I think you are confused.

Sharing your salary is one thing.

Saying that you are an employee at X company and make X dollars is giving away both your salary and corporate information.

The key is not involving the company. Share your salary as much as you want, but don't go on social media and say 'I work for X' unless you are actually their representative.

You're equating horrible experience with cross platform architectures, whereas there are any number of reasons apps can be bad.

It is perfectly possible to build a poor app in any language.

All web servers respond to all hostnames. It is the default unless you have configured it otherwise.

In the event you are doing virtual hosts in Apache, you just add a single line:

ServerAlias www.example.com

And your webserver will respond when queried via this hostname.

So, even in the worst case scenario, we are talking about two very basic lines of text to accomplish your goal.

The whole setup should take about 60 seconds.

I am not trying to say that your approach is wrong, but just that there is a much simpler way to go about accomplishing this goal.

As far as "overthinking it".. I think we are going to have to disagree here because I am unable to see how your method of reverse engineering can possibly be simpler than something that takes practically no time or effort.

At any rate, this is not an argument, I just want you to be aware of your options as you continue your research.

I wish you luck as you continue exploring, and thanks for the writeup :)

Your comments give me the impression this isn't totally clicking just yet.

All that is necessary is to add an entry in your hosts file for hidusi[.]com that points to the IP of your existing server.

That's it. Step completed.

No localhost, no new site, just using what you have already.

In the event you are filtering hostnames on your web server, you would just add hidusi[.]com as another alias.

Please let me know if this is not clear because I believe understanding this concept will help you in the future.

This concept is not about explaining things in terms a 6 year old can understand.

It's about understanding the subject matter well enough that if necessary you could simplify and elaborate on topics to bring your audience to your level of understanding.

(i.e. - understanding your subject vs. being able to recite facts)

You really come to terms with how well you know a subject when you sit down and try to teach it to someone else.

Every system has a hosts file that you can edit for exactly this purpose.

No need to set up DNS at all.

Your system will resolve whatever hostnames you want to whatever IP addresses you want. You just add the entries to a text file.

It will always override whatever results come from DNS.

The author definitely went the long way with this approach.

They will have one soon, and they have a mobile browser already, which is my default.

We don't have bank account fees.

Another fun fact: pretty much everyone here pays off their credit card every month.

The bank will close your account if you do not.

Of course there are exceptions, but this is the general rule.

(if you need money the bank will lend it to you and help you arrange payments)

It's definitely not legal to employ you as an FTE

Just like if someone from the US came to your country, your country will 100% prevent you from hiring them without significant life-changing effort.

Hopefully your negotiation for additional pay goes in your favor.

Good luck!

150% shameless cash grab and one of the largest wastes of community goodwill in some time.

Honestly if it weren't for the shady actions you described, I maybe could have bit my tongue.

But the wizard-of-oz game they are playing has been enough for me to tell people to contact me on Telegram instead.

Do they not realize they are taking trust away from signal? (aka the primary reason people use the app)

Your analogy is slightly better, but even then it still misses the whole idea of hubs and connecting flights, because it's not just your trip to the beach, it's a whole network of cars trips to the beach that also depend on your trip to the beach in order for the system to function.

Once you start removing trips and other people take your parking spot, you don't always get your parking spot back or even one close, sometimes you might have to find all your cars a new beach to use.

These aren't items that are bought and sold. If you give up your slot, you can not buy it back at any price.

Now your have to re-route your whole airline network.

The value is in terms of not bankrupting your company.
