Wow! This proves that people still read and value printed word. Impressive!

Probably tonnes of people reading the reviews.

Just as a heads up - the bug with ads sometimes just disappearing and leaving blank spaces is back. Saw it on mobile just now. Reloading the page does make them reappear.

This can happen when something fails or gets reloaded server-side, it shuts off the ads for a few seconds (added exponential backoff a few days ago, so the first one is like 10 seconds only)

Never happened to me though.

That's likely a browser problem.

Me neither.

Is it just me or did I feel the server hiccup ever so slightly less than 1-2mins ago? There was a bit of latency when I posted.

I am detecting a disturbance in the matrix.

I've also seen posts take a solid 20second to post after clicking "Post reply". Server sync issue maybe?

Yep, ATM, it seems kinda slow for me too

Yeah I just reset a bunch of our CSS and HTML templates to fix an issue with the menu on the main site. Should be smooth from now on

lexluthermiester · Apr 11, 2025

More 502's just happened. Before that, the site was hangin.

Damn! That sucks. Who would DDoS TPU?

W1zzard · Apr 15, 2025

DDOS attack again, just banned their IPs

Scattergrunt · Apr 15, 2025

I'm baffled who would DDOS TPU of all places. No offense, but it seems weird (and random) lol

Same here. Maybe some silly user who got banned? There's been a lot of that lately.
