having a /healthz endpoint which returns "OK" or "shit's fucked" is such a big deal you don't even know

something's slow? ask /healthz

odd errors? ask /healthz

don't need to be worried about breaking it when it's worth a whole $14

Keep Furry Weird!!

Be whatever you want to be. Be silly, be affectionate, be kinky, be queer, be unique and special, be furry the way YOU want to be furry. Show the world that you're not afraid to be you.

Screw the haters. They'll hate you no matter what, so show them they don't matter!

I am SO PROUD of you. I'm proud of who you are, of your journey of self-discovery, of the fact that you have a "weird" side that you love.

Keep Furry Weird, and love our fandom for the people in it! 💙💙

OSS dev rant 

Is there a problem in OSS with developers acting like pricks to newbies?
No, really.

When I was working on my Gigatron MAME driver a couple years back I was met with a lot of unnecessary attitude, especially with me being a newbie. Yeah, I made stupid PRs and commits, but there were a couple of MAME team members that were just.. rude. I get they have to deal with trolls on Reddit a lot but I at least showed that I cared and wanted to contribute.
