I think we shouldn't need supercomputers at either end of the link, let alone both, just to look at cat photos.

"But Ariel, why not just use a popular blog app instead?"

Two root reasons. First, the server has to be a containerized virtual hypercomputer instead of a basic Web server, limiting hosting options.

Second, JavaScript basically reinventing HTML, which means I have to use an inconveniently expensive browser to download an app every page instead of using CLI tools & a lightning-fast Web browser.

I could, but that's a lot of work as well as really overthinking the plumbing. Groff is stuck on HTML4 and XHTML, which means I'd have to stick a sed or awk script on the end of the pipeline. If I'm going to get typesetting involved, it's better to start with an LML & translate that instead.

LB: I'm interested in any answers y'all have, too.

I wonder if I could use troff to make a modern-feeling HTML5 blog. I wonder how customizable groff_www macros are.

Also, it apparently took Discord around 50 hours to do anything meaningful about the server hijack.

LB: A game importer/translator called Fruitbat Factory had their discord server hijacked, and the hijackers used it to push malware to members who didn't know about the hijack yet.
