Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming...

sending #hugops to everyone still awake on the bluesky team.
ddos attacks are always awful, but the added commentary from mastodonians and ai blamers definitely didn't help.

i hope you have a very very deep sleep tonight.

that said —

if bluesky is AI-coded or not, a large enough DDoS will bring any website or service to its knees.

back in 2006, botnets were comprised of compromised windows PCs around the world.

in 2026? it’s probably your TEMU smart devices and smart TVs =P your actual computers are too secure

I know everyone loves to blame claude but generally these kinds of outages are not the fault of vibe coding and they are fucking miserable to deal with so hugops to everyone trying to put out the fire

The error is not found and it's forbidden to try again

a nervous looking teenager looking behind him while sat at a computer desk, on screen is "canine bee blaster cannon", with "beenet activity" and the buttons to "release the beez!" and "kill the beez!"

"happy touch grass day"

Is it done now? Can I use this?

responding ”vibe code?” to every outage like women named carol respond “vaxx?” to every celebrity death

credibly exiting by setting the servers on fire

Good, I can browse once again

Third post's the charm

How do you come up with a unique name for something without finding out that it has already been used for something else only a minute later

Setup, backup, and login are nouns. Begin Setup Your login attempt See Latest Backup They can also be adjectives: Setup Assistant Login Window Backup Procedure They are NOT verbs: I setup my account First, login here How can I backup? Set up, back up, and log in are verbs. Let’s set up your account Click here to log in Back Up Now An easy way to test for this: put it in the past tense. If setup was a single-word verb, you would (goofily) say: I setupped my account. Next, I loginned. When I backupped, These are just three such verbs that include a preposition; there are many more. You know the difference between nouns and verbs. You can do this.

So many apps and websites out there get this wrong (given their focus on such verbs) that I finally sitdowned, rollupped my sleeves, and speakupped in visual form. A sign for me to tap in the future!

You're not going to get rid of "slop" by making unfounded slop in place of it

Next time somebody comes up with yet another rumor-backed-article about the ever oblivious "Windows 12" I'm straight up gonna stop reading their tech news entirely
