Anyone else heard about the sourvereign, and alternative #DNS #TLD
chn.? There is a #Wikipedia article in Chinese. I am unsure if it is actually something actively pursued in #China to step up their #Internet #control game. Or if it was merely a financial asset to attract venture capital?Would love some insights from more knowledable people.

Just scraping the #IANA assigned TLDs and the corresponding documented #nameservers. What I don't get is, why so many companies apply for a #TLD. It's not particularly cheap to apply for one of those ngTLDs, yet compared to the company sizes, it's probably pennies. Is it a prestige investment? Is it a digital resource to grab, before someone else does it?
Other than #Microsoft, #Google, and #AWS, I've rarely seen any ngTLD representing a corporation's name to actually be used in practice.
Does anyone in the #infosec community share their view?

Does anyone know how booting Linux in FIPS mode gains any use or security from the `.vmlinuz.hmac` file? The interweb has no info at all.
It's a basic SHA of the vmlinuz file, but it has no way to verify authenticity or integrity of the hash, and is distributed with the thing it supposedly verifies. How does that have any purpose?
