If anyone knows a journalist that might be interested in a story on musk's gating the Twitter API and its effect on accessibility on Twitter, I'd love to talk to them. The rallying cry is currently #SaveA11yBots

“Sky High” is a fun superhero/high school mashup movie that kind of got buried by the MCU. https://www.theincomparable.com/theincomparable/651/
Breakfast Club for Superheroes (The Incomparable Mothership 651)

Get in line to order a hero sandwich—not so fast, sidekick! We’re here to talk about 2005’s thoroughly delightful Disney movie “Sky High,” featuring superhero action and teen drama that are both full to the brim—but never quite over the top.

If you've noticed Mastodon.social being offline a few evenings this week, it was actually under DDOS those nights. When I asked, I was told the best way to help with Mastosoc's scaling and resiliency-under-pressure issues would be to help them fill this open job posting for a devops position with Mastodon gGMBH:

If you know anyone who might be qualified for this position, pass it on!

DevOps Engineer (m/f/d)

We are looking for a DevOps Engineer to maintain and streamline the operation of our own Mastodon infrastructure (servers, official resources) and help us scale with demand.

mastodon.social, mastodon.online and joinmastodon.org were hit by a DDoS yesterday, thankfully joinmastodon.org was already behind Fastly so it didn't have any impact on it. We've now moved mastodon.online behind Fastly and will do the same with mastodon.social soon.
