Here’s the note Reddit sent to moderators threatening them if they don’t reopen

Reddit is messaging moderators of communities that closed to protest its API changes. It says anyone “hindering” reopening can be replaced with someone willing to bring the subreddit back online.

Upgrades by users immediately after a Debian release place a significant load on the mirror network. In July 2019 the release of buster saw nearly 1GiB/s peak file downloads for several days on some networks, whilst in August 2021 the releasing bullseye caused 1.05GiB/s. That's over 840Gbps network bandwidth! More statistics are available at accum.se/technical/statistics/… #ReleasingDebianBookworm #Debian

Some more of the cluster serving as the tier0 mirror for Debian images: mirror.accum.se/about/

The old numbers are rrd-wise smoothed too, so those are several hour averages for past years. The 5-minute peaks were closer to our capacity of 20Gbit/s.

I've used debian since 2000 or 2001 or thereabouts and this is the first time I'm reading the release notes. 🙂

Before I've just winged it.

It could be that this not reading the release notes is a habit I acquired, because I stayed so many years on testing before I got my first stable upgrade...?

Tal y como pinta ahora la política actual, diría que el BNG es un partido regionalista y que los nacionalistas son la ultraderecha y la derecha. Hay que empezar a no distinguir entre nacionalismo regional o nacionalismo patrio. Este segundo suele ser más peligroso por excluyente.

in reply to Óscar Gorri 2 years ago

Excluyentes pueden ser los dos. Hoy en día diría que el centralista es algo más peligroso pero todo depende del momento. En general el tema de banderas y mezclar el pasaporte con el folklore o tener que defender determinadas ideas históricamente insostenibles me da bastante mal rollo, así que me quedo fuera de ambos.
