It doesn’t actually run anything though so I’m not super worried.maybe it isn't secure? Why does it sayinstead of#http://
#https://
How did you find this?
Also, this gives the same error message as
fun.scratch.mit.edu
and
keyboard-spam-fjsosbwtqoshxmcb.scratch.mit.edu
So, I don’t even think it exists.

device-manager.scratch.mit.edu is used by Scratch Link. It appears dead because it points to 127.0.0.1, aka localhost. It also doesn't use port 80 or 443, so it will still appear dead even if it is accessed while Scratch Link is installed and running.

it's pointing at localhost, this lets the scratch editor talk to scratch link which talks to scratch compatible devices.
otherwise the browser will raise security concerns, because websites shouldn't be able to talk to other “websites” unless they are permitted by CORS. the device-manager subdomain bypasses this.
https is the secure form of http, because it's only talking to localhost i dont think it needs to use secure connection (citation needed, i think i once heard something about ssl certs baked into scratch link im not sure)

that's unrelated, that's a http warning, but i am talking about cors related errors. essentially, jeffalo.net cannot make requests to google.com, unless google.com allows it.firefox already did lol otherwise the browser will raise security concerns
the same goes for scratch.mit.edu making requests to localhost, which is probably part of the reason they made their own domain. this also allows them to issue SSL certs for localhost.

ohhhh that makes sense, in order to use HTTPS and not have any CORS issues, it has it's own domain, smart! the same goes for scratch.mit.edu making requests to localhost, which is probably part of the reason they made their own domain. this also allows them to issue SSL certs for localhost.

why would it? people dont make www redirects for every record on their sitewww.device-manager.scratch.mit.edu doesnt exist, but device-manager.scratch.mit.edu does.http://www.device-manager.scratch.mit.edu probably redirected to http://device-manager.scratch.mit.edu.

you don't really register subdomains the same way you have to register normal domain names.

finding a subdomain using a crawler and creating a dns record for it are completely unrelatedBy registered I mean I found it using a crawler. -snip-
