  1. 🐛💦 Oh, the thrill of discovering that ancient creepy crawlies were strutting their stuff underwater—until your request gets stonewalled by an overzealous digital bouncer. 🛑 Apparently, #millipede #evolution isn't the only thing stuck in the mud. 😂

    This is exactly why we call mobile backups a "Black Box"!

    Apple hides so much metadata and "invisible" storage that users end up paying for iCloud space without knowing why.

    That’s the problem we’re solving with #Keepita. We believe you should be able to see EVERY byte inside your backup, from hidden web app data to system files, without the guesswork.

    Great catch on the home screen bookmarks!

  11. Sadly, my external HDD died last night 😞 I lost a lot of stream-related stuff, and more importantly some really important documents.

    I’m still figuring out next steps, so streams might look a little different while I regroup. I’ll keep you all updated—just feeling pretty bummed about it right now. 💔

    Thanks for the patience and support.

    I ran CHKDSK For 9 hrs last night and while it sees the drive it won't actually load anything from it.

  12. 🤔 Ah, yes, the age-old tale of programmers ignoring warnings because who has time for that? 😅 Let’s just wait until the whole codebase combusts, then panic-solve. 📉 Apparently, foresight is as deprecated as the methods in question. 🚀

  13. Reddit faced a massive global outage, blocking browsing and login for thousands and sparking frustration as communication lagged. Ongoing stability issues raise big concerns for the platform’s future.

  14. I just installed Mbin using Docker, and when I tried to join a remote community, it showed a 500 error code. I'm not sure why. When I try to install federated software, it is always problematic with federation. I had installed Lemmy using Docker, but the same issue occurred. Therefore, I uninstalled both of them and forgot about them. I don't enjoy having them installed, honestly.

  15. I have contacted Contabo: "I will be ordering multiple VPS in Singapore. Ensure your infrastructure, including IPv6, is functioning properly, as no refunds are offered. Customer support is slow and misaligned with my schedule. Confirm IPv4, IPv6, and overall infrastructure are fully operational."

  19. My attempts to use a new Contabo VPS with IPv6 failed via SSH and browser, unlike IPv4 which worked. The issue was definitely with IPv6. I cancelled the subscription. Subsequent orders' costs kept rising, which I refuse to pay. I'll keep my old VPS despite its shortcomings, and I am reluctant to order another Contabo VPS.

  23. Paying for warp speed but getting dial-up? CNET has a guide to see if your ISP is actually delivering those promised Mbps. Let's be real, you're probably getting throttled. When was the last time you checked your internet speed, and what was the most disappointing result?

  24. If you had trouble accessing your CosmicNation Mastodon account, you weren’t alone. A short outage and apparent misconfiguration caused the issue. We’re back up now and didn’t even send a status warning earlier. :-)

  25. 💡The real reason we "need" SIMD? Because apparently, more #performance is the antidote to all life's problems, according to Nicholas Wilt's love letter to computational complexity. 🛠️ Meanwhile, the rest of us are still trying to figure out why our computers crash every time we open a spreadsheet. 🤷‍♂️

  27. 🚨💥 ALERT: The AI vibe shift is here to make you irrelevant and consume CNN's tech issues like a ravenous bot on a data buffet. 📉🎥 Meanwhile, CNN's video player remains an unyielding monument to #buffering, defying the very essence of progress. 🙄🔄
