Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—e.g. article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. They're too common to be interesting.

GP was asking if it could cause an issue for the OP, not complaining about an annoyance. It's something that the OP may want to address.

I still think it is tangential. The author stated that they wrote this project to learn. The readme says that it is not intended for production use and that there is no networking set up in the containers.

With that context, I doubt that name collisions outside of the containers space are top of mind.

barco really just means "hay barrack" in my native language ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It means 'watercraft' or 'sea worthy ship' in Spanish, too. :)

In what language does it mean 'hay barrack'?

Indeed the wiki yields no matches

https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/barco

'Boat' in mine

If it was my project, I would want to know about a possible name collision. Saying it once seems fine.

It can be communicated directly to author outside of hn though.
