> it's more fun and personally rewarding to do new stuff, than fight the hard compatibility fight

Thirteen years ago: https://href.li/?https://www.jwz.org/doc/cadt.html

And we're still complaining about the very same problems in the very same project.

Edit: God dammit, jwz. Sorry, everybody. Should be safe now, I hope. (I can't see the troll for myself, so I don't know for sure, but if this thing strips the header like it claims to do, that should solve it.)

View on HN

To people confused about the link, copy and paste it instead. The owner of that site is trolling people with the HN referrer.

Not me, apparently. (No, seriously! I'm seeing the page I expect to see when I click that link in that comment. If I'd known jwz was doing what you claim he is, I'd have wrapped it with a referrer stripping bouncer or something. Sorry!)

Your browser is probably caching the page. If you click your link then do a hard refresh (hold shit & click) you'll see the redirect.

> hold shit & click

Such a beautiful inadvertency. Anyway, it should be solved now. Sorry!

God dammit, jwz.

Haha JWZ has done that to me before [0], as well. I think his method is to see an HN Referer, and then pounce with his Tinder profile pic.

NSFW: Picture of a testicle

What?

jwz doesn't like Hacker News so he redirects traffic from Hacker News to a picture of a testicle.

static hosting is hard

JWZ redirects all accesses with Referer: news.ycombinator.com to this image [NSFW] http://imgur.com/32R3qLv

Haha, some might argue that he has a point.

Lol, he is redirecting referral traffic from hacker news to an imgur picture of a testicle mocking hacker news users.

Trolling level A+

jwz is such a...unique individual.

Btw, @dang: Can't you just automatically turn every jzw.org link into one redirecting through href.li or donotlink? Or maybe even to the archive.org version?

I'd say the archive.org version -- if he doesn't want HN pageviews, let's not give him any.

It would seem that his server auto-displays an image based on the referrer.

If you want to see the original article you have to copy and paste the URL into a browser yourself, and not click the link from this site.
