timdoug offers one-line opt-out (in /etc/hosts):
127.0.0.1 tcr.tynt.com
...and this is cross-browser and doesn't disappear when I clear my cookies.
- jamesbritt 16y agoBTW, are there any advantages to either that or 0.0.0.0 tcr.tynt.com ?
- jonursenbach 16y agoNo.
- bonsaitree 16y agoNo. They're both "reserved" loop-back addresses, but 127.0.0.1 has more cultural/conventional weight for this explicit purpose and also avoids any possible semantic overloads with dotted-quad zero and/or null values.
- jamesbritt 16y agoThanks. Since I have a local web server running that will respond on 127.0.0.1 I'd just as soon avoid the overhead of the wasted hit and rendering of the local page, unless there was some notable value to using that address over all nulls.
- inklesspen 16y agoYour local webserver will likely also respond on 0.0.0.0; if you bind to a port on 0.0.0.0, you listen on all interfaces, which is the default in apache.
- jamesbritt 16y agoAh, interesting. Thanks.
- bonsaitree 16y agoIndeed. Tynt is an absolute abomination going against both basic clipboard usability and Web content mores. I will forevermore pronounce Tynt as taint.
