so `new Date('2023-07-15 23:40 GMT-0400')` is valid in chrome and node.js, but not in firefox. this causes firefox to incorrectly request my api for commits since 1970-01-01. sveltekit didnt prerender that because it didnt crawl and find 1970-01-01 as it uses node.js, so firefox gets a 404. bam
this also gives a bit of insight into how hits and views work. yesterday i had 1003 hits and 333 visits, but my bandwidth usage was only 10mb. thats only enough for ~10 people to view my website's homepage with javascript on. thus, my view count must be getting inflated by someone hotlinking something on my website (i assume its navlink)
