Codeberg tried to help host their status page temporarily during the DDoS attack and were DDoSed themselves possibly because of it.
They’ve completely recovered on their end, but I think SourceHut is still readonly right now.
Dunno what a threat actor with these kinds of resources has against sourcehut, but dang…

How do people *not* know that Boeing has been manufacturing their planes to a worse quality standard than Tesla in recent years?

Go talk to anybody remotely adjacent to the aerospace industry, and if you catch the right person they'll go on a full rant about it.

If anything it's consistent with >=, <=, !=, etc.

To all web stores that don't have "Open Link in New Tab" right-click functionality, stop, get some help. :ablobcatgrumpy:

I suddenly have a strong desire for a CLI only distro with TUI mouse support...

Me, after hitting my mobile data cap, limited to 128 Kbps, barely streaming a 144p YouTube video: :blobcat_thisisfine:

All overpriced bottled water people: :blobcat_thisisfine:
Mmm, yes, this water has notes of mountain minerals and glides down nice and smooth.

Me, with my 6-stage reverse osmosis system: :blobwizard:
Tap water is awful,
This filter is great.
Bottled water tastes like its container,
That stuff I hate.

@piggo
It's typically used as a way of saying "Something crazy happened today, and I'm far too old to only be finding out about this now"

Example from Urban Dictionary:
"I was today years old when I found out that the straw holes in Capri Suns are also the dot on the i..."

Is there a way to download the Blender Open Movies in a lossless format? (i.e. not from YouTube/PeerTube?)

I want that uncompressed picture, and maybe actual rear channels for surround sound if possible.

Idk, just messing around with PipeWire's virtual surround stuff...

Admins blocking instances because they federate with instances they don't like, for example.

@Jain
Don't forget about the passive-agressive part :ablobcatwave:
It about averages out :blobcatgiggle:

It's been said that "the fediverse isn't like Twitter" but you people are just as bad, if not worse, when you're arguing about tech.
Especially when it comes to the fediverse itself.

We don't even know exactly what Facebook is doing yet, or if they're even doing 'it' at all.
Your flame war is just going to cause division and kill the fediverse no matter what they decide to do.

I will literally sign up for Snapchat if you don't stop it right now.

Thank you business people in the mid-90s for getting mad at Unix and popularizing Linux because it was free. :ablobcatcoffee:

@PINE64 Is this Amazon listing actually you?

Seems a little shady, and a lot of the negative reviews make it sound like the devices are counterfeit :blobcatthink:
If it isn't, you should probably contact Amazon about it, and maybe look into actually selling your stuff there so shady 3rd parties can't as easily impersonate you.
