So uh someone stole almost all the money I have to my name so I guess I'm doing an emergency stream

I've made a fundraiser. All money raised will go towards moving expenses with any extra going to the Chicago food bank.

There's a eulogy for the fucking queen of England in the middle of "Peppa Pig: World Adventures" that I've seen people joke about, and which I assumed was fake until I played the game and saw it for myself.

The bit I don't see people talk about (which, to be fair, is largely because no one is playing or talking about "Peppa Pig: World Adventures" because they're normal) is the second eulogy for the queen during the credits of the game. It's even funnier to me, I think. The main thing we know about The Queen (rip in pigs) is that she made children and pigs across the world sooooooooooo happy. We don't really know anything else about her which is too bad because she Died.

EDIT: after learning about https://jort.link from @lifning (thanks!) i've made some changes to redirect mastodon traffic through them (as documented on their site) so that we aren't taking the brunt of it. still planning on fixing our own caching this week, but this should be an ok band-aid for now.

we're seeing issues related to the special caching we use for serving to Mastodon, which means we have had to temporarily start blocking requests from Mastodon to prevent performance issues.

the only impact (unless you're an instance admin) is that if you post a cohost link on mastodon, you won't get embed information. if you're an instance admin, you'll (probably) see an increase in failed requests to cohost (i will admit that i have no idea if this information is presented to admins).

we'll be unblocking mastodon server traffic once we've worked with fastly to fix the underlying issue this week. more technical details below the cut.

hopefully this is the last fire drill of the weekend. i'm tired.

cohost: now with jort power!
