gollark: It took a lot of work and I have to use a custom static site generator but you can directly access https://osmarks.tk/otherstuff/ for example, no weird query strings or anything.
gollark: But surely a truly 1337 h4xx0r would have URLs which are better than that. Even osmarks.tk has neat URLs.
gollark: I can't really. As I said, I no longer accidentally keep logs, and I may not technically have long-term memory.
gollark: And why does the URL have `?id=11` in it?
