Are those USB naming schemes, or edgy usernames from 2000s like xXx_31Gen3x1HardCore_xXx?

And then there's .net classic and .net core. Making up two entirely separate names shouldn't be difficult for marketing executives.

 

So I got hold of a domain that shows my exact full name. I thought it would be useful for showing up as "professional" when working in IT and sending resumes.

I got some mail forwarded using the domain registrar. I also made a small static website, which only has hello world for now but soon will get the contents filled up.

But then... what? I suppose I can host anything I want, but then there's the whole "real name - gotta look professional" aspect that makes me weary of hosting a Lemmy instance, for example, when the domain without my name attached wouldn't.

I suppose having personal domains were cool in the 90s where people were barely learning about "the internets". Not so anymore?

Is there a usefulness in having a domain name with your real name attached on this age?

Arguing about the metaphors and analogies instead of actual topics? Saw plenty of those during college, especially when the guy in question was being a contrarian just to 'stick it to the man' and look cool to their buddies.

I thought working adults would grow out of it - nah, we're all dumb children inside, including me.
