and the @staff posts leading up to it - I wonder if DigitalOcean might've thrown the game. regardless, it is really really bad timing - right after a couple blogs about unrelated image problems, the whole upload pipeline gets bungled on DO, forcing an overnight full-CDN migration?
like, did they read the blog and decide "oh now's an optimal time to wreck it any%"
oh and also thank you @staff for the website and the hard work keeping it going. <3
