The lesson for today is that you must always give your code weird ass names because tools tend to go online and fetch something completely unrelated if they can find the name :P

Cloudflare published a very good article explaining how yesterday's outage happened.

I encourage everyone to read it.

I also think people are focusing on that particular unwrap() too much, and not enough on a bigger picture: lack of fallbacks

Without fallbacks at the interfaces between different subsystems, there's nothing to stop an error in one place from cascading throughout the whole infra

Config parsing is not the only place where such fallback was missing

First #39C3 fake ticket spotted in the wild. If you see any offers on platforms like Kleinanzeigen or eBay showing a ticket it is a scam - tickets are not issued and no one knows how they will look like. Flag those offers please.

Another humble #UX request:

I know dates look ugly, but "last month" is a pretty wide timeframe and when my brain sees "3 weeks ago" it will recall yesterdays dinner and the 1994 World Cup finals with equal probability.

Please display exact dates on frontends!
