  I’m about that same age but am so glad we’ve largely abandoned the “www” for websites.

  On my personal project website, I have a custom listener setup to redirect people to “aarp.org” if they enter it with “www” instead of just the base domain.

  server {
      listen              443 ssl;
      http2		on;
      server_name         www.mydomain.xyz;
  
      ssl_certificate     /etc/letsencrypt/live/mydomain.xyz/fullchain.pem;
      ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/mydomain.xyz/privkey.pem;
      ssl_dhparam         /etc/nginx/conf.d/tls/shared/dhparam.pem;
      ssl_protocols       TLSv1.2 TLSv1.3;
      ssl_session_cache   shared:SSL:10m;
      ssl_session_timeout 15m;
    
      ...
      
      location ~* {
        return 301 https://aarp.org/;
      }
  }

    that’s… a terrible idea for a portfolio site of any sort. why would you intentionally hamper accessibility? what if their company VPN automatically routes yoursite.org to www.yoursite.org? i personally wouldn’t spend the time spending out why i was looking at AARP, i’d just pass you over and not hire you, let alone reach out.

      I don’t think it works the way you think it does.

        no, i think i know how things work enough to know this is a shitty idea.

        that excerpt is going to do a 301 redirect to the AARP site for any requests to www.yoursite.xyz - that’s 100% not up for debate.

        there are a fair amount of things, especially in a corporate environment, that automatically append www. to any URL passed. you think a hiring manager is going to care that it’s a quirky technical joke? why would you make it more difficult to access a portfolio who’s entire purpose is to be as accessible as possible for the target audience?
