I also use pass and sync it with my android phone using OpenKeychain to manage GPG keys and PasswordStore as the actual password browser. Copy/pasting randomised passwords on both desktop and mobile is easy once these are set up.
Now that you've mentioned this I think it may become a theme, and rightly so. Perhaps a change in focus and a bit of reflection on the different business domains that I have experience in is in order.
Thanks for the input, really good points. The machine learning angle is interesting and something I'll look further into as I do have some undergrad maths experience.
Looks cool. Very similar to a service I built a few years ago: https://lanyard.fm which has setlist integration and even generated Spotify playlists of the setlist using live versions of tracks at one point. If you'd like to chat about any of the problems we faced let me know.
The site was never monetized, it was a side project between me and a couple of other guys. We struggled with data until it eventually dried up completely last year. To remedy that I've been working on a live music version of musicbrainz.org in my spare time although progress is slow. If anyone is interested in getting involved in that hit me up
Lanyard looks impressive. I hadn't heard of it until today, but I will take a look around. I'll drop you a message through the site, would be good to talk.
I found some references online to something called "Smart Setup", which you can apparently turn of under Advanced Settings -> Home Network -> Smart Setup, but no idea what it actually does and why it intercepts random requests...

But, false alarm anyway, nothing interesting is happening. The firmware had updated and reset parental control settings on the router. The domain is on some blacklist apparently so it was redirecting to a page to finalise parental control preferences.
Sorry it wasn't any more interesting than that.
Edit: the reason it took me a while to figure this out was that the settings page it was redirecting to was nothing to do with parental controls!
I visited some other black listed sites <.< >.> and discovered the pattern, then dug around in the router settings to see what had changed. Disabling parental controls sorted it and I can now see the squirrel/chipmunk/unidentified rodent.
the fact that it encodes "/" on a part of the url in a parameter, but not on another is a very good indication that whatever this 'feature' is doing is badly thought out and the implementation was done by the intern.

At least we know a little about the software issuing this redirect!
Perhaps the first they'll know of the problem is when they read it on HN
