Happy New Year everyone! I hope 2024 brings us more love, peace and knowledge.


Merry Christmas to everyone on HN! May 2024 be a happy and successful year for all of us and may it also bring us more to read and learn. Reading is fundamental and on HN there is always something to read about. I have been on HN for 2 years, 7 months and 23 days and I look forward to remain a part of this wonderful community :).


Happy New Year!


I would also like to say that being a part of the Hacker News website and community is golden. I think that I have said enough...

Besides that, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone!

Just wait and see till all those thirsty script kiddies start abusing these even more now.

On a side note, those who write router software like this need to step up their security and stop being lazy. Seriously.


Can confirm. https://spotify.com is now working fine.


Can unconfirm. I can see their website but the app isn't playing nicely at all

Any non-offline playlists/songs just sit there not playing or telling me I'm offline

edit @ 37min: App also seems to be working again now


It could also easily be used for phishing or IP logging purposes. Poor attempt though, almost everyone is now aware of unicode in domain names, and anyone techie enough would be able to spot it.


I don’t agree. I think almost every _technical_ user is aware of this practice, but I don’t think generally it’s understood.

That said, I think it’s mostly ineffective because later versions of chrome are pretty good about identifying these doppelgänger domains and warning people away from them.


Yet, I feel not everyone is technically literate enough.

This could very be a risk. I was using Chrome when I found this out, I wasn't given any such warning.

It'd be good with chrome can offer some discouragement to these.


I could see that easily being missed, it's not displayed as punycode in the firefox url bar.


One can simply set network.IDN_show_punycode to true in their about:config
