Cloudflare is down... I use UptimeRobot to monitor sites. UptimeRobot is also hosted on Cloudflare. It is VERY BROKEN right now. DownDetector is another useful tool for checking site availability. Also hosted on Cloudflare. DownForEveryoneOrJustMe... yep, hosted on Cloudflare. GOLLY THIS IS FUN!
When Cloudflare goes down but you still remember how to program without Copilot

A Greggs bag in UK claims "BAG SOME JOY" is a registered trademark. Seriously?
Creative writing time. What did the reindeer do to deserve this fate?!

BBC Under Attack: Pot and Kettle Special The new Private Eye is out now.
After reading the Eye's special report on how Tees Valley mayor Lord (Ben) Houchen’s flagship “levelling up” project became a taxpayer-funded scandal, a reader writes... Watch the full episode of Page 94 on YouTube.
@ecoflowtech.bsky.social I thought you should know this YouTube advert has maths that don't add up, and by the way "£9.9" is not how we quote prices in UK.
Gavin's video on the Slow Mo Guys channel (some glorious footage): www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1c7... And here's a GitHub repo (github.com/geerlingguy/...) and blog post (www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2025/co...) with the code and more detail.
Hot Dog vs 7000 W Radio Tower at 200,000 FPS - The Slow Mo Guys

When you ground a hot dog to an AM radio tower, it generates plasma. Can I turn that plasma into audible sound—without a microphone? Excited to finally post this Geerling Engineering video after working with @gavinfree.bsky.social to get the high speed footage! www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMF3...
There's a gang in my area and they recruit members by threatening them with all kinds of punishments if they don't join. But enough about the church...
@ai-fix-mark.bsky.social Every time I hear your reaction to the AI trolley problem, I still chuckle. Pull the plug. Pull the plug, Graham. Abort! Abort! :-)

Plan to ban catapults for under 18s From the new Private Eye, out now.
She: *sends photo of woman* She: What do you think? Is this pretty? Me: I guess. She has dead eyes, though. Like she's being forced into taking the photo, by financial circumstances or other sinister powers. Maybe sedated to get through the working day or-- She: The dress. I mean the dress. Me: Oh.😁
Listing AI-generated images for sale on stock photo libraries makes about as much sense as a bar deciding to offer pints of human piss for sale. Like, even if you want that, even if that's genuinely the thing you want, why on earth would you pay good money for it when you could just make your own?
"Sing us a song. You're the piano man. Sing us a song tonight. Well, we're all in the mood for a melody And you've got us feelin' alright" (insert tears, and excuses for those tears here) #BillyJoel FTW. He saved my sanity once, many many years ago...
@kevlin.bsky.social These LLMs are getting better, I have to admit I tried 'r's in 'strawberry' and 'w's in Mississippi with no trouble, so I tried asking "How many 'L's are there in 'floccinaucinihilipilification'?" and it said 3. I think that's right ;-) I think they've made a special case :-)

@theaifix.show My "Would you trust a pigeon?" mug has arrived and been christened with coffee (Canadiano, natch). It's the larger 15floz size (can of pop for scale), the quality is superb and the coffee tastes even better than usual :-) What more could a reformed programmer ask for?
