Sinsheim
Sinsheim is a city in Baden-Württemberg, a state of Germany.
Understand
The town would probably be of little note if it weren't for the Auto&Technik Museum, which houses two of the few surviving passenger supersonic planes, and TSG Hoffenheim, a soccer club that mostly rose to the top in the 21st century on the strength of sponsorship money. Sinsheim is also birth place of '48er and American Civil War major general (for the Union) Franz Sigel, the highest ranking German American during the conflict.

gollark: There's that encrypted SNI extension around but it's quite WIP and I don't think much supports it.
gollark: What? They totally can, TLS 1.3 doesn't do anything to hide the SNI.
gollark: I mean, to some extent, but they *consistently* lied about all their data so who knows, and covering up is a monorically stupid initial response.
gollark: Unless they had another one in the last few months.
