Exactly. 40% of the times, it's under example.com/favicon.ico, which can contain 16×16 + 32×32 + 64×64 + 128×128 versions of the icon, each in BW, 1bpc, 2bpc, 8 bits per color, with transparency, the other 60% I need to download another HTML document to find the <meta tag> containing the appropriate information.
Indeed. However, I didn't like the parts where it installs additional packages without asking first, and then requires apache to be stopped before it can even show the --help switch. That was quite scary and obscure, to say the least. But it's alright now.

Why?
1 u/netk6 [OP] 26 Sep 2016 00:16
Because we can?
More seriously, it's about doing this so we can also do this.
Example.

Oh, OK - thanks.
I take it grabbing/linking to the favicon from each site when generating the page would be slow and horrible or something?

Blech. I can see why you're doing it now!

Hey, my post is in there! It's my lucky day!

Sorry to disappoint, but I'll be updating the image after I've improved the script.
I'll try so snapshot another post of yours ;-)

I support the improve voat!
maybe post this to /v/voatdev/ ?

I had to make it more official, so I just bought a new domain name.
Now I also need an SSL certificate for this domain to serve content over HTTPS.
Only then can every body use it safely. And I shall post in /v/voatdev/ (again)

Just use certbot to enable lets encrypt. An easy way to acquire https
0 u/netk6 [OP] 26 Sep 2016 21:34
I'm currently reading documentation on let's encrypt. In the process of installing it. I'll switch to HTTPS soon.
Cheers!
0 u/netk6 [OP] 27 Sep 2016 00:47
It's done!
1 u/DrBunsen 27 Sep 2016 07:05
Nice!
I did install let's encrypt on my own homeserver, so I can use owncloud with https, it is rather easy, with certbot handling the auto renewal.

Ahh that is quite strange indeed. I am glad you got it anyway.
Cheers

Nice, any day mate. I see you used Let's Encrypt for the SSL.
