One of the greatest images of human history is the Hubble Telescope
Ultra Deep Field (HUDF) image:

https://www.spacetelescope.org/images/heic0611b

This web site provides a direct link to the 110 Mb TIFF
image file of the HUDF, which is good.

It also provides a sha256 checksum.  But is this also
a link?  Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!  Fuck no!  It's a stupid,
asinine, idiotic, imbecilic, and totally retarded
Javashit "balloon."

Instead of doing a quick check using

wget -O - URL | sha256sum -c -

the user has to copy, paste, and save the checksum to
a local file.  What lunacy!

It is, admittedly, only a minor annoyance but it serves
to illustrate, yet again, the utter stupidity of web
developers and their favored junk-toy javashit.
