A long time ago, after Flickr got acquired by Yahoo, I decided to make my own web app to host my photos because I had found the perfect domain for it:

https://pi.ctu.re

I also needed to build another app to fetch and resize the images, and found it neat to use the following:

https://infra.stru.ctu.re

In term of users the service never went anywhere and it's quite dated now but it doesn't cost much to keep it online and it's open source.

Ha! I love how you used one domain to get 2 names (or what these can be called?)

le.ctu.re is also a viable option ;)

Also this reminds of del.icio.us (not sure about the placement of that first dot, though). Epic domain and legendary service. RIP!

One about the annoying things about Maciej is that he acquired Delicious the domain .icio.us, but never did anything auspicious, maybe suspicious or malicious with the latter.
Thanks, del.icio.us was what inspired me at the time to find this domain hack, it was indeed epic!
