  Uh... that link has an interesting redirect.

      In my defense, I'd read about it on his blog, but years ago. I'd completely forgotten about it. Oh well.

  You can't link to Jwz directly from hn, because jwz is a man-child https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/ https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https:/...

    That's weird, the site loads fine for me (macOS with Safari). Is it supposed to redirect elsewhere if it's clicked on hacker news? Edit: I tried it on Firefox and Chrome, and it does indeed redirect to that ... image. But it doesn't do so with Safari (latest version, latest macOS). What is Safari doing differently? Not passing along the referrer?

      If your HTTP referer is HN, it redirects to https://cdn.jwz.org/images/2024/hn.png https://cdn.jwz.org/images/2024/hn.png

        Rumor has it that photo is of one of JWZ's actual testicles, which he had removed and photographed just to spite HN, long before AI image generation was a thing. He's such a dedicated troll!
