Why Kaiiorg.wtf?

Jul 27, 2020

I already had a website when I registered kaiiorg.wtf. The problem was that I didn't want to use that domain/website to publicly host stuff with a domain name that made it trivial to figure out my full name; if someone is going to dox me, I'd rather they put in more than no work. I'm sure it'd only take marginally more than no work to figure that out, but if you were determined to find out, I doubt there'd be much I could actually do to stop you.

I also had been needing to rebuild that website. I originally wrote it in static HTML, then rebuilt it in Angular after I learned how to do Angular things. I moved it to github pages, but it had been broken the entire time I had it there. Deploying a ghost container and using cloudflare made it pretty damn easy to stand up a new blog.

What's a "Kaiiorg"?

Kaiiorg is the handle I've been using on the internet for years now. I don't do anything too crazy with it, so I'm not worried about it being linked to my name.

The name itself actually came from the random name generator in Rift, though I think it was something like Laiiorg and I changed the L to a K as I am partial to that letter.

Why *.wtf?

Because I thought it would be funny. That and I couldn't decided between all the domains that Cloudflare supports.

I ended up settling between the afformentioned *.wtf tld and the *.tech and *.io tlds, since those seemed to be the hot things in tech right now. I went with *.wtf because the *.tech and the .io domains were like $35 and $45 a year, respectively. kaiiorg.wtf was funny enough to justify the $20 a year. Now HR departments will delete my resumes in record time!
