gollark: Oh well. I haven't received any vulnerability reports for osmarks.tk so I can't really say what I actually did in instances of it - probably because nobody cares more than any actual good security practice on my part - so I can't really point to historical examples of what I did.
gollark: Nobody does *not* really seem to do that.
gollark: If you find some flaw with osmarks.tk™ or something, I would want you to directly report it in a sensible way so I can patch it, and stop meddling with it if I felt you were doing too much stuff.
gollark: That means you probably did, I guess.
