screenshot from Cloudflare ORD (Chicago) on 2025-12-05 In progress - Scheduled maintenance is currently in progress. We will provide updates as necessary. Dec 05, 2025 - 07:00 UTC Scheduled - We will be performing scheduled maintenance in ORD (Chicago) datacenter on 2025-12-05 between 07:00 and 11:00 UTC. Traffic might be re-routed from this location, hence there is a possibility of a slight increase in latency during this maintenance window for end-users in the affected region. For PNI / CNI customers connecting with us in this location, please make sure you are expecting this traffic to fail over elsewhere during this maintenance window as network interfaces in this datacentre may become temporarily unavailable. You can now subscribe to these notifications via Cloudflare dashboard and receive these updates directly via email, PagerDuty and webhooks (based on your plan): https://developers.cloudflare.com/notifications/notification-available/#cloudflare-status.

Here are my November stats via @thestorygraph.com

Some notes:
- every audiobook was read wholly or in part in tandem with another format (e-book or print book)
- when I do hybrid reads with audio I log the audiobook hence the high audio numbers

find more here: app.thestorygraph.com/profile/100o...
