I'm so determined to make this event succeed that I posted a damn YouTube Short about it. Every channel counts, right?

Tfw have to postpone the downtime on our Forgejo instance to test my PR in prod (as one does) because @Codeberg beat me to it (downtime, not testing in prod... probably?)

Telegram is getting Grok integration. This will be fun.

Vakar domāju, varbūt man te varbūt jāraksta vairāk, ar ko es ikdienā nodarbojos. Baigi sen tā tviterī darīju, bet kaut kāda iemesla dēļ atradinājos. Varbūt atcerēšos, kāpēc, ja pamēģināšu atsākt?

I just discovered this repository by chance: https://github.com/elaborateth/archiviiify/. It's an exact copy of mine: https://github.com/atomotic/archiviiify

EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas says the world must exert the "strongest pressure" on Russia after last night's mass missile attack on Ukraine, which killed and injured civilians, including children.

The worst way to handle user mistakes is to blame them. Your design allowed it. Your design gave them no easy way back. Your design is to blame.
