Post funny things about programming here! (Or just rant about your favourite programming language.)
Altneratively: You're spending that $12 to register a well known corporate site that just changed domains and their old domain is up for sale.
You buy the old domain, throw up a site that looks like the old site, and now you have hundreds of thousands of people using your site as though it was the real one and any information they put in the site is yours.

Plot twist:
Private equity buys your registrar and jacks up the renewal price 5x.
Double-twist-back: it's not under a special TLD, so you can transfer it to another registrar.
It's too close to expiration for a transfer. 😔 givemoney.gif
I don’t like this post.
Why you gotta do this to me
You can take stronk.bond from my cold dead hands.
Honestly even if I did I'd preserve the page as is, beautiful
It's literally all I wanted to do when I saw the .bond TLD came up for registration.
Oddly it doesn't load in Firefox but works fine in Chrome. Firefox shows this error:
Ah, I wonder if it's something with the Wasabi S3 hosting. I'll check into it.
Whats on there? I just get an access denied message.
Delete this. Now.
I haven’t felt this targeted in some time.
If you don't, you'll pay a lot more to get it back if you ever want to
$1/month isn't bad though.
Just 3.3 cents per day seems pretty reasonable
damn this one headshotted me. ouch
I said hey man nice shot.
I finally added at least something to puter.group. It had almost been a year.
(OH MY GOD, SO MANY MORE. This must be the ADHD thing...)
New button: new dream to maybe kill off next year
There's no reason to think that I'm no longer chasing my dream, that I'm being dragged by it is there? - Marc Maron
Can someone please validate my decision to pay $23 a year for this dumb corndog.social domain just so I had something fun for my Lemmy instance.
Buying a nice domain and it actually being used is such a good feeling
/me looks at his lemmy instance domain
Never give up the domain. I've let several go that I wish I still had. They only get more valuable, like real estate.
