Text reads: "Until 9 December, every pound you give will be doubled thanks to match funding!" Inside an arrow pointing to the right is written "We need you". At the bottom of the page text reads "Double your donation today" alongside the Open Up Music and Big Give Christmas Challenge logos.

Two photos, side by side, of the same scene, with different elements in focus. Mossy wall with gossamer threads in the foreground overlooking water and boggy ground, fallen trees, and in the distance misty woodland with golden sunlight filtering through.
Which focus do you prefer? A: droplets on the gossamer threads; or B: autumnal scene. #nature #photography
Taken this morning at Oldbury Court Estate in #Bristol.
Every now and then there's a gasp of life, but I've been aware of the issue for 3.5hrs, so far.

DownDetector graph for CloudFlare showing near-zero for the past 24 hours and then a spike of 180 reports right now.
... And we're back up. Apparently it is possible to report a Cloudflare problem on DownDetector... once it's over. 😆🙄

Looks like Cloudflare is down. I tried reporting it on DownDetector.co.uk but apparently it runs on Cloudflare. 😂 Does this mean that the DownDetector Cloudflare status page always reports 100% uptime? 🤔
18.11.2025 11:37 — 👍 5 🔁 1 💬 1 📌 0Thanks for playing it, Spectral. It was fun to see you in action. At 7:28 it was a flying saucer bullet that got you. The smaller ones are more accurate... and both saucers improve their aim the higher the level. Lots of subtle tuning to make the higher levels more challenging.

19.09.2025 13:27 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I've got to give #kudos to @labudis.bsky.social at Microsoft/Github for listening to users. In response to me and a small number of other developers who really missed this feature, they responded and ultimately reinstated it. It's so rare to be heard by big tech and I really appreciate this. Thanks!

For any developers wondering why their Github issues are no longer in the order they put them, here's why: github.com/orgs/communi...
tl;dr: The feature has just been withdrawn. 🤬
You can no longer order issues in a milestone. @github.com

I'm a big fan of Serif's Affinity suite. I much prefer Affinity Designer to Adobe Illustrator. Their #BlackFriday deal has just started. I have no affiliation with them and I don't get any commission. #RavingFan affinity.serif.com/en-gb/?utm_t...

Blue 'Twitter' bird escaping a nest in the shape of an 'X' of charred twigs, and joining other twitter birds for a blue sky.
Time to fly the nest as an X-Tweeter. I abandoned Twitter when it stopped being Twitter and I'm looking forward to blue skies. Let’s make something fresh and positive together! #Xodus #Bluesky
