a PR /j
@domi @lanodan @jessienab
You have an INCREDIBLE ISP!
In canada we have literally two companies to choose from.
@jessienab @domi @lanodan
Technically that's true, but practically speaking (especially outside of the 3 biggest cities) there are very few alternatives, and all of them (that I've ever heard of) are sub-par and often totally hands-off, so no support, no static ipv4, no ipv6, and certainly no ARPA addresses :(
