Is #cloudflare having another outage? I’ve checked that status pages for several sites (Crunchyroll, Chess.com, etc.), and they’re all showing default 500 server error pages from Cloudflare. 😬

You haven't truly lived the life of a #sysadmin until you're googling around to figure out some issue and find a post about it where someone's asking the exact same question and... it's you. You, asking the exact same question ten years ago. And nobody answers.

I bought a game soundtrack on #steam, but I can’t figure out how to download or listen to it. Am I old, or is their UI just bad? It's difficult to tell, these days.

I keep dying in this one section of the story in #stray, and it’s gotten to the point where I've died so many times attempting to do the same thing that the game is now boring, and I’m giving up. 😞

I don’t know what it is about TextMate, but every few months, I have to manually delete the `~/Library/Caches/com.macromates.TextMate` directory or TextMate won’t launch.

I’m still unable to get any mail client to actually work well.
Thunderbird shows quoted lines prefixed with a right angle bracket (greater-than symbol), but if I prefix a line with that manually, it doesn’t send it as a quoted line, but sometimes, it does!
I don’t understand.
