http2 now enabled on the server, so multiple http requests
are a bit more efficient for modern browsers
this will save a bit of bandwidth, at the expense of causing
additional delay on high latency connections:
someone on 500ms latency and using http1.1 basically has to
wait an extra half-second for the site to load
(however, that's only the first time, assuming their browser
caches the css file)
The CSS is light enough now that, in terms of compression, it makes more sense
to merge it in each HTML page. It's small enough to make virtually no
difference, and this cuts down on HTTP requests.
This change will save literally seconds of time, for those who are on high
latency internet services (satellite based internet services, slow tor relays,
etc).
people who have the old global.css cached will see a very b0rked looking site.
this is a quick workaround for that, for people seeing the new site that
just launched
