I like the pop-under ad for gambling when you visit this site. Classy.

On devopsangle.com or somewhere else? We don't do any sort of banner advertising, popunder or otherwise so unless our site has been hacked (I'll look into it) then it sounds like you've got malware on your computer.
Well, I visited this link twice to be sure and Safari pitched up a pop-under ad both times.

I assure you, I do not have malware.

It happens when the justin.tv widget in the side-bar loads. It attempts to load something that redirects to http://rts.pgmediaserve.com/03d458/

I cannot duplicate the error..sometimes i've seen providers have f'd up dns where some bad stuff happens..
This is not a DNS issue. This is the justin.tv widget doing something fishy in the background.

I have Little Snitch installed and locked down so it can't make any connections, but it tries two different sites over SSL in an attempt to fetch content for the frame.

Curiously it works with AdBlock enabled, too.

Thanks, I'll have our webmaster check with Justin.tv.
thanks for pointing that out we are not doing that on our end so wanted to let you know that..it might be coming from another source...i'm investigating
