Doesn't have quite the style of http://pythong.org [NSFW]

(Didn't think to mark it until people commented, and technically there's no nudity, but if you are looking at it and someone passes your desk they'll THINK there is nudity, and if you are actually at work I think that passes the bar.)

What's weird to me is that this seems like a totally implausible accidental misspelling, which just shows how differently people type, I guess.

I can see that 'i' and 'u' are adjacent on the keyboard, but if you touch-type, they belong to different fingers, and I can't see how I'd transpose them while getting all the other letters right. If my right hand were shifted over by a key, I might get 'gutguv' or 'gotjim', I guess.

This reminds me of https://gail.com/ which, according to the owner get an average 16k hit per day from people mistyping gmail.com

It used to be more verbose:

> This is not the [distributed version control system hub](https://github.com/) that you're looking for.

I always thought someone should make a github for cooking recipes and call it guthub

I don't understand why people upvote this garbage. Do they find it funny? Or interesting?

Is it that time of the year again? https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=guthib.com

by memsomon 10/14/2022, 2:27 PM

I love that it is a git repository, unfortunately, it is a private one.

But it can be browsed anyway: https://guthib.com/.git/logs/refs/heads/master

There is feisbuk.es that it redirect to facebook.es because it as say facebook in spanish.

I think this is the perfect place to host development of `sl`

by meltynesson 10/14/2022, 2:41 PM

Ah yes, security concerns that pose O(N!) complexity monetary considerations, this is what I need to think about right now.

The actual reason these common misspelling domains are acquired is to make it harder to perform scams.

Reminds me of the time I first used the internet.

People were always telling me to use Google if I needed some information.

But I didn't speak English very well and always assumed it was goggle. Took me months to find the mistake.

I just assumed I'm too dumb for the internet and used Lycos or something.

by x55j33on 10/14/2022, 2:37 PM

fancy doing this when they could have simply forced the fat-fingered user into an endless cycle of http redirects, popup adverts, crypto-mining banner ads and finally a "this domain is for sale" parking page..

Looking at the page source it's very plain and simple.

No million tracking/analytics lines.

I respect that.

by wolframhempelon 10/14/2022, 3:24 PM

I suppose after typing `git push/pull/commit/whatever` about a million times, the git part at least is deeply ingrained in muscle memory by now

by layer8on 10/14/2022, 3:18 PM

> You spelled it wrong.

It’s not so clear-cut: https://github.com/GutHib

by metadaton 10/14/2022, 3:20 PM

https://guthub.com/

Apparently I spelled this one right. Or close enough.. xD

by batman-fartson 10/14/2022, 3:17 PM

A worthy successor to http://isgrudengoneyet.com/

by vsaretoon 10/14/2022, 2:26 PM

Now get gtihub.com

by calvinmorrisonon 10/14/2022, 3:22 PM

https://shithub.us/ - the fragrant git host.

by GTPon 10/14/2022, 4:28 PM

I was expecting some alternative to GitHub

by jayrwrenon 10/14/2022, 6:26 PM

WTF https://www.gibhut.com

by jarek83on 10/14/2022, 6:52 PM

I realized that I never misspelled it this way.

by miltonlaxeron 10/14/2022, 3:02 PM

Why not redirect the user to GitHub.com?

by nkantaron 10/14/2022, 4:39 PM

I misspell it as Githug far more often…

by hankmanderon 10/14/2022, 4:21 PM

ever done a "gut pull"?

by dlqxon 10/15/2022, 6:57 AM

It should just redirect.

by ac130kzon 10/14/2022, 3:42 PM

They should redirect to meatspin

by greon 10/14/2022, 3:28 PM
