First and foremost, the mime type has to be supported by the web
server. Either you have to add a `.vtt` mimetype, *or* just put it
as a `.txt` file. I chose the latter since it doesn't require a
custom Apache configuration.
Second, even if you make it a `.txt` file, using a CDN does not seem
to work. I suspect that maybe CDNs do really weird things with
mimetypes when they server them, or maybe the <track> element just
really doesn't like it when the URL is 301'd. 🤷
Anyway, with these two changes: using a `.txt` file, and hosting the
file locally, the subtitles now work properly!
Note, if you use the `default` attribute in the <track> tag, it'll
turn them on by default. Leaving it off does allow the user to turn
them on in my tests in both Chromium and Firefox.
Link to the Youtube version for browsers where <video> element
doesn't work.
Note on the sustainer page that folks should watch it to learn about
us.
Widen into the big box on front page.
Gildan removed the sizing chart entirely from their website again
after yet another redesign. Originally, we deep-linked into files in
their CDN for the charts, but it appears that in fc2e002 that I
introduced cut-and-paste error on the sizing charts. I cannot find
the original links, but finally I simply decided we'd mirror the
files in our CDN, which is where these now link to.
I suspect that I didn't do this to start for worrying about copyright
infringement, but upon second thought, I think it's very reasonably
fair use for us to distribute these images. We bought a lot of
t-shirts from Gildan and just trying to sell through.
The only thing of note actually available on the Gilden page that we
previously linked to are these two images (they have a kid's size
image, but we don't need that). So, link instead directly to the
images rather than the page itself. This is admittedly more fragile
as those image links seem to have some sort of checksum in them, but
it's worth it to avoid the proprietary Javascript.
