fossilised.dev .. maybe british spelling.

palaeontology.dev ... too awkward.

museum.dev has a sort of "this is dead" ring to it.

Ironically what fossils are stored in within a museum is referred to as a "repository"..

Well, there's only 2 hard problems in computer science right?

I own a cute domain for that: repositoryum.com. I had the plans for it, but it's one of those that never came to a realization.

Yeah, museum sounds like dead and rot… However on my small site [1] that’s the name of the fossil repos page

Yes there are only 2 hard problems in computer science - caching, naming things, and off by one errors.
