The site is killing my brave browser. Maybe long thin transoceanic paths, or phase of the moon.

So many partially loaded images.

But definitely worth the wait. A great read. I liked the almost mimetic quality of "which slightly broken font plate is being reused to make the broken "3" I keep seeing" which is a classic detective novel trope, e.g. Lord Peter Whimsey in "strong poison" and a typewriter glitch he recognises.

There's 600 photos and one 500 MB video. It seems like they are being served directly from the owner's Apache server from response headers. Server could be overloaded?

On Fennec on Android, no images appear to load at all. Edit: they do, it just takes ages. Could be the slow connection.

It is definitely a "Macbook Pro on a wooden table at a coffee shop, owner with tattoos and stylish facial hair" kind of website
