Watch out, this gives a NSFW redirect

Is owner of the server playing some tricks, when I tried that URL on Firefox Focus on my phone, it is just the text and I believe what parent wanted to submit, but indeed it looks fishy, I got 403 when tried to see what the redirect was using curl.

What did showed for you?

jwz isn't a fan of this site. Last I checked, if the referer was news.ycombinator.com, it redirected to a testicle in an egg cup.

Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, I'll use a testicle in an egg cup." Now they have two problems.

This is one reason I love having changed network.http.referer.XOriginPolicy[1] in Firefox. I never send the referer to third party domains, and I've only ever seen one or two sites broken because of this. It's a vast improvement for privacy as well.

Once you go to the link directly, it appears to work fine coming from HN? It seems to work consistently if you visit (from this thread) in a new tab

[rrix2 → spondyl]

jwz's entire site checks your Referer header and does this if it comes from HN.

Copy paste it, don't click a jwz link from HN.
