Just found that Immich has a "Cursed Knowledge" page.

"Cursed knowledge we have learned as a result of building Immich that we wish we never knew."

Every project should have this.

I wish I had collected my cursed knowledge encounters over the years. Probably would have amassed a small Necronomicon by now 👻

Few interesting conclusions from this situation:
- One company has power to flag competitors websites as “dangerous” in the most popular browser
- If you want your website to be rendered back in that browser you have to have Google account (and Google might ban you for life, so having account is not guaranteed)

Here's some Cursed Knowledge. I've been setting up local DNS but for some reason I couldn't get local, unqualified host names to work on my Mint 21 machines.

Turns out it's systemd. It has a built in resolver that won't resolve an unqualified hostname because Poettering misread an IAB doc and blocked it for everyone.

https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/2514#issuecomment-562963754

The fix is to set ResolveUnicastSingleLabel=yes in /etc/systemd/resolved.conf and restart systemd-resolved.
