I was surprised to visit itjust.works (without the sh.) and find an IT company. How did the url sh.itjust.works come to be, amazing name and all?

Haha, well sir: that IT company owns the itjust.works TLD and apparently someone there used the same domain for the instance. Sh is just a subdomain of itjust.works.

Fine and hilarious folks at itjust.works: get a certificate for your webpage!

If you click on the logo for XIRGO it takes you to a site with a certificate. I think whoever owns XIRGO set up the itjust.works domain for some redirects and decided lemmy would be the best time to use the domain. @TheDude Am i right?

That makes sense. I have a defunct personal business domain that I’ve been thinking of repurposing for an instance.
