You can use a service explicitly meant for that like http://neverssl.com.


That URL redirects to https://quietlushsilvermorning.neverssl.com/online/

An https URL. I assume this is some sort of joke.


That's normal and intentional: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20584848

If it does lead to an HTTPS page, I believe that only happens when your browser tries HTTPS before HTTP (if it tries HTTP at all).

The irony has not gone unnoticed: https://twitter.com/NeverSSL/status/1456310362551164928


But that doesn't explain why they do it.


From my HN link:

> 1. Why does neverssl.com use Javascript to redirect to a random subdomain?

> Over the last year users reported that some networks aggressively cache the fake DNS and pages they use for wifi capture. Neverssl.com now works around this generating a request to a random subdomain - this will bust any DNS cache, and any HTTP cache. It also means that if your browser or ISP caches the Neverssl.com page itself, that's fine.


That doesn't explain why networks aggressively caching a fake DNS is a problem for their website without SSL redirects.


It doesn't do that for me.


He also has a fantastic ProTracker clone as well as a bug fixed version of the Amiga ProTracker. Together, they make for a great way to write Amiga tunes that you can still edit and playback on real hardware.


Monetization is the easy part, a plugin that adds advertisements, paid subscriptions, or some other form of monetization could easily be made if there was a demand for it.

The real barrier issue is that of network effect. There's simply (almost) no audience, which means there are (almost) no creators, which means there is (almost) no audience.

I've been publishing my videos on my own peertube instance for a while and I really do appreciate it as a platform, but I don't think that the technical aspects of it alone will ever be the key to its potential success.


Even if one thinks we need to bail out the _companies_ to prevent more severe economic collapse, we could still arrest plenty of those who were in charge of these organizations.


As much as I'd like to see Sam and Dario fall from power, I don't think they should be the ones going to prison for this. Investors gave them money full well knowing there would be no return until they could steal from retail investors when the companies IPO.


At least queryquinton is still around:

At least queryquinton.com is still alive.


If your plumber was doing regular work for you that brought you significant, expensive-to-replace value then you _should_ pay him more.


Rather than outright disabling it, I wish it was a permission the site would have to request.

That way trusted sites that used it responsibly could be given permission, but it could not be used by any random site.


This is the way.


I could definitely see value in filters for "has RSS" and "has recent posts"—maybe even as the default view—but I absolutely agree that this is much less interesting to me without the wider world of interesting, small sites.


I'm pretty sure that NobodyNada knows this, but for pedants out there using Bb instead of A# is specifically a classical European music notation thing.

There's nothing wrong with using A# and plenty of other notations do. For a modern, hacker-y example, tracker notation only uses sharps).
