This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Assuming slrpnk stands for solar punk - that produces funny little theories in my mind about the server location.
Lol in my head it stands for slurp nick
It's clearly "slurp nook," that nook where you can go to slurp soup as loudly as you want without being judged.
Makes most sense
I’m glad I’m not the only one lol
I'll be back when they get back up.
Wondering if a volunteer could go to the physical location necessary to restore service. If it's in Athens Greece, I can make the trip.
Edit: The server is located in Azores, the flight would cost 415eur, I cannot afford that, maybe someone in Portugal could help?
Is it in a data centre or someone's house? If the latter, would they let a stranger in?
Surely they would need a backup and replicate db to so in case of hardware failure they switch over.
Sounds like they could improve their setup.
Too much of a single point of failure.
Probably quite expensive, and when doing something as a hobby it's often hard to get the funds.
Off topic, but in Portugal was the first time me, a Central European, ever ate a ripe Papaya. Yum! Thanks to the Azores. The shit you get in the supermarkets round here is useless. Same for mangoes, usually.
You are in luck then, because both are climacteric fruits, meaning they continue to ripe after being harvested, due to producing ethylene gas that triggers the ripening
Throw them in a paper bag and let them rest at room temp. If you want to speed up the process, add a ripe banana or apple (or other ripe climacteric fruits)
The taste just isn't the same.
You might have eaten a different cultivar than those exported. In that case, I agree, there are so many different varieties that we never get to taste, supermarkets usually only have 1 or 2 different types
It's baffling to me how customisable some fruit features can be. I know someone who works in plant genomics and cultivation and it's really cool how they can use genomic analysis alongside selective breeding to select for traits. I imagine that imported papayas are cultivars that are easier to transport internationally.
