On: Special-use domain 'home.arpa.' (2018)

[betaby]

What exactly does that mean? 'example.com' is registered to IANA since 1992.

[icedchai → betaby]

It was a placeholder... an example. (You know, the documented purpose of example.com!) I am not posting my actual domain here.

It means grandparent commenter ain't sayin':

> where example.com is a domain I've had for 30 years

(That domain has that reservation specifically for use in arbitrary examples, as here.)

[gl-prod → betaby]

OC replaced the real domain with example.com. Could have used int.google.com.
