This is a great story, thanks for sharing!

Edit: if someone need the url at work: https://m.slashdot.org/story/17042

If you go to that page, it is a good read. Then you hit the back button to get back here, and it just reloads the page.

Why?

Because slashdot are assholes.

That's like a whole level extra of sad because it's not that someone was oblivious to list context in perl, but that they knew about it but didn't quite get it right.

Or, it was purposeful, and he liked how it left out the attributions to single line quotes or made a weird half-aside out of multi-line ones, and it's just another case of someone not realizing put some random content up under your own name can lead to problems. Also sad, but less unique.

Lol. I clicked this on my (managed) work laptop, and immediately got a Compliance warning popup. I don't know what I expected...

Same. "Your organization's policy prohibits access to websites categorized as Tasteless & Offensive.". How rude!

Ahhh, devSecOps. This guys banned lastpass.com or storage.googleapis.com because of "security" in company I justed to work.

Facebook will automatically censor a lot of them, lol.

This is awesome!
Re:A URL Lengthener by Robotbeat on Friday May 14, 2021 @02:04PM (#27157576)
That is hilarious... And potentially practical! One way to discourage security-conscious strangers from clicking on your links!

Heh it can't handle URL Lengthened URLs.
Re:A URL Lengthener by Sohcahtoa82 on Friday May 14, 2021 @02:47PM (#27158211)
Hilarious!

Though I'm kind of disappointed about the lack of HTTPS support on that site.

Sounds quite on brand to me!
Re:A URL Lengthener by raldu on Friday May 14, 2021 @03:31PM (#27158741)
And wouldn’t that be actually a feature!
Re:A URL Lengthener by 0-_-0 on Friday May 14, 2021 @03:33PM (#27158772)
Yeah, that seems shady...
Re:A URL Lengthener by retpirato on Friday May 14, 2021 @08:46PM (#27161198)
I assume this is a joke, right? A real shady url certainly wouldn't use https.
Re:A URL Lengthener by Sohcahtoa82 on Monday May 17, 2021 @01:23PM (#27185846)
Not necessarily. It's trivial and free to get certificates. A lot of shady sites are using them now.

And by the ads... They start playing and you have 10 secs to guess where you were sent.

Re:A URL Lengthener by reputet on Saturday May 22, 2021 @07:48PM (#27251257)
Great tool!

But for some reason it doesn't recognize https://x.org as a valid URL.

Brilliant.
