okay, the fresh install missing core files is due to the original project website, which the install script downloads the files from, being down. Replacing this with an Internet Archive URL works, but then also the same long loading times are observed. It's cursed

I found it. It's so dumb. I had to trace my way through that codebase with weird cached PHP code, using echo statements to see where it failed. It turns out it hangs in getPatreonStatus() where it tries to read a JSON file from the now defunct project website. It even has a timeout (set to 3.14, how funny) but that doesn't seem to have done anything. ARGHHH

@cato@chaosfurs.social Is it trying to fetch something from the project website? Checking for updates or something?
