Instance going down forever/a long time. Funding is a bit of an issue. A backup will be made of everything essential to pick up where we left off.
I'm the only one on the instance, so who am I really talking to?
Hello! Just wrote a small program that responds to HTTP requests with the status you provide in the path.
https://genbyte.dev/status/302 returns Status 302
https://genbyte.dev/status/500 returns Status 500
The body of the HTTP response is the status code, too. I created this to debug a script that would have to wget a lot, and I didn't want to annoy someone's server.
I wrote a messy readme and put it up on sr.ht. You can find it here:

Hello! I want to run a steganography challenge, and I would like to judge interest. The puzzle will be a file, less than a megabyte in size, in which the flag will be hidden. Solution released a month after.
Boosts appreciated!
Keep a notebook where you write down your ideas, inspirations and wishes. Keep reading your old notes and improve upon them.
If something stays on the list for long enough, start working on it: you probably have given it enough thought now and it clearly seems worth it.

Many times, I've seen arguments made like this: "I'd try Mastodon, but I already have Twitter followers", or "I'd like to use OSM, but Google Maps has better data for my city", or, in my case, "I'd like to use sr.ht, but GitHub has better discoverability".
Platforms for which popularity improves the utility of the service are skewed in favor of the incumbents. New platforms face a chicken-and-egg problem. You have to decide - will you help it, or exacerbate it? Those are the only two choices you have.
Don't let that cool new platform die in obscurity while you wait for it to become popular.
