Basically, a router somewhere in Russia claimed to be the owner of some ip addresses belonging to Google, Facebook, etc. Other neighbouring routers began forwarding packets from actual users to this router. The packets contain the HTTPS requests people were making to these sites.

FWIW, as a mostly Android user, the latest Oreo update was pretty terrible as well. Its all about adding new "features" just for new features sake isnt it.

Note that this is intended and desirable for any server with moderate to high loads. Plus, Nginx can reload its configuration gracefully without dropping connections.

I've been greeted by obvious bugs in their UI too many times to count. Its the only "major" website I've ever come across with amateur mistakes. I can't recall any specifically, but +1 on not spending more than 10 seconds on it. And to be fair, the new UI seems to be cleaner so far.

Right, true. Collaborative drawing was basically the "hello world" of real-time platforms back in the day (Firebase, Parse etc). But I think most of those were ephemeral canvases.

Now I'm curious, Are there any websites that do something similar to /r/place? (hackathon idea?)
Also, reminds be of the million dollar front page [1].

You're right, we should build a CloudFlare competitor based on ATS and take over the market.

As far as htaccess support, from the couple Shared hosting providers I've used, lighttpd has been the server of choice.

Fair point, but,
> if you want your webserver to do something complex, you'd go for Apache
I would tend to disagree. Assuming "complex" = "business logic", Apache hardly seems the right choice. PHP/Python/Node/GoLang or Lua right inside nginx would be more appropriate in most cases, imo.
