Any guesses as to why the source code look the way it does? I was expecting a traditional website inside the noscript tags, but instead I found an obfuscated soup letter between them.

It's an inline SVG image. That alphanumeric soup is the coordinates of the points (and handles) of a line. Scroll past that, and you get the website.

I have no idea why they made the SVG image inline but the CSS style external, though. That same image is used on every page.

Ancient webserver that didn't serve the correct mime type for svg?

Only inlined SVG can have its elements styled by CSS.

Perhaps… but calling the SVG a `.png` and transcluding it into a smaller inline SVG file would still have worked in the vast majority of browsers.

And in-line SVG can have it’s DOM modified, allowing the image to be interactive.

Of course, you’d need to have JavaScript enabled to do that...

Yeah, putting out obfuscated content while making a statement against client-side JS is very ??? to me
