re: spoilers for Sonic '06 

@The_T @wallhackio one of the few honest attempts at meaningfully critically analyzing sonic 06 out there talks a lot of shit about how sonic is characterized in the game. his story is him failing over and over and over again and never learning, instead going back in time to fix everything

twice

@wallhackio befur that his characterization is just kinda bizarre and inconsistent and maybe this is nostalgia talking but there’s something lost and sanded off about the character they’ve turned him into

@wallhackio this is one vector by which i think i can explain why i like his characterization less since Colors; i feel like this aspect of him has been toned down

i don’t see such a comment on it so maybe he already did that

the funniest pawsible thing dan olson could do with his newest video is, if mr. beast ever comments on it, just delete the comment

re: more rage bait 

@aschmitz @wallhackio you two are evil. unfurtunately this is the kind of evil we encourage at GlitchCat and i cannot think of any official instance pawlicy that gives me an excuse to ban you

@wallhackio you don’t even need bash fur the idea; POSIX sh would have been enough

@vaporeon_ i like that security culture is a thing but the consequences aren’t really talked about enough. TLS can be too much overhead fur embedded devices, fur example (not that it’s obvious to me why you’d want to run an HTTP server on an embedded device)

@vaporeon_ HSTS purreload is a way to register a domain as known-HSTS with an authority that the major browsers download a massive list of known-HSTS domains from (at build time? or maybe even directly into the source code?) and ship with. the idea is to purrevent a MITM attack during the furst (otherwise necessarily unencrypted) visit to the website from being pawsible

@vaporeon_ i don't know how exactly it works though so i can't answer that part

@vaporeon_ unencrypted DNS requests are a potential MITM attack. you could modify a request and the client to hit your own server instead, HSTS preload notwithstanding

101: i would like 1 break from the world please
102: woof
103: seriously, i need a break from the world

@vaporeon_ the HTTP cats website has a Catalan translation fur this reason lol (upstream uses the name http.cat)

@wallhackio @The_T @vaporeon_ like, secretly, the actual name of the full domain is www.example.com., or at least, BIND seems to think so
