    If you use android, use firefox. that way you can do dope shit like listen to youtube with no ads while texting, if use ublock.

    If you use an iphone, kill yourself.

    Go for it, ISS is designed to work with javascript off. There's a toggle in your user settings to disable JS, you don't have to use it but it'll make the no-js experience slightly better (as I recall making spoilers work is the big one). If you're interested in the tracker the code is here:

    https://github.com/lanny/houston

    It records page views and UA strings for analytics, and that's about it.

    Block a couple of crawlers that are particularity rude on rate limiting or don't follow robots.txt (oh boy, hope t2k1 doesn't read this) and UA distribution informed what client side features I can add

    Originally posted by BeigeWarlock it can retro delete a webpage or text file. it's seen as a simple text file (non executable) but is somehow programmed to have a timer or backdoor to allow the person who posted it to erase it at a later time.

    I think Trump recently got into it with Spez on Reddit for deleting out a AMA post or something on Trumps personal account.

    I believe the defense for Spez was "It was a robot.txt" as if to suggest trump or a staff/employee of his deleted it or Trump himself.

    not sure if I got that story right about Trump but in general that is what robot text is. and when I was booted and IP banned.. the page first said "you're banned".. with a robot.txt on the page. that's the first time I learned about it. forgot about it and came across it years later to find out what again it was.

    And it also is supposed to block crawlers. but archive was different. it didn't prnt copy it made it's own web pages in Im guessing it's own proprietary version of html. so it was able to snapshot and remake the pages. those pages were later removed. perhaps the language didn't matter because either robot.txt took care of it (meaning someone backdoor into it) or someone at archive.org removed them.
