Good morning. TIL https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.ck. Something for rayfu?
Problem seems to be that the .ck TLD is not available on its own.
XD
.http://co.ck is funny by itself…. http://big.co.ck is available for only €202, so I guess they’re a bit hesitant when it comes to handling out funny domains as a joke. Pretty sure that one would have been taken within 5 minutes.
Reminds me of a discussion in a Swedish coders group on Facebook where someone asked for strategy ideas in auto-filtering away “bad” user names. My input was just, “Don’t bother, where there’s a will there’s a way”.
morning, yeah... no point in filtering 'bad' user names... I agree
Morning!
Autofiltering usernames can even be harmful, there were more than one instance were people with “non-english” usernames were discriminated by name filters
Good morning!
Morning!
not to mention the Scunthorpe problem
Indeed!
Safe to google Scunthorpe?
yes
it's a town
It's a town in the north of England
it has an unfortunate naming problem, I think facebook(?) took exception to the naming
Indeed, it has an entire section devoted to it: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scunthorpe#Internet_obscenity_filters>
and <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scunthorpe_problem>
The french village “Bitche” also had its community page banned by Facebook
TIL. Thanks!
morning
context is everything
Cockburn Cockfosters
the only name I am reasonably sure is an oooold penis joke is Shakespeare, which is appropriate given the number he tells in his plays and poems (which is a lot)

(happy to delete the above if Shakespeare is NSFW)
Good morning! Turned out Saturday’s recording of my :clojureD presentation was a bit crappy. I was in the wrong mood. But I fixed that yesterday and am now uploading the result. It was super fun preparing and presenting, but now I will enjoy not being in prepare-a-presentation mode for a while. 😃
:thumbsup: I have yet to record the whole thing, will do on Wednesday...
