I think, generally speaking, it’s a PHP standard practice and more broadly a scripting language practice, though it doesn’t really apply to Node. No pre-compiling is required, so you just ship the files. Especially true for anything that of

Seems like a valid thing to publicize, considering that even without logs they could be ordered to capture traffic for a specific client and that seems exactly like something the US would do. Edit: or ordered to redirect a certain customer

Withings is having some decent sales, so I was thinking about one of their low-end scales and their BP monitor, and maybe their thermometer because I need a reliable one and I’d spend about the same on one at the local pharmacy anyway. That

I’ve come to treat residential ISPs as basically a transit for HTTP. As someone else in the thread pointed out that’s all that 99.99% of customers care about, and unfortunately you’re talking about a lowest common denominator here.

I realize that having text files for various things like this is increasingly popular, but I just don’t get the value vs using something long standing like an abuse contact on your whois. We have this existing thing that no one uses, so i

I didn’t say the OP did, though it was implied. I was responding to a comment which did… context, my friend. Edit: so if OP wasn’t implying that their approach was better, what was the point of posting it? Wow, obtuse much?

First and foremost: get over it. Particularly in IT we all have these hopes and dreams and ideas. Don’t confuse those with anything viable that you’re actually going to do. Second: focus on what is doable and will take x hours to accomplish

I would never use Airbnb for a vacation, but if you’re staying anywhere for more than a week it gets cost prohibitive and really boring to stay at a hotel. I get so sick of eating out every damn meal…

Substitute “HTTP” with “SMTP” and you already have that today… SMTP in plain text isn’t generally used anymore, it’s always transported over TLS. Of course you can run whitelist-only, but how is that ever going to work? SMTP is text based a
