Is it just random letters arrived to by keyboard mashing like a lot of federated websites seem, or is there any thought behind it?

Linux has directories (folders) that contain programs. The two major conventions are /bin (short for binary which is another name for an executable program) and sbin (system/super user binaries).

Kbin seems like a play off of that, don’t know what the k implies tho.
