That’s a reputable looking domain if I’ve ever seen one
It’s a punycode domain, it’s how non-Roman characters in domain names are represented. Your browser will convert it to the actual Unicode characters in the address bar (and if you type them in yourself and hit enter, it’ll get translated into punycode for the actual request)
This is the Japanese katakana spelling out “Mariusu” so I’m guessing the author is called Marius
I’ve heard it’s a security feature not ro render unicode in the url because otherwise people could use Unicode lookalike characters to spoof a domain.

The term “Human” does not include people who primarily read non latin-based languages silly

Shit, I forgot that Human now just means the native English-speaking world.
Ideally they should show both side by side.

Let’s say that I go to google.com. The UI shows
https://google.com/. No punycode because it is plain ascii. Everything is as expected.Now let’s say I click on a link for googӏe.com. The ui shows
https://xn--googe-hof.com/ (googӏe.com)I’d be like, holy shit that is a shady URL!That’s how I imagine it helping, although I am not a UI expert. There could be a better way. But that googӏe.com scares me – I can’t visually tell that it is not a normal lowercase “l”.
P.S. for the URL in question,
https://xn--gckvb8fzb.com/ (マリウス.com)I imagine that if I went to it frequently, I might begin to recognize the punycode, sorta like how people recognize rickroll URLs.
NGL that is a beautiful website

Don’t worry, you can instead visit this reputable URL: https://cheap-bitcoin.online/scanner-hijacker/malicious-payload/trojan_extractor_tool.msi?firewall=tamper&id=11aa4591&origin=spoof&payload=(function(){+return+undefined%3B+})()%3B&sessiontoken=spoof&useragent=inject

The FQDN is only a translation lookup between a human readable name and an IP address, it doesn’t say anything about the trustworthiness of the content or its operators, it’s just a name. DNS exists for convenience not establishing trust.
What a beautifully designed website
Footnote: The artwork was generated using AI
Ehhhhhhh…
Yeah, it is the rest that caught my eye…
Centralized weak point. Not weak against DDOS but for abuse from Cloudflare.
What an awesome website! Its literary a goldmine of good information on privacy tips!
it’s a real bummer, yeah.
but a free tier CF account has the potential to completely solve your AI scraper traffic problems with very little configuration.
The writer doesn’t want to rely on others services, but uses AI for artwork?
