(probably not) Microsoft bought "codeburg.org" and redirects it to github. (lm.paradisus.day)

Try it yourself: https://codeburg.org

The actual site is https://codeberg.org

Edit: sorry I was making a baseless claim in the title. I dont have proof that Microsoft did it. Here's the whois for what information is actually known.

Funny how Microsoft registered the domain on PorkBun, and chose not to publish the ownership information. And yet you know the real owner.

That, or you're just lying IDK...

[–] [email protected] 14 points 19 hours ago

Yeah their main Microsoft.com domain is registered with MarkMonitor like so many other Fortune 500 companies. So no, I really doubt they own this unless some intern went rogue.

Burg

vs.

Berg

For the curious: https://digger.tools/lookup/codeburg.org/whois so no, this is (in high likelihood) just a slightly expensive joke by someone

[–] [email protected] 6 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

That just tells where the domain was registered, right? And that whoever did it chose to hide their info

[–] [email protected] 1 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

Yes, there is no way to know for sure unless someone reported the activity on the website to porkbun and somehow their identity had to be exposed, I don't even know if that's possible.
It's just highly unlikely, I could make the wording fit that, actually

I think you're misunderstanding, I'm of your same idea, I'm saying that it is not Microsoft, exactly because, as you say, it's all redacted and registered through porkbun, which isn't the registrar they usually use, I also couldn't see it as a covert operation sponsored by Microsoft because Codeberg is frankly no threat to them at all, so it wouldn't warrant spending any money on this publicity stunt (even though I personally support it against GitHub, but I'm just being realistic here)

Yeah somehow I totally misread that, sorry.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 16 hours ago

You're good, don't worry!

Is it for sure Microsoft?

Admin Name: REDACTED FOR PRIVACY Admin Organization: REDACTED FOR PRIVACY Admin Street: REDACTED FOR PRIVACY

I don’t it’s farfetched that microsoft would do this. But yeah, we can’t know for sure.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 19 hours ago

Yeah... this sounds like a conspiracy theory tbh.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Does anyone own codeburger.org?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

welcome to codeburger home of the codeburger can i take your order please?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 18 hours ago

I tried running whois on the domain and can't get any information

It's possible OP is lying

[–] [email protected] 4 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Are you sure it's Microsoft?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

No I was being accusatory unfairly. I've updated my post.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 16 hours ago

Yeah don't do that
