I am all for using proper typographic symbols, but it is unclear what place the precomposed ellipsis U+2026—what I assume you mean by “true ellipsis”—has in that canon, especially …

Only if they are able to block the siteverify check performed by our backend server. That's not the kind of attack we are trying to mitigate with Turnstile.

Neutraface has some similarities, including the low crossbar height. Fittingly, it appears to be used in materials published by the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation.

The lettering on the proposal is very interesting. I assume it was hand drawn. I can't find any typeface quite like it. Google Lens suggested it is similar to Copperplate Gothic, w…

Speaking of billing, are there any good resources or examples for an engineer who gets thrown into this domain?

Those are good words to use. That's how people should think of these redirects and use them, as long as you are careful to use explicit cache directives.

There seems to be some FUD going on here. The solution to the OP problem is simply to use 301 redirects with Cache-Control headers to limit caching to some reasonably short duratio…

That quote supports my statement. Notice that the serialized object is the thing that was constructed by the attacker, not some user data that you serialized yourself.
