"Man rests from one labor by doing another." That also works for managing chronic pain, as I've discovered...

  • Oh... there are several life reasons, I'm afraid. Hungary (like several other countries I visited) will have to remain in my good thoughts and memories. Fortunately, as part of my "Euro Comics" project, I get to visit many of them again through bandes dessinées...

  • Myroslav Lenko and Ivan Lenko (both UKR, Ukraine) training at the natural course in Mariazell for the Luge World Cup (2022)

  • Okay....... I kinda-maybe get the 'sled thing, right? And I get how... back when we were kids, sometimes we would share a sleigh ride because that's just what was available, right? It was an inconvenience, right? Still, some excellent fun.

    But, yeah... the whole thing about "2-3-4 people awkwardly jamming in to racing receptacle" is like... one of my waaas...?

    Haha... Me, I'd rather just the Road to Hell, with "Sleigh Bells" RINGING,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmwbGzfyLPQ

  • Note to the people milling... willy-nilly, upon the far side, there:"you heared of the cattle, there, and you chosed to stand your ground, is it not?"

    (Moss: "it is not")

    Oh, bother... I thought this was going to go another way... 😳

  • Not sure if this applies, but years ago, on a family trip to Magyar (Hungary), we newbies learned that the city of Budapest was formed by two smaller cities merging, literally the cities of "Buda" and "Pesht"...

    Or something like that?

  • Foof!We moderns love to flatter ourselves upon our high-tech gear, but just look at what our immediate ancestors were doing, not long before.

    And sometimes that extends 10Kyrs before, or even older..!

  • I didn’t notice any instability at all.

    Might be that it was caught early, or that it varied in severity and time distribution. We'd need some specific tools trained on the site to know for sure. But given the seriousness of the announcement, I'm not convinced it was just a blip, or whatever.

  • Clever; going under the radar a bit.

    Come to think of it, that might explain the attack.

  • Beautiful. Know where that happened?

  • "Yup" to just about all that, altho note that the dev / instance runner himself ID'd it as a DDOS attack.

    ...its user base has doubled in 3 days.

    Really? That might explain why my communities' subscriber base took off this week. Do you know what happened to double the base?

  • Sorry, I wish I hadn't uploaded that. The silly image is relatively tiny, but got blown up. Anyway, so you can't see the other comments in this thread? Are you hitting it from an app?

    EDIT: I've copy-pasted it in to the main post.

  • Okay, that's interesting. Note however that the instance runner specifically ID'd this as a DDOS attack. See copy of their message in side-comment here.

  • Wouldn't that tend to show up to the host as such, or as temporarily increased general activity?

    DDOS is a very specific kind of attack, as I understand it, involving overwhelming a server with rubbish packets.

  • Top of the PF.S stream:

    Piefed.social is having a denial of service attack. They are being kept at bay for now but could return with a more effective method. Download your community subscriptions so if you need to move to another server it’ll be painless - with a few clicks you’ll be seeing all the same content as before. See list of alternate servers at here or here.

    Sounds a bit concerning to me.

  • Excellent. I remember trying to make that once, and instead creating a lovely, robust mold experiment.

  • Right, Reddit... Riiiight...

  • Got that once today, then it disappeared. Probably working out some kinks in whatever they're trying to achieve, there.
