@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

@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

@wallhackio @The_T @vaporeon_ example.com is itself also a subdomain

arguably, even as a root domain, i think .com is regarded as a subdomain of a domain with no name

You're on a cruise ship, standing on the deck, looking out onto the ocean

In the distance, you see rippling water, which doesn't look like a normal wave

Suddenly, Vaporeon jumps out of the water and onto the deck of the ship!

@coriander the ED is the biggest reason i’ve considered watching the show

@vaporeon_ oh, dual booting is fine; i would only be offended if one overwrote the mac install entirely
