gollark: This is unlikely, whoever set your user agent to `Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/6.0;)`, because:- that has an extra semicolon - it doesn't really look valid- a browser/OS that old almost certainly won't support TLS 1.2/1.3, and I recently reconfigured my server to ignore protocols older than those
gollark: One user was apparently on an iPhone - extreme heresy - and one user was allegedly using IE 7.
gollark: I checked my webserver logs, and apparently my new media stuff recommendations page on my website managed about five hits. Amazing.
