Thanks for the heads up.

Where are we moving?
Thanks for the heads up. There were some scattered services that went down last night because of a DDOS attack, and it’s nice to know that when this goes down, it’s just for maintenance!
Oh shit, we’re already into the window! Lol
hmm it's pretty nice outside, maybe later...
This is so human and I love it. Hope you’re enjoying the nice weather.
it sure is
enjoy your evening :)

77 degrees, that's good for brewing green tea, far too hot for living human beings.
That's relatively cool for Florida, they use Fahrenheit in the US.
77F = 25C
Why, haven't they been told about Celsius yet?
Next you tell me they don't know what kilometers are, lol.
We have been told, and the scientific community uses it. But there are still a lot here that think it is communist bullshit.
I worked on scientific campuses for 25 years, I used C for everything at that time, but since leaving I have slowly slid back to F.
"think it is communist bullshit"

Considering this map of places that use it, everywhere except the US and a couple tiny islands would be "communist". lol
Didn't know communists were close to taking over all of the world in 2026. :p
scnr
I like it cooler for my tea and otherwise, even though I may be stuck in Orlando for the moment, I’m a lifelong New Yorker! 😁
Is there a way to pitch in to help you cover the running costs? I believe in paying for the stuff I use.
EDIT: Of course, there's a prominent Donate button up top that never moves, and I missed it. I wish I didn't have to give a cut to Patreon, Ko-Fi or Liberapay though... I'll check which one has the lowest fees before donating.
Sure, please see https://piefed.social/donate
Well, something simple turned out to warrant a bit more research than I anticipated:
- Patreon requires an account. That can fuck right off.
- Liberapay is for recurring support only. I only do one-time payments that I renew myself manually every year: I don't want any recurring payments going on my credit card. Ever.
- Ko-Fi takes a 5% cut. Meh...
I guess I'll do Ko-Fi...
I bought a Storage Box from them this month. I need to backup somewhere and I've seen them recommended many times. I need a reputable provider in the EU. If somebody has better propositions, let me know.
If I may ask, I saw a Donate link on PieFed, I actually plan to use it if I stay (my account is just a couple weeks old), I guess there's not enough donations to cover the costs?
