To people confused about the link, copy and paste it instead. The owner of that site is trolling people with the HN referrer.

Not me, apparently. (No, seriously! I'm seeing the page I expect to see when I click that link in that comment. If I'd known jwz was doing what you claim he is, I'd have wrapped it with a referrer stripping bouncer or something. Sorry!)

Your browser is probably caching the page. If you click your link then do a hard refresh (hold shit & click) you'll see the redirect.

> hold shit & click
Such a beautiful inadvertency. Anyway, it should be solved now. Sorry!

God dammit, jwz.
Haha JWZ has done that to me before [0], as well. I think his method is to see an HN Referer, and then pounce with his Tinder profile pic.

Lol, he is redirecting referral traffic from hacker news to an imgur picture of a testicle mocking hacker news users.
Trolling level A+

Haha, some might argue that he has a point.

jwz doesn't like Hacker News so he redirects traffic from Hacker News to a picture of a testicle.

Btw, @dang: Can't you just automatically turn every jzw.org link into one redirecting through href.li or donotlink? Or maybe even to the archive.org version?

I'd say the archive.org version -- if he doesn't want HN pageviews, let's not give him any.

It would seem that his server auto-displays an image based on the referrer.
If you want to see the original article you have to copy and paste the URL into a browser yourself, and not click the link from this site.
Thirteen years ago: https://href.li/?https://www.jwz.org/doc/cadt.html
And we're still complaining about the very same problems in the very same project.
Edit: God dammit, jwz. Sorry, everybody. Should be safe now, I hope. (I can't see the troll for myself, so I don't know for sure, but if this thing strips the header like it claims to do, that should solve it.)
