pro tip: when you decide to canonicalize your website having a trailing slash, be sure to test against your jet stream listener, as there is in fact a difference in Rust between `split()` and `split_terminator()`.

I can tell you from personal experience this won’t work with Mac, macOS has a very shallow limit on how many hubs you can nest. If my KVM is plugged into a usb port on my caldigit dock, kb/m don’t make it to the Mac. I have to use a thunderbolt port which doesn’t go through the internal hub on dock.

A close up picture of a white and gray cat’s face. They look somewhat annoyed with the photographer, and the surface they’re laying on is covered in cat hair as if to say this is a favorite spot of theirs.
