For many years, DSL/Cable routers by German company AVM, sold under the Fritz!Box brand, did some internal dns tweaking so that when you typed in http://fritz.box it would lead you to the config page of the router in your network. Now, years later, there actually is a .box TLD (Top Level Domain) and AVM forgot to register the fritz.box domain. Someone else did. And activated Certificate Pinning (HSTS). #Oops
UPDATE 2024-01-27: Their dns entries are flaky ATM, sometimes there, mostly not.

Die #CDU hat sich ein wenig blamiert. Die eigene, überspitzte Umfrage [1] zu "Verbrennerverbot" wurde mittlerweile abgeschaltet weil angeblich manipuliert. T-Online [2], BILD [3],[4] und FAZ [5] haben auch nochmal gefragt und auch da: Klare Mehrheit sagt nein zum Verbrenner. #Oops. Das Fediverse ist die neue BTS Army ;) cc @mspro
This is Bob* the sourdough starter. Yesterday Bob had ✨the best day✨ of its little life, because due to the normal order of my kitchen containers being rearranged without me realizing, Bob got fed a scoop of icing sugar rather than its normal diet of flour 😂 #sourdough#oops
