My Domains

It has been some years, maybe 2 ~ 2.5 since I bought my first domain. And when I bought it, I was super excited about what I could do with this single one, I could set up mail forwarding, make myself a website, a blog and what not. It was like owning a place on the internet. Not the walled garden but the open web.

My first domain was scientiac.space, I chose a space domain not because .com wasn't available, but I wanted it to be unique. Like, it was my space in the internet. I set up almost everything using that domain, everything I could, I did. I use it as a blog on scientiac.space and as public notes notepad? at map.scientiac.space and many other things. While developing the blog, I checked the link preview card by sending the link to messenger, and I did it so many times that this site got flagged as spam at Facebook. Not just facebook, but throughout the whole meta services.

I then decided to buy another domain called, carboxi.de which was a cheap domain because of .de, and I wanted it to sound cool. Like, lobste.rs I used carboxide as the way to share my blog on Facebook. That was all it was used for, for some time. But, now it is another blog which I use to write without thinking too much. It also is like a computer club where I give subdomains to my friends to use. And this domain though it doesn't have space in it, it has been my safe space.

Then out of stress I bought 3o14.com in the middle of my ongoing exams. I am a nerd and I wanted something that represented me, and it was 'pi' the letter that had multiple meanings, not just mathematical TT. I could not just buy pi.com or 14.com to make it 3.14.com because getting 2 lettered domains is super expensive and difficult. I thought of 3point14, but that was too long. I came up with 3o14 that looks like 3.14 and is pronounced 3o14 but represents 3point14.

I love these places I have on the internet, they are a part of my personality and I don't think that I can ever lose them.
