According to the (currently only) NS host:

"We would like to inform you that the UPS located in our data center has malfunctioned. Unfortunately, the repair process will take longer than usual, as the necessary parts for resolving the issue are currently unavailable"

The process has been started to quickly add more nameservers, unfortunately a number of hosting companies housing our DNS have disappeared recently due to more-suspicious-than-usual circumstances.

We recently had to fly someone to another country and hire a private investigator to track down a disappeared host who refused to allow us any access to our disks while he had them plugged into his computers to try to crack into them.

So, while it may just look like the site has been down all day, please spread the word that we're working on a bit more than just an NS record.

Every day, spiraling inexorably closer to a Framework Printer.

@noyoushutthefuckupdad I knew it was inevitable given that it was a popular service for sending in bomb threats.

You are probably better off actually paying for an email address as it makes it much harder for fedposters (fedsenders?) to make throw away accounts.

This seems like a good choice. They only charge 1 EUR/Month and accept cash via mail, including USD.

After a 64-year-old pensioner retweeted a meme of Green Economy Minister Robert Habeck, in which Habeck was described as an “idiot,” Bavarian police raided the man’s house and arrested him.

@Rocket @coolboymew I've heard that the story isn't fleshed out unless you have the expansion pack installed.

@Disa @RehnSturm256 It's definitely the degradation of a hobby meme but again.

Something you might only use to block servers posting illegal content yet again gets used to ban anyone the owner doesn't like, and it's worse when you have people literally on substances running instances.

@RehnSturm256 I’ve noticed fedi becoming like that too. It feels like when I started using fedi there were 2 sides of fedi. The “Canceldon instances”, and “Dark Fedi” ones. With a rare few fedi instances which managed to stay in contact with both somehow.

Now it feels like “Dark Fedi” is starting to get just as defederation happy as the rest of fedi which they would make fun of. So now you’re getting these weird subgroups of fedi, everyone forming their own little echo chambers.

It feels like being defederated by association used to be exclusively a “canceldon” thing pretty much, but now I’m noticing “based” “free speech” “dark fedi” instances doing it.

Either you die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become to villain.

It’s kinda funny, I never started Shota House with the intention of being a “Free Speech Instance” always wanted to be a little cozier and slightly more moderated. Though it’s starting to seem like with baest gone, we’re one of the more light-touch free speech leaning instances.

not sure how I feel about that.

@Forestofenchantment @PurpCat @djsumdog @branman65 There are still malls in my area but the arcades in them are empty (in terms of people).

Though claw machine and stack type games seemed to fall out of fashion. They made sense back when it was a luxury to own something like a smartphone or even an iPod Touch which is why they were popular choices for prizes, but everyone owns those things now.

Oh yeah. I didn't include the best one.

@PurpCat @Forestofenchantment @djsumdog @branman65 Yeah, I'm well aware of the Flappy Bird and Fruit Ninja cabinets, but I never see anyone play those.

The only new arcade games with any effort put in to them seem to be Japan-only, but it seems to be mostly rhythm games.

I was mostly talking about the 6th gen when arcade games truly started to decline and consoles still primarily used memory cards. It would've at least incentivize people to go to arcades because they could unlock and download new content for their console games that way.

@Forestofenchantment @PurpCat @djsumdog @branman65 Arcade games should've taken a page from F-Zero AX (connectivity with console games via memory cards) to keep themselves relevant.
