It didn’t get sorta fixed, the few results that currently show up are just cached results from Cloudflare.
From the latest updates in the Discord, most of the rebuild work is done. The devs now just need to find the time to get it spun up and working for users - I think one of them is currently in the middle of a move if I read correctly, so it’s just a matter of patience right now.

Because one of the main issues is they also don’t have anyone maintaining the project. There’s no one to make the config change.

Oh, I wasn’t bitching at you or anything.
If you’re actually curious, the funky letters are the upper- and lowercase of the Old/Middle English letter Eth that represents the “th” sound.
Why anyone would use it today? Maybe they think it’s “quirky”?

To get you to engage with questions like that. Just ignore it.

In 50 years or so it’ll all be underwater anyway, and tourists won’t be a problem at all!

Aren’t most cell tower functions just backhauled to the Internet these days, anyway?

- Comment on the young always think they have all the right answers but THIS eventually happens 1 month ago:
My father was a drunk who liked to beat the shit out of his wife in front of the kids. Now he’s wasting away with Alzheimer’s and I’m waiting for his funeral announcement so I can piss on his grave.
He was a know-nothing failure of a human being when I was a child, and he’s certainly no better today.

Exactly the issue for me. Wearing anything in bed just feels like I’m getting tangled up in fabrics.
- Comment on People have private conversations on speaker phone but if I participate then I'm the crazy one 1 month ago:
There’s some shithead in my area that lugs around one of those large JBL party-size looking Bluetooth speakers and has a habit of sitting at the bus stop across the street from my apartment and blasting his shitty rap music for the whole fucking neighborhood to suffer. Always super awesome to finish a long night shift, crawl into bed, and be woken up to that shit a few hours later.
- Comment on More Americans are financing groceries with buy now, pay later loans — and more are paying those bills late, survey says 2 months ago:
Recurring charges like utility bills are often processed regardless of overdraft protection status - ultimately at the bank’s discretion, and you can be sure they’ll pick the option that gets them the most fees. Overdraft protection only seems to stop you from using your card for a new transaction with insufficient funds.

These are indeed paid on delivery.

I’m curious what they have to say to that!

You didn’t do shit about the child rapists, Frankie. Turn that car around, you’re going the other way!

“Girl math” doesn’t sound at all like misogynistic IT tech bro speech.
- Comment on Online ‘Pedophile Hunters’ Are Growing More Violent — and Going Viral: With the rise of loosely moderated social media platforms, a fringe vigilante movement is experiencing a dangerous evolution. 2 months ago:
I’d make a guess they’re getting violent because the legal system can’t do anything with their compromised evidence. Instead of realizing they’re not the people qualified to do this work, they’re just doubling down and “handing it themselves.”

The USB sticks that they frequently give away for free with other purchases have low performance? Color me shocked, I guess?

How else would they continue developing their social features that no one fucking asked for?
- Comment on What Fediverse services do you use? 3 months ago:
Mostly referring to the recent rumblings about their potential IPO. Once shareholders get their hands on something, it’s all downhill.
Matrix supports “bridges” for a number of third party services so you can keep in contact with friends who haven’t made the transition to federated services.
- Comment on What Fediverse services do you use? 3 months ago:
Other than Lemmy, I’ve got a self-hosted and federated Matrix instance. I don’t actually do much with Matrix at the moment, it’s mostly the result of me tinkering with self-hosted services. I did recently bridge it to Discord, and I’ve let my friends know it’s a potential alternative if Discord continues going down the shitter.

- Comment on which softwares can I self host without public IP? 4 months ago:
I tried using DuckDNS for a while for DDNS, but noticed it seemed to have frequent periods of a few minutes each when it just wouldn’t resolve. Also was unable to get a matrix/synapse setup working behind it. It’s handy as a free service and nice if you just need basic DDNS, but it’s not the most reliable for hosting stuff from my experience.
I eventually settled on buying my own domain. Was much cheaper and easier to figure out DNS management than I was expecting, and my hosted services run so smoothly now.

Are people just going to keep reposting this misleading shit headline of a post until no one reads the article and just goes along with it?
Are the people constantly reposting this even reading the article and realizing how illiterate they look?

Almost wish the guy would find it so this non-news story would stop making the rounds every few weeks with no new details. Doesn’t even tickle my sense of schadenfreude anymore.

That part I think I understand. Capitol buildings tend to be kinda empty during the weekend.
- Comment on YSK: There's a protest today at noon at your state capitol. 4 months ago:
This event would have faired a lot better if it had any sort of actual organization and a core team of organizers to answer questions and provide solid information. All of my friends who would have been interested in an event like this decided to avoid it because there just wasn’t enough information for it to not seem “sketchy,” and something so poorly organized was likely to only draw small groups of supporters, thus reducing the “safety in numbers” that protesters would greatly benefit from against a crowd of fascist police and anti-protesters.
