Sorry for being obtuse, but could you please explain what I'm missing. I hope to be one of today's lucky 10,000

  Click on your link that you just posted.

  If you click the link you see a picture of an egg that looks like a hairy testicle with a quote complaining about HN. (Assuming you use a browser that sends the referer header)

    Lol. I don't know why, but apparently my browser isn't sending the referrer header, and I'm using vanilla chrome on Android. EDIT: Sorry, I think it might actually just be that because I first visited that page before coming in via HN, I've just been seeing the cached version of the real page, instead of the DDoS-protecting testicle.

  Jamie (JWZ) doesn't like Hacker News, so like several other sites he detects this site in referrer headers sent by browsers and if it's present you get a custom image instead of what you wanted to read. I think it's currently this: https://cdn.jwz.org/images/2016/hn.png https://cdn.jwz.org/images/2016/hn.png

    >Jamie (JWZ) doesn't like Hacker News Having read his blog for years, I don't think he likes anything or anyone. Not even his nightclub, based on his the past 2.5 years simultaneously a) describing COVID19 as an existential threat to humanity, b) insisting on/bragging about maintaining super-strict requirements for patrons (when San Francisco loosened restrictions, he of course denounced the city as going "against science"), and c) lamenting the continued money drain that his club is.
