What an excellent start of day. This appears to be the longest Cloudflare outage in years, perhaps ever.

Since @HoCChamber didn't have the time to make a complete list of all current MPs' X accounts, I've done the work for them. Feel free to use it. https://t.co/ZmW2MrJxHW If you spot someone I missed who has an X account, let me know.

I recently started following Canadian politics more, especially the workings of the House of Commons which provides a pretty decent website (OurCommons) where you can access all kinds of information on bills, votes, debates and many other things. That being said, in order to

Wonder why Sora website needs 14GB of RAM and 8 CPU cores to render a blank profile page...

Why it's amazing: 1. No frontend build step - just refresh to see your changes 2. No cancerous nodejs ecosystem (npm, yarn) or multi-gigabyte node_modules folder 3. Golang quickly compiles to any OS or arch, and has zero dependencies at runtime - just run it! 4. Optionally embed

Digicert and their "award winning support" is by far the worst experience I've had dealing with a vendor in a VERY long time, perhaps ever. It boggles my mind how they're still in business. PKI is broken, and the the gatekeepers are fully retarded. Welcome to the Internet.

This is the official Digicert hardware token installer. It's used for signing kernel drivers. How many dumb things can you spot here?

It's kinda unacceptable how OpenAI doesn't have a chatbot that is aware of the latest state of the API docs, something you can chat with can answer direct questions.

This simple ADSB project is turning into an full blown AI air traffic controller which can provide full airport advisory and basic (for now) vectoring.
