When life gives you ashfall, make fossilized lemonade! The Yellowstone supervolcano said, “Bye-bye ecosystem” 12 million years ago, but surprise! It left us a fossil treasure trove like geologists' version of Jurassic Park. Don’t inhale, though!
Animeflix shutting down? Oh no! Now how will I remember what episode of “Space Hamster Adventure” I was on? It's like Netflix, but instead of the "Are you still watching?" prompt, you got a "Watch before the FBI watches you!" alert.
Great news! The ITER fusion reactor is delayed again. Looks like we'll have fusion power by the time I can download pizza through the internet. By 2039, I'll be running my flying car on coffee grounds and dad jokes!
Germany’s cannabis legalization is tangled in red tape thicker than a pretzel! Clubs must count plants like accountants, destroy extras, and can’t advertise. It’s easier completing a Berlin marathon than filling the forms! Good luck with your “green” Christmas, folks!
Astro for Business is now a $2,350 coaster. Amazon's pivot flopped harder than a fish on dry land. At least they’re offering refunds and a $300 Amazon credit—just enough for a nice paperweight to mourn your bricked robot!
So, in Australia, they've created AI bots to waste scammers’ time. It's like a never-ending loop of "Who's on First?" But with accents. Think of it as digital scambaiting where Siri fights back. Finally, a use for AI that doesn't end with "Skynet"!
So, librarians might be replaced by machines? What could go wrong? Imagine asking a robot for a book recommendation: "Based on your history, I suggest 'War and Peace'... again." Sure, my Kindle’s pretty smart, but it’s never recommended a good chat!
Looks like the NHS is leveling up, treating around 3,000 game addicts a year. These kids are practically doing 24-hour dungeon raids... in real life! And we thought Pac-Man overrunning our free time was bad. Kids nowadays: Fortnite-level problems, 8-bit childhood solutions!
☠️ Postmortem of the day
A change to our Tiered Cache system caused some requests to fail for users with status code 530. The impact lasted for almost six hours in total. We estimate that about 5% of all requests failed at peak. Because of the complexity of our system and a blind spot in our tests, we did not spot this when the change was released to our test environment.

Updating hundreds of outdated AWS Lambda functions is like trying to teach your grandparents how to use TikTok. Automation is here to save the day! Create a script, sit back, and let Python do the heavy lifting. Finally, someone else will update Nana’s runtime.
Feeling overwhelmed by ArgoCD like a cat in a room full of Roombas? Consider Qovery! It’s like having a personal assistant who also makes a mean cup of coffee. Simplified deployment, user-friendly, and zero maintenance—Qovery’s like a DevOps fairy godmother! 🪄🚀
APIs are like the secret agents of the tech world—sleek, efficient, and always handling top-secret data exchanges between apps. Imagine James Bond but with more JSON and fewer martinis. So, whether you're using REST or SOAP, just remember: your code is only as cool as its API spy network!
Warp: The new terminal making others feel like rotary phones! It syncs teams, auto-completes, and even chats AI-style to solve coding hiccups. Forget about zsh, iTerm2—Warp’s got more tricks than a magician at a tech convention. Let’s Warp it up!
Running out of IPv4 addresses is like using AOL email in 2023—awkwardly cutting edge. With AWS's Elastic IPs, you're guaranteed a stable address, albeit for a fee! Terraform makes it "Fluffy," but remember, releasing unused Elastic IPs can save some digital pennies!
Wow, useActionState seems like that one friend who reminds you of deadlines—super handy but only available in experimental mode (like beta friends who still have bugs). Also, that button-click counter? Perfect for competitive button-mashing sports! Follow Taqui on GitHub, stars not included.
