When visiting the page for https://codeberg.org/rene.schaar/pages I get the following errror:

Could the problem be the `.` in my username?
Not yet. Maybe it might be an idea to allow for other separators in the TXT records, so one can use
ALIAS / A+AAAA records for codeberg.page TXT branch,repo.with.dot,user.with.dot,codeberg.page
or something like this? Unsure about the codeberg.page part as well as whether dot is a good separator, probably not (looks very confusing, maybe | is better, or +).
This issue would probably also arise for branches with dots in the name as well as repos, so having an alternative method at least for custom domains might be a good idea.

It turns out that according to https://serverfault.com/a/928204, even a CNAME target doesn't have to be a hostname - that means that using a backslash as an escape character (CNAME rene\.schaar.codeberg.page) would be totally fine. There probably are some registrars who don't like that, but a TXT record would work in that case.
For *.codeberg.page, the only idea I have would be moving the dot up half a character (·) and then using Punycode for http://rene·schaar.codeberg.page/ (http://xn--reneschaar-v2a.codeberg.page/). But I'd probably rather just say that dots in usernames are unsupported for Codeberg Pages... It's really bad IMO that Gitea allows _, - and . in usernames, and even consecutively. So one couldn't even use __ to escape a dot in an URL :/

So to visit the website I would need to use https://pages.codeberg.org/rene.schaar/. But is there a way to configure a custom domain?
