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.
