I can't help but thinking this is more a case of fix your own shit. Rather than bitching about mastodon.
Pretty much any website beyond some self hosted personal blog should have no issues with the number of requests being talked about here...
Maybe if someone like @cstross was to be posting the link. That might be legit breaking. But for most mortals. It shouldn't be.
Fix your shit.

Dutch road infrastructure is not the cause, it is the effect.
Focus on the underlying principles, and the infrastructure will follow naturally.
This is like a bad supervillain movie where some maniac amasses greater and greater influence until he is ready to take over the world.
Sudo has a "large attack surface" and systemd does not ?
Really ?

When I was a kid I didn’t even know HRT or puberty blockers existed. I’d like to think that if I had access to the information about gender that kids these days have that I would have understood my transness a lot earlier. I wouldn’t have said shit to my parents. I was already being threatened with violence and homelessness, you think I would’ve added another thing to my plate? Hell no
Interesting perspective from TikTok: students in the USA are resisting police disruption of Palestine protests using skills obtained via active shooter drills

"Infra stack: from AWS to on-prem. AWS was becoming too costly, so #Bluesky moved over to dedicated data centers and bare-metal machines."
That's not something you read every day.

A lovely and heartwarming message from Daniel Radcliffe.

A rabbi was asked by one of his students “Why did God create atheists?” After a long pause, the rabbi finally responded with a soft but sincere voice. “God created atheists” he said, “to teach us the most important lesson of them all – the lesson of true compassion. You see, when an atheist performs an act of charity, visits someone who is sick, helps someone in need, and cares for the world, he is not doing so because of some religious teaching. He does not believe that God commanded him to perform this act. In fact, he does not believe in God at all, so his actions are based on his sense of morality. Look at the kindness he bestows on others simply because he feels it to be right. When someone reaches out to you for help. You should never say ‘I’ll pray that God will help you.’ Instead, for that moment, you should become an atheist – imagine there is no God who could help, and say ‘I will help you’.”

The kids are alright.
Anyone doing anything somewhat associated with platform engineering should be acutely aware of this:
"There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult." -- C.A.R. Hoare
Time to do a bit of code refactoring of my toy key value store project. With the introduction of transactions I created a structural mutex deadlock situation that requires a few algorithm changes.
Oh well, it keeps me off the streets.
So, although it's not quite the worst kaas scenario, I think we definitely made one of the worst choices from the available options for restaurants.
"Ah well, that depends on your definition of "exist"."
I love having friends that I can have sensible conversations with.

Modern times
I think this migration is now complete.
