Does the status page still show it as up?

Wanna check?

This was a joke about them always being incredibly late to updating their status page.

Great that MPs are apparently exempt from the scanning. As if there aren’t enough high profile menaces in power.

Either include everyone, or accept it’s an awful idea for security and exempt everyone.


Absolutely the case for me. Small fun projects that would take a few hours to round off a feature can now be done in an hour. Why wouldn't i finish it off?


The only advice I give now is: If you're contacted and think it might be genuine, go direct to the website. Don't click anything.

I suspect it's the only reasonable advice now?


This is pretty easy to interview for, if that is something your company cares for during the hiring process.


In other news, the grass is green and the sky is blue.


Bluesky thinking about Greenfield projects, perhaps


Email address privacy is a feature offered by Github and replaces your day to day email: https://docs.github.com/en/account-and-profile/how-tos/email...


Unfortunately if you don't start out using that, then your email address is already spread across the web. And back when I was looking at gitlab/bitbucket/etc for feature comparison, each forge used their own domain and couldn't be persuaded to combine commits from multiple addresses into your own profile (to be clear, that's not really necessary, but it does make it more difficult to find a commit created by someone when their commit address isn't the address associated with their account)


For the 5 api requests a second most projects will get, it'll probably do.


Of which DigitalOcean is running very outdated prices at 4USD for 512mb ram.

The cheapest Kimsufi dedicated server with 32GB ram is $11.10/mo.


I've done somewhat similar for the same reasons.

I realised that if I exclusively read business news I can avoid a good amount of the fluff and sensationalism. I made a browser extension which pushes the headlines from Bloomberg, Financial times Euronews Business and a few others on to my new tab from their RSS, and it's more than enough to give me a nugget of what's going on in the world without being overloaded. 1 item per new tab.

End result is: I don't read the news, but I still know what's going on without the need for Social Media's hot take.


Sounds very interesting. Have you published this extension (or the source code)? I think I would like to try it out.


Yeah, it's available here https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/start-screen-a-busi....

Can't say it's the best extension in the world, but it scratches my own itch and I'm happy with it. Sometimes that's good enough.


Thanks :)
