    It's an attempt to log your IP address, at a guess.
    That's his rent-a-server.

    Do what???
    That looks like a music video to me.
    What does it have to do with logging IP addresses?
    I must be missing something...

    *Don't" access or download content from the *.*.io server.
    He rents space on that server.

    The Youtube was a joke "Can't touch this". Don't
    accept links from GG. At least figure out whether
    a link is on his rent-a-server first.

    Even his HTML could be armed. That's the kind of stuff
    Relf was capable of. That's one reason for shutting
    off HTML rendering in your newsreader. Helps protect
    your privacy. As well as reducing the potential for
    playing jokes on people, or having your PC tipped over.

    I understand that hidden problems with Tekrider.net have since been
    resolved. Is it possible for you to check?

    Will I get a reputation as a badass if I do this ?

    I know, I could pretend to be a light-bulb repairman.
    (One of the Mission Impossible actors...) Nobody
    ever suspects the repairman.
