@sirico@feddit.uk Nice misinformation.

AWS reports no issues: https://health.aws.amazon.com/health/status

Also downdetector just spans 24h.

The outage was 3 days ago on Monday.

Easiest explaination:

1. Visit website X without VPN
2. Get tracking cookie set that’s associated with your IP and approximate location
3. Turn on VPN because your’re an idiot that believes VPNs fix everything
4. Wonder how website X knows your approximate location

So no rocket science involved here…

The website is actually hosted on GitHub pages.

Just type in a random non-existing path and it shows the GitHub pages 404 path.

I’m having no problems with donating to OSS projects, yet what always prevents me from doing so is when such projects are not transparent where my donation money actually goes.

Yet, the average donations we receive are around 100 euros per month. A sum that doesn’t even cover server costs or the resources we use.

Well, I see no linked explanation where this money goes or why the server costs are so high, which is immediately a red flag for me.
