This is most likely an attempt to connect to a webserver on your own device to collect data and/or do tracking.

Remember back in June when Facebook/meta got caught tracking users trough a webserver on Android phone thought Messenger and Instagram? Same thing.

See: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44169115 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44175940

Why do you say that’s most likely?

This is a common pattern for connecting to smart cards / hardware security devices. Probably a service or hardware that’s run on official CBP machines that should be disabled for prod, but forgot.

This is by far the most likely reason.

I personally use pages that authenticate via a smartcard using this exact scheme.

There is a Java "plugin" that is nothing but a mini webserver that listens on a specific port and performs authentication.

How are you so sure?

On windows it is still my go-to filemanager (although double commander does the same)

vi(m), sc (the spreatsheet), awk, Perl (for quick oneliners), mutt, grep, tcpdump

Because it can already export to CSV/TSV and exporting to json has no direct added value?

Note that Excel and Google Sheet can also not export to sc (spreadsheet calculator), to DuckDB, etc. Just because something is possible, does not mean it therefore must exist.

JSON is less sketchy than CSV because of many security risks (https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/279321/preventi...). I can foresee this be added in the future alongside CSV because it's more solid

s/MySQL/MariaDB/

* It works out of the box, and continues to work with no (or only minimal) tuning (no vacuum, etc)

* Scaling up through replication is straightforward

* Every techstack supports MySQL/MariaDB

In short: Good enough, No drama.

In my experience developers prefer PostgreSQL, while SysOps / DevOps / SRE's prefer MariaDB.

I always disliked that saying, because i'm never in it for the money. Money often follows, through paths I could not imagine when starting the adventure, but it was never the goal.

Following your interests and going on weird adventures/side-tracks outside your comfort-zone won't make you very rich, but you'll always have enough, and a life that is fun.

It helps if you don't care to much about collecting useless stuff: Travel light!

"Trust, but verify"

Used mostly in bookkeeping and nucleair monitoring, but very usefull outside it as well.

Don't take life too seriously. You'll never get out of it alive anyway.

In other words: relax, experiment, take a change on new or weird things, and don;t believe that the thing you're working on right now is super-duper important in the big scheme of things. Consider the size of the Universe (Douglas Adam's style), and remember that any change you make (even if traveling at the speed of light), will still be insignificant for the universe. Use this information not to paralyse you, but gain a sense of unlimited freedom.

You are free.

Not low latency, but onion-adresses/services are actually ideal for this. You only need to know the onion adress, to know that you connect to the correct node.

* encrypted * automatic NAT punching * complete location independence * use 0MQ with tor as transport if you want a queue on top .

Or if it has to be fast and low latency: 0MQ with eliptic curve encryption.
