Summary

The MDN samples-server service at https://mdn-samples.mozilla.org/ (https://github.com/mdn/samples-server) was shut down at my request (and with the blessing of @chrisdavidmills and @wbamberg) due to its security risk. It was something created by one of our former MDN tech writers years ago to serve some interactive examples to a few document pages, and was never vetted by the development team. The existing examples will of course stop working until they can be replaced with something better, and although we're sorry for the inconvenience, we felt the inconvenience was outweighed by the security vulnerability.

@sideshowbarker I know you're already aware of this, but just wanted to add a comment here for the record in case others were curious.
