I've been building sites like this for over 20 years now. Interesting that it seems to be only doing IPv4. I really love the simplicity of https://icanhazip.com which inspired the way I've build my own stuff like this

I am honestly perplexed by the recent history of "lobbying" being rolled up into bribery. Would love a linguistic interpretation of what is going on with that word.

Once you let your domain expire you no longer have any say over what happens with the domain so no, not really. I would just recommend cleansing the domain from any systems you may have used it on and ensuring that you have no other technic

Echoing what others are saying. This is just too much. I have been on both sides of this process. As a candidate, show you respect my time by being direct about the process (how long will it take? What fundamentals are you looking for?

Maybe it's just me, but I'd argue that they should bring compatibility info closer to the demo section. While I do appreciate the mention in the FAQ at the bottom, that is pretty far away from where the demo occurs.

Agreed, when I have done a mass migration of old format urls I started with 302s to ensure that things worked then moved to 301s. I actually wrote a script that would capture and collect all urls that led to a 404 (just in case I missed an

Yea, I went into this article looking for data to back up this claim and found none. While every large company is going to have some waste, saying it's half is quite the claim that needs more data.
