The outage list at the top is up to date, but the main status page is nearly three months old - the last updated date at the end is April 20, 2026.

Yes, there are multiple competing providers - all the electricity comes from a single grid but competition in how you are billed for usage. Many people choose a single fixed or var…

Big Clive is currently livestreaming to celebrate the 555's birthday: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzNjFJdaw_I

In larger UK venues this has been happening for some years now, there is a campaign against it: https://thefac.org/venuedirectory This has been followed up by similar action in the…

It sounds like a combination of the Download Monitor plugin plus a misconfiguration at the web server level resulted in the file being publicly accessible at that URL when the deve…

This comment reminded me to check whether https://www.distributed.net/ was still in existence. I hadn't thought about the site for probably two decades, I ran the client for this b…

I also wonder how many of the numerous AI proponents in HN comments are subject to the same effect. Unless they are truly measuring their own performance, is AI really making them …

Similarly, Mistabishi's Printer Jam from 2009 sounds much like you might expect from the title. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALNV4ZW33fA

It seems this is because the string "autoregressive prior" should appear on the right hand side as well, but in the second image it's hidden from view, and this has confused it to …

> I wonder why they can't reject the flight plan for an aircraft that's already in the air? You need to know everything that may be in the air - if you skip the details of a flight…

Jesse Armstrong also co-wrote Four Lions and Peep Show, amongst others. It's amazing how a very small group of people can have such an influence on a vast amount of cultural output…

Armando Iannucci is the link here; he produced and wrote for The Day Today, all the Alan Partridge shows, and also Time Trumpet.

Yeah, I was getting 500s for about three minutes before they posted the status update. I guess it's good that they at least update the status page in a timely fashion, but the thir…

The failure mode seems different to yesterday - then I was seeing failed pushes, today push works but Actions fail with "GitHub Actions has encountered an internal error when runni…
