On: Self-Hosting on the Dark Web

[dherls]

What is the benefit of building the same website twice with different hostnames instead of using relative links to content on the same domain?

[dalvrosa → dherls]

Fair point. Very small things like RSS, canonical link or og:url or microformats use absolute URL

To make sure once in the .onion, you never leave the .onion

Website impersonation/fronting is a big problem in onionland, this at least makes fronters need to take more effort.

[breakingcups → xena]

Not enough to be worth it.
