Why You Can't Visit 💀🎺.com 

Thanks again Aura for sponsoring this video! Check them out at aura.com/devdetour.

"tk" is close enough to "thank" so the domain reads as "skull trumpet thank" which is still fine

Being able to use the trumpet with no lips is commendable! Cheers to Mr. Skeltal

The ironic twist is that in 2022, both Firefox and Chrome reverted to displaying punycode instead of Unicode, following incidents involving fake Apple websites. Surprisingly, Apple continued to show Unicode despite being a genuine victim of homograph attacks.

"418 im a teapot" i was not expecting to ever actually see that.

Just small note. Originally all browsers were showing Unicode characters in the address bar. But when malicious actors started registering domains with homographs, Chrome/Firefox switched back to showing raw punycode. Only Safari is still showing Unicode for unknown reasons.

you should add a chat so people can thank mr skeltal in their own words

thank mr skeltal

Right off the top of my head, I can say: While you _can_ definitely use any unicode character in a domain name these days, doing so almost always breaks accessibility for somebody - and I don't mean for disabled people, but simply for people in parts of the world who don't have that specific character on their local keyboard layout. For me, typing an Ü or an ß is easy, but for an US citizen, it might be a great big hassle to do so. The one best, most compelling reason to restrict oneself to 7-bit-ascii characters in one's domain names is to maximize the potential visitor base.

"A branded email adress like *You@🌚👉👈* shows you take your business seriously." is the best part of this whole video.

This is the amount of info I learn in one month in school compressed into 6min and explained better

Dear Mr. Skeletal I am writing this letter to express my heartfelt gratitude for the incredible impact you have had on my life. Your presence, along with your newfound trumpet, has brought a melody of joy and transformation into my world, and I am forever changed because of you. When I first met you, Mr. Skeletal, I was captivated by your skeletal form and the air of mystery that surrounded you. But it was when you picked up that trumpet and began to play that I truly saw the magic within you. Your music has been a source of inspiration and comfort to me. It has lifted my spirits on the darkest of days and filled my heart with hope and joy. Your trumpet has a way of reaching deep into my soul, touching me in ways that words cannot express. But more than your music, Mr. Skeletal, it is your spirit that has touched me the most. Despite the challenges you face, you approach life with a sense of humor and lightness that is truly infectious. You have shown me that no matter what obstacles we may encounter, we can always find a way to make beautiful music out of them. You have also taught me the importance of embracing our talents and passions. Your love for music is evident in every note you play, and it has inspired me to pursue my own passions with the same fervor and dedication. So, thank you, Mr. Skeletal, for being such an amazing and inspiring presence in my life. Your music, along with your trumpet, has changed me in ways I never thought possible, and for that, I am eternally grateful. With heartfelt thanks and a song in my heart❤️

I just thanked mr skeltal and JESUS THAT'S LOUD

Thanks for leading me to a 40min documentary (link on the website) that made me cry, that was awesome haha

Just wanted to say, I liked this video so much, I actually signed-in to give it another watch and a like. It's rare for me to like tech-based videos outside the small group of RU-vidrs I watch, and even rarer for a video on networking/internet to teach me so many new things! I loved just about every part, even the sponsor bit was well done! And I got an unreasonable amount of joy to hear somebody else also pronounces Ko-Fi that way! I _am_ questioning your choice in terminal font though... but I can't blame you too much, those 7s look sweet.

i was under the impression that .tk domains were no longer registerable, where did you register this at?

Super cool video, can't wait to share this newfound knowledge with some unlucky individual at a house party.

you made me watch entire video of skull trimpet's history that I had no idea about!

Bro this video is so good you deserve more subs 🔥

For years I've known about how this works on the backend, but no one ever explained the attack vector that is why there is arbitrary restriction. The restriction still doesn't match the attack vector, but at least I now know there is a valid reason for it.

Also usually you are not allowed to have letters from different scripts, ie alphabets, in a domain name, in order to avoid things like the little o vs little omicron example shown in the video

Amazing video. Thank you so much for the information!

This is cool, thanks! When I first saw non-ascii domains I just assumed DNS was updated with UTF-8 support but I should've known better, with something like DNS or IP the inertia is too strong to just globally update it.

FUN FACT: the HOSTS file still exists in Windows TO THIS DAY and still takes priority over DNS. We IT people occasionally still use it, albeit once in a blue moon.

came onto this video to talk about the doot doot 💀🎺 and ended up learning how URLs and domains work

I love how in the beginning of the video Mr Skeltal has just 250 thanks and currently he has over 120 million.

this was unique and cool... i ❤ learning lol appreciate the knowledge friend

I understood and I never coded before. A true eli5 teacher ty

I had no idea about this "puny code"... Thanks! 👍

I suggest "some history of the skull trumpet" link to a playlist featuring the 2 Videos by Jeffiot regarding the skeleton origins instead of just the first one that's all from me Great video btw!!

A great video, thank you for making it.

Guy broke into your car defies stereotypes.

unrelated to the video but i'm so glad you put the history video of doot doot on the website lol

summary: because it isn't allowed

congrats on 10 million thanks!

very cool and informative, you earned a sub :)

Haha, interesting video! It makes me wonder why, in all these years that I've been going online, I had never tried an Emoji in a URL or e-mail address to see what it does until now! But now I know, heheh!

thats an interesting finding to me, thanks for the video and subbed

How did you even get a tk TLD? All websites that claim to be registers for tk domain don't work.

How did you get a .tk domain? I read the domain registar was closed?

How did you register a .tk domain? I thought freenom was down currently

This is a very strange sequel to the documentary on the origin of the trumpet gif, but I'll take it

My web protect (built into my wifi) dosent let me 😭

The question is how did you get a .TK domain now.

just hit 10mil thanks congrats

Very interesting, thanks!

The idea that a data broker who traffics in information that can be used to steal someone's identity would ever actually remove your data from their systems is patently absurd. They have no motivation to comply with the request and every motivation to not comply.

the counter is pure genius

Thanks Mr. Skeletal

I thanked the skeleton, and he thanked me.

Excellent video 💯👏👏👏👏👏

Chrome might or should only convert the domain name to punny code visually if it contains any disallowed characters

50 million total thanks so far

5:29 Wow this is crazy because my brother visited a site that was a USPS scam, and the link looked right, but when clicked and opened, it turned into letter scramble. I assume it was an embeded hyperlink in the text, but it was likely what was explained here.

The impostor was allowed as a crewmate, it is 2024 and now I can't take this out of my head please help

I’ve always wondered this!

thank mr skeletal :D

Moral of the story: Be extra careful with websites from Samoa, Tonga, Tokelau.

I thank mr skeltal

1:42 guy: “when-ever you ask to browser to go to a website” background: *asks google to go to a website quite literally*

thank you mr skeltal

1:39 that's such a sweet kind old grandma thing to google 😢😩

this will blow up

Thanks, mr skeletal

You need to do an update to this video addressing handshake (HNS) domains….

when did you register that domain?

Very interesting!

thank you mr skeltal and thank you cathy jarboe for creating him

P Sherman 42 Wallaby Ln Sydney Australia is the address of my dentist.

What registrar do you use for emoji domains?

thanks mr skeletal

very cool video, cheers

"How do we prevent Homograph Attacks?" I don't know, but we might be able to prevent homograph attacks.

am I the only one to have found out that when u click the right number of time on the thanks button there is a red text ? (I reloaded the page just after so I didn't see the text at all, that's why I don't know how many time u have to press the button

how does the thanks work?

it would be so good if you put the name of the skull emoji creator, that lady. +1 for linking the documentary of the guy finding that out.

my question is how the heck do you have a .tk domain i thought they shut it down

They killed my TK domain ...

the honk burnt my ears

"First introduced..."? How many times was it?

Somebody botted the site and mr trumpet is going haywire.

i somehow made a bot that makes the total thanks go brrrrrrrrrrrrr to make mr skeletal happy

The fact that Mr. Skeltal has roughly half of the views this video has is amazing.

Thanks mr skeltal, doot doot

6:03 i said "fuck that o" without even knowing

i thanked mr. skeltal

Where do you buy the .tk domain from?

thanks mr skeltal

Why is the counter get requests running in a timout every half second! (The obfuscated update method also makes Hi() lol)

Nice info

the skull and trumpet emojis aren't easily mistaken for any others though...

mr. skeltal is currently at 22.5 million thanks and is getting approximately 3,000 thanks per second

good video!

I watched the whole video a few months ago :D

How did you get a tk in 2024? freenom won't even respond when I click on the check availability button.

freenom got nuked and the .tk tld can't be used how did you get one and how is it still up? the fuck

I thought tk domains were taken down, or is that just freenom?

102 million thanks to mr skeletal

the problem with the idea of storing the whole internet locally includes archiving tons of illegal content but hell, at least your search history won't be tracked

3:37 the eggplant emoji in frequently used 💀
