Maravovo
Maravovo (or alternatively Marovovo) is a village on the northwest coast of Guadalcanal, Solomon Islands. It is located 57.6 kilometres (35.8 mi) by road northwest of Honiara.[1] Mangakiki is in close proximity to Maravovo. The population is reportedly entirely Anglican.[2] On 7 October 1942, during the Guadalcanal campaign, the Japanese established a small midget submarine base there. On 7 February 1943, when the first American troops reached the area, they only encountered slight resistance, and found out most of the Japanese had already been previously evacuated during Operation Ke.[3][4][5] Wreck of one of the midget submarine still lies underwater in the bay facing the village.[6]

gollark: My iGPU's Gen9, which doesn't suffer a horrible performance hit, but *really Intel*?!
gollark: Apparently Intel somehow even managed to muck up security of their iGPUs. https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=intel-gen7-hit&num=1
gollark: I'm going to make sure to, er, pay attention to handling uploads then. It's somewhat annoying from an ease of use perspective that it stores to files by default, but it does make sense for performance.
gollark: I can't see any obvious ones. The session is presumably encrypted, this will be running over HTTPS, maybe I could swap out SHA256 for an actual password hashing function though.
gollark: But with minor tweaks, like a persistent session store, an actual config file, a templating engine, sort of thing.
