Took the article pointing out that the c and r were transposed for me to even notice there was a problem!

The problem here is GitHub's terrible domain name.

The container registry has a horrible name.

Why does it seem companies hate subdomains so much? Why is this not just registary.github.com or something? It's like they are trying to get people to fall for phishing by creating so many random domains.
