April 2026 Outage Post-Mortem - Jim's Pckt Hey all! I'm Jim, and I do system-y things at Bluesky. I'm here to give you some details about what happened on Monday of this week that caused Bluesky to go...

I wrote a short post-mortem on the Bluesky outage we had on Monday. First time using pckt, it was a really nice experience tbh!

A dimly-lit human woman carrying a celestial sphere with three bright stars on her shoulders. She is looking upwards away from the viewer with a stoic expression. She is wearing a light-colored toga, turned purple by the cool-colored ambient lighting.

No biggie, just gunning for 110° in… *checks notes* the second day of astronomical spring?

The advice I’ve heard thrown around in that regard is: Post what you like, so you cultivate followers that like the same things you do.

Oooh! I didn’t know you had done Coven Morgana before!

Morgana from LoL would look divine in your style

This is amazing! I love the way you render

A femme-presenting druid, sitting on a large rock in a dimly lit forest. She has brown hair, fair skin, and is giving a stern, scornful glance to the viewer. She is wearing a green halter top with a dark skirt, which shows off the runic tattoos inscribed on her arms and legs.
