gollark: Anyone know why all my websocket stuff goes "can't establish a connection to the server wss://whatever" in firefox? Specifically websocket stuff on my server, other things appear to work fine. It works in chromium or wscat, and the individual applications work fine in firefox if they're not behind my reverse proxy.
gollark: Another useful one is transmitting shopping lists from the future, so you can get things *before* you run out!
gollark: One of many practical everyday uses for time machines.
gollark: So just use a time machine to connect your internet connection to the internet connection at 4-6 am.
gollark: Well, you could download it at less than real-time speeds then play it back.
