What does this mean? Caliban (talk) 21:41, 16 August 2025 (UTC)

It means the denizens of this wiki try to document everything that Randall puts on the website, even if it's apparently a mistake and/or a corrupted file. 70.29.243.228 17:08, 18 August 2025 (UTC)

Why does this page have the refresh every 60 seconds html attribute? Preloading (talk) 20:43, 25 August 2025 (UTC)

After loading the image into a hex editor, I found that it is not an image, but a UTF-16LE with BOM file. The data look like this:

UTF-16LE with BOM data. There are multiple new lines trailing in the original data. The content may vary.

The Content field does indicate a valid JPEG image. So maybe this is a misconfigured CDN edge? Dousha99 (talk) 06:13, 1 September 2025 (UTC)

I'm sorry but what the hell are you talking about? > UTF-16LE with BOM file, for starters, the JPG does not contain BOM data (doesn't start with any of the BOM markings), and the JPG does not contain any coherent UTF-16LE text. What I assume you did was just cURL the request, and got back all the header data, and the raw http response that HTTP sends along. You can even see in the Content field the decimal array of the JPG. The actual data is a JPEG, not text. I also assume you ran a command to identify what type of file you got back from your cURL output (or whatever you used to make that request), which is why you said it was "UTF-16LE".
