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.
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 :)
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.
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.
That option is to lose their slot, if they lose their slots, they will probably lose an entire hub on their network that they can not regain.
It's not like you can just buy these slots back. In fact, slots are valuable for the simple reason that they can not be bought and sold. (unless airlines consolidate, and even then these transactions are heavily scrutinized)
You're basically saying it is better for them to tank their business so another airline can steal the slots from them.
And do you know what the competition will do? They will keep that slot at all cost regardless of whether their planes are full or not, because this is how airlines maintain their network.
Please consider familiarizing yourself with airline network operations before speaking authoritatively on the subject.
Pretty much every computer magazine from the mid-late 80s onward had lewd software ads in the back.
Alas, I was too young to cleverly find a way to purchase these without my parents finding out, and was never able to locate a BBS that hosted this type of content.
Sharing your salary is one thing.
