I'm not sure why the admins of nanog's site should particularly care about appeasing the js tinfoil hat set. i mean, computers computing! who will stop this madness! ---------------------------------------------
Not the tin foil hat crowd, security. Computers be computing with or without security. Many turn off JS. Especially in this crowd. The only time I wanted to use the site anyway was to find a thread as I can't seem to find them well in search engines. For example, what was the thread about SOHO firewalls and pfsense not too long ago? I can't remember what everyone was saying about a pfsense replacement as pfsense is no longer what it was. I am having to greenfield my home network and want to find a nerdable "dual WAN' firewall. That's off topic, though, as it's just a home network question.
Unless your $DAYJOB consists solely of not using browsers whatsoever, you cannot function without javascript. Ironically it seems that the way to disable javascript is to install a browser extension. which is both javascript and outside the browser sandbox. *those* i fear. Mike
