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...

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

And I appreciate you saying that

[–] subtext@lemmy.world 19 points 3 days 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.

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

[–] 30p87@feddit.org 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] nimpnin@sopuli.xyz 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] QuazarOmega@lemy.lol 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days 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 don’t it’s farfetched that microsoft would do this. But yeah, we can’t know for sure.

[–] Treedrake@fedia.io 5 points 3 days ago

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

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 11 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Does anyone own codeburger.org?

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

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

[–] Randelung@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

One spaghetti code, please.

[–] hono4kami@piefed.social 2 points 3 days ago

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

It's possible OP is lying

[–] hono4kami@piefed.social 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Are you sure it's Microsoft?

[–] rutrum@lm.paradisus.day 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] hono4kami@slrpnk.net 1 points 3 days ago

Yeah don't do that
