   @audiodude @sindarina Never invent TLDs. You will get burn and get others burn. If you just need examples, see the `.dev` or `.box` fiasco. News at 11: new gTLD round in 2026, so you can expect new TLDs in 2030 or so, and `.fake`, or any other, can certainly be there, and suddenly all your documentation and setups have a big problem!

     @sindarina In unit tests that are intended to be hermetic, I tend to use the .fake TLD for things that look approximately like URLs but are never intended to be accessible.
