The site stopped working on August 8th. They posted a notice on Mstdn saying they were working on a fix, but that message has since been removed. It's been about two weeks now, and there's still no sign that it will be back.

Having used this site for almost two years, I find it frustrating to see one of the most popular mastodon instances fall apart like this. I blame the current owners, Mask Network (a bunch of crypto bros, by the way), for the site's current state, as they haven't addressed any of its issues. They allowed the platform to become riddled with CSAM for years and never fixed some serious bugs plaguing it. Right now, they can't even be bothered to tell us if the site is dead or if there are any plans to fix it.

Although the site has been declining for years, it's still sad to see it fall like this, especially since it was still has a decent user base in Japan.

Edit: Just to be clear, when I mean CSAM. I mean literally disgusting illegal content. Not Shotacon or Lolicon illustrations.

I think this was a issue for at least 4 years, and got completely solved around last year.

Although it was only a problem if you used the public timelime. I think a lot of people didn't even noticed.

For a while now, I've wanted a big device to watch videos on in bed. And I was considering an older iPad.

and I found a used 64GB iPad 4 in good condition and barely used for $40.

But I've never used an Apple product before. I understand it's recommended to downgrade to iOS 8 and patch the YouTube app. But aside from watching yt videos and playing games, It's a bit old to use regularly.

Also, I heard the activation servers weren't working right now, and I was wondering if that could affect me.

So my question is, is it really worth going through the process of creating an Apple account, activating the device, installing jailbreak, downgrading to iOS 8, and patching YouTube, just for an iPad 4 to watch youtube?

I have a 9xxx console. I like how compact it is, but it must be the worst console for homebrew, since the lack of fmcb support. and also tired of dealing with OPL and uLaunchELF.

and you know what? I already have several burned games and I really enjoy just being able to put the disc in and play.

So I was considering buying some discs and burning some games, but I was curious if anyone was still doing this. burning discs and play with them?
