Yes. Absolutely. There’s a fuck ton of things you shouldn’t tip for. This is not one of them.

Agreed on word fence.

I didn’t say to specify a port in the DNS. I just said that it is a way that we can resolve a resource.

In the case of ports we’d configure it through whatever webserver (Apache, nginx, traefik, whatever) configs necessary on that machine. The DNS in this scenario would only be for the machines IP where our webserver then routes traffic to different ports.

I was accounting for both valid setups.

Them’s the rules.

Hey, looks, a reason to uninstall Apple News+

That’s fucking hysterical.

The balls on that guy to try to float Bitcoin as good for the environment.

He’d be better off impersonating OPEC.

That suggested, it could be done with ports, or it could be done with separate servers.

Domain.com resolves to 1.2.3.4

www.domain.com resolves to 1.2.3.4:443

app.domain.com resolves to 1.2.3.4:5555

Games.domain.com resolves to 1.2.5.6

Mail.domaim.com resolves to 1.2.7.8

Portal.domain.com resolves to 1.2.9.10

Etc, etc.

Reddit is a psyop. Change my mind.

I tag people that argue in bad faith, and if I see it again, I usually block them.

The real joke would have been

A free campaign with a multiplayer menu that allows you to spend $100 or play slot machines for hours to acquire a T-shirt for your character.

Lol you can totally do it in a home server application. It’s even okay if I’m a e-commerce store to use wildcard for example.com and shop.example.com. not a best practice, but not idiotic.

Not idiotic unless you also have a hq.example.com that forwards a port into your internal network…

…where ftp://hq.example.com takes you to an insecure password shield, and behind it is the SSL certificate, just chillin for anyone to snag and use as a key to deobfuscate all that SSL traffic, going across your network, your shop, your whole domain.

My vornado set a trend in college because of how well it would depressurize our dorm rooms while smoking weed.

Bernoulli’s principle y’all.

I’ve always contended that you shouldn’t care about what turns someone on unless you wanna fuck em.

I have posted about this before. I’m pretty sure I win.

I’m not going to name names. I worked for a company, three of their clients include the United States Air Force, the United States army, and the United States Navy. They also have a few thousand other clients, private sector, public, and otherwise. Other nation states services as well.

I worked for this company quite recently, which should make what I’m about to tell you all the more alarming. I worked for them in 2021.

Their databases were ProgressABL. I linked it because if you’re younger than me, there’s a slim chance in hell you’ve ever heard of it. I hadn’t. And I’m nearing 40.

Their front end was a bunch of copy/pasted JavaScript, horribly obfuscated with no documentation and no comments. Doing way more than is required.

They forced clients to run windows 7, an old version of IE, all clients linked together, to us, in the most hilariously insecure 1990s-ass way imaginable, through tomcat instances running on iis on all their clients machines.

They used a wildcard SSL for all of their clients to transact all information.

That SSL was stored on our local FTP server. We had ports forwarded to the internet at large.

The password for that ftp server was 100% on lists. It was rotated, but all of the were simple as fuck.

I mean, “Spring2021”. Literally. And behind that? The key to deobfuscate all traffic for all of our clients!!

The worst part was that we offered clients websites, and that’s what I worked on. I had to email people to have them move photos to specific directories to get them to stop failing to load, because I didn’t have clearance to the servers where we stored our clients photos.

We had legit secure servers. We used them for photos. We left the keys to the fucking city in the prize room of a maze a 12 year old could solve.

Holy shit.

Even though YouTubes search is fucked it still works incredibly well for Simpsons clips.

Search “premium dude”. Bam.

Search “prawns galaxy”. Bam

Search “undivided attention”. Bam.

It’s crazy. For whatever reason, if you’re looking for Simpsons content, the algorithm still feels like it’s 2017.

That’s awful. But that’s also Florida.

Hahaha. I purposely got a jibberish .xyz domain. If they ever ask for more than the $9.99 a year they can pound sand.

If you live where it snows

HOLY SHIT ABSOLUTELY.

If not, meh.

It is absolutely a dangerous life lol.

I keep everything backed up. It was a temporary purchase that I fully did not expect to last 5 years.

It’s literally been a clicker since day 1 lol.

No failures. No slow reads. Just a zombie beast.

Just tattoo a 3x5 index card over it first.
