I would not be surprised if the current @Reddit outage was caused by the blackout protest from some of the larger subreddits. I could see the balancing/indexing of those subreddits being fairly bespoke, and now that they’re private it’s wrecking havoc on feed generation/caching
I had to take time off when another merchant’s sale was botted so heavily that it took an entire Shopify region down and we had to figure out (within a few hours) how to allow them to have their sale without causing another massive disruption.
A testament to quality software systems: I have been running @UnraidOfficial 5.0.4 on my home NAS for the past 9 years without having to do anything other than replace the occasional failing drive.
And the array itself was created in 2008!

debugging strategy: rule things out
ALT title: rule things out At the beginning of debugging, it can feel like the whole program is suspicious. So you have to narrow it down! person (thinking): I'm really confused, but I can at least check if the server returned the right HTTP response here.. person (thinking): that response looks good! the server isn't the problem! note: don't worry: we're assuming that was the only request being made. Otherwise this wouldn't be a safe conclusion :)
Just received an @AranetIoT CO2 monitor to replace a @getawair glow (which had been working perfectly fine but is now effectively bricked after they decided to end support) …
Initial thoughts:
1. Simple set up. Put in batteries (included) and it works. Battery life measured in years(!)
2. Very clean design, clear e-ink screen. Updates every few minutes
3. No internet connectivity 🥰. *optional* app that uses Bluetooth for extra config & rt metrics.
