Notable alumni
gollark: Unrelatedly, it turns out that the large amount of 2-letter TLDs which exist now combined with the fact that 36^3 is a lot means that you can get 6-letter domains, and I mean 6 letter including the TLD and dot.
gollark: It also seems like a terrible protocol, design-wise.
gollark: I started actually doing backups instead of just having replicated copies of things recently, and I have something like 150GB of them.
gollark: The whole UPnP thing seems hilariously convoluted and bad and I don't know why they did it this way.
gollark: HTTPS is HTTP over TLS, it's not using HTTP as a lower level transport.
