Canonical/Ubuntu major outage on the same day as Copy Fail seems not great:
"Component 'Ubuntu Security API - CVEs' and a few other components are Down", currently at 14 hours (apparently DDoS).
"a few other components" being Livepatch API, Ubuntu Security API - Notices, canonical.com, launchpad.net, ubuntu.com, and several others.

The administration plan to slash the US Forest Service offices and relocate and consolidate its research and development facilities would also potentially abandon generational investments in critical forestry data, samples, and resources. This would leave land managers, firefighters, and decision makers without the crucial information they need to manage climate risks and protect US forests from wildfires growing in frequency and intensity.

@mdsumner Anyway, TBF I had seen your post, so was fairly warned before making that mistake. At least I remembered where to go look to avoid it in the future. Thanks!

@EvenRouault @jakobmiksch didn't go too well when someone tried it on Linux kernel and the reasons Even cited were a big part.

Excellent reporting by William Brangham on PBS NewsHour today.
"And what we understand about fire behavior and fire risk is front and center. To even start to lose ground on what we're learning on that would be a significant, immediate loss. This is long-term stuff. This is stuff that relates to quality of life for not only this generation, but other generation and needs that we have just for basic sustenance of humans."
-Mike Dombeck, Former Chief, U.S. Forest Service
"the price of jet fuel has skyrocketed since the war in Iran began in late February. Ultimately, taxpayers will be the ones to shell out tens of millions of dollars more to fight summer wildfires this year."
Apparently my neighborhood is "geographically confused" 🙂
"If you've lived there long enough, you've probably heard sensational tales of strife and betrayal surrounding the origin of the Garden City’s most geographically confused neighborhood. We're here to set the record straight. It’s the saga of the Slant Streets... Some versions of this legend even have rumors of infidelity in the mix, Nick."
"There is a timeless quality to a New England spring (or as timeless as anything can be in an age of rapid climate change), and part of that timelessness is the United States Forest Service, whose land boundaries I wander across most days on rambles through the woods. For more than a century, the Forest Service has been a fairly stable fact of life across vast swaths of the American landscape."

@JulianOliver@mastodon.social possibly remains non-fixed. I was seeing info that certain kernel versions may have patches for Ubuntu, then tried to get the official Canonical documentation but no luck. I see they just added some status updates.
