We can all go home now.

I'll open an issue. Ah, no.

The good thing with Git is, that many people have copies of the entire project history. This is a backup and people can still work on the project until servers are up again.
- Git is one of those things I'm really happy is the norm rather than something worse than it.
Is this a bot account? Living up to the username for sure.
- Doesn't look like a bot unless I'm missing something. Kind of a werid thing to say as a mod when it would probably be a better question to ask in private with other mods.
  
  Was only a joke due to the nature of the post and the username being aligned; not an intentional slight.
  But it would also be better that you don't get offended for others. Let them say what they want to say if they need to.
- The heck? I didn't get it at first, but I looked at this in a Lemmy instance and the OP name is different? On kbin, OP is xtremeownage. But on the original instance, their username somehow shows up as HTTP_404_NotFound, but still links as xtremeownage.
  Does Lemmy have some sorta different display name vs username thing?
  
  Their actual username is xtremeownage, which is why it still links that way, but lemmy lets users set a display name that's different from their username (in this case, HTTP_404_NotFound). Sounds like kbin doesn't respect lemmy display name settings.
Came here to post! Beat me to it.
I think it's geography based. Works for me from the west coast (usa) but not the east. :(
Only found out because coincidentally DEVOPS IS GITHUB. So yea, I guess add another non-critical thing to the playbook.
I thought I was having some paranormal firewall problem
