Internetstiftelsen is the company blog at iis.se, writing about systems and web. Since 2012, 8 different Hacker News readers have linked it 12 times, most often “IIS (.se and .nu TLD) releases DNS zone files for the whole TLD”. It is still writing: the last post was on 2026-05-11, and you can follow it by feed.
Too few sampled comments (5) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN links the Swedish Internet Foundation (IIS), the body that runs the .se domain, for information on .se zone data, domain registration testing and the foundation itself. The comments do not judge its writing.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 5 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
Vi är oberoende, verkar för ett internet som bidrar positivt till människa och samhälle och ansvarar för toppdomänen .se och driften av .nu.

What Hacker News says?
"... remember that the purpose of DNS is to be public." DNS records, e.g. zone files, are supposed to be public information. As such, ICANN requires gTLD registries to provide users with access to them.[FN1] However, various ccTLDs at various times refused to comply, and most still try to pretend their zone files are private. Obviously, as the blog post shows, users can still get a large quantity of the data freely…

HN discussionI'd say that depends heavily on what TLD you are talking about. I find IIS[1] (the foundation that runs .se) freaking awesome, but I guess .se wouldn't make much sense if you're not Swedish. [1] https://www.iis.se/english/about-se/

HN discussionNo, such a thing does not exist. At least not automatically. There are stories[1] about large corporations getting complaints from end customers in Asia about not being reachable - and it turns out the customers only have IPv6. IPv4 FAIL. (Note: APNIC ran out of IPv4 addresses more than two years ago [2], and has had rapid internet expansion in the mean time. Asians are heavy IPv6 adopters.) Such a thing you imagine…
