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] 19 points 3 months 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.

I just wanted to say I appreciate you taking the time to fact check OP's claim

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

And I appreciate you saying that

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

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months 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

Why expensive? eg. codebarg.org would be 7.20€/year https://www.namecheap.com/domains/registration/results/?domain=codebarg.org

codeburg.org couldn't have been that much more expensive.

I mean as opposed to not spending any money at all, I just admire the commitment to the troll

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Does anyone own codeburger.org?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

One spaghetti code, please.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

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

It's possible OP is lying

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Are you sure it's Microsoft?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Yeah don't do that

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

I know you already edited the post, but someone need to post This
