(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.

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

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
