I have fond memories of scripting for mIRC, it was one of my first dev languages, together with clipper and delphi/pascal.

I don't get what you mean. Access-Control-Allow-Origin supports a wildcard. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Ac...
I think what he meant is that the wildcard is not supported in the origin itself, for instance: https://*.somedomain.com.
per documentation, it's either "*" or "https://subdomain.somedomain.com"

>I don’t know a single person who pirates music anymore. It’s way too convenient to pay $5-10/month for unlimited access to nearly every record ever created.
Do you know any single person who travels outside of 4G coverage?
Because the $5/$10 mo doesn't do much for you in a National or State Park in the US two hours away from a major city.
if it's just travelling: most streaming services allow downloading music so you can listen offline for some time (ie spotify)

Doesn't look like this is a ping[0]! Which is good. Rather it is a socket stream connecting over tcp/443. Ping (ICMP) would be a poor metric.

why 443? are you assuming ssl here? serious question, I'm not sure.
But if it is, wouldn't it be hard to disregard the weight of SSL in the metric?
dopp0 commented on Just want simple TLS for your .internal network? github.com/nh2/internal-c... · Posted by u/nh2
This is exactly what I do. After seeing how much of my internal network was exposed in certificate transparency logs, I noped out and just do a DNS challenge for a wildcard for almost everything.
Now it’s have a nice script that distributes my key automatically to 20 or so hosts and apps and have a real SSL cert on everything from my UDM Pro to my Synology to random Raspberry Pis running containers. Most of which have domain names that only resolve on my local network.
This is made possible by a fairly robust DNS setup that consists of not only giving A records to all my hosts automatically, but also adding in CNAMEs for services and blocking almost all outbound DNS, DNS over TLS, DoH, etc.

looks nice, can you give more details on this? tks!

For people who like me mostly do Backend/Network/System development and who disagree on how helpfull LLMs are (basically a waste of time if you're using it for anything other than rubber ducking/writing tests cases/autocomplete), LLMs can basically write a working front-end page/component in 10s. Not an especially well-designed one, but "good enough". I find it especially shine in writing the html/css parts. It cannot write a FSM on its own, so basically when i write a page, i still write the states, actions and the reducer, but then i can generate the rest and it's really good.
which LLM are you using for those frontend usecases? chatgpt? and you ask in prompts for some framework such as tailwind?
Thanks for the memories. Good old times I was programming in SuperWaba for palmOS!

Yeah putting full unobfuscated links to malware or copyrighted content into your repository seems like an obvious way to get it blocked. If they masked the URLs a bit it might've been fine.
if they were obfuscated the urls the app itself would need to process it to un-obfuscate, then the performance would take a hit, but I get your point. It's just the wrong service to host this.
PS: could not check the link, as my country blocked twitter.
What happened to the website? I can't find where the bug fix listings are anymore.
