@Polychrome wow, even longer ago than that - most of the site was shut down in 2005! Apparently the Doctor Who section lingered a little longer than that, but even it only goes up to Matt Smith... It looks like 2014 is just when they put the most recent "this has been archived" marker on it. o_o

You can safely ignore them.

(24 days of February, 30? of Mercedonius, 4 more days of February.)
And although the distinction is largely elided these days, Leap Day being February 25th is still important in some places - there's at least one country (Sweden?) where that's in the laws, and some liturgical calendars rely on it.

If you're upgrading to Mastodon 4.3.x, it no longer supports Postgres 9, and it's tempting to export your PSQL 9 database and import it directly into a more modern version like 12 or 16; this is supposed to auto-convert it to the new format.
Please don't. Step upward by one version at a time. The direct upgrade trashes Mastodon's performance somehow.

I don't actually remember which basketball player, and then Gamers picked it up and decided to make it weird. You usually see it in combination, like "based and goated".
